I was there, too. My husband and I refer to it as the "Siesta Bowl" as the defense was asleep. I hate Dion Sanders to this day. Not quite with the burning hate of a thousand suns, but hate none the less. 

That particular game was a watershed moment in Nebraska football. It was after that game that TO and Charlie McBride decided to recruit for speed. We all know what happened just a couple years later. 

My measure of a good coach is if they are adaptable. TO and McBride were, let's see how Bo and Wat's do.
