[Husker] Positive Thoughts

Sun Nov 6 09:15:59 CST 2011

Good post, Rdub, good perspective from someone at the game.  How about
Taylor bringing the team down to score with under 2 minutes to play.  I did
not think he had it in him and he was really impressive.  Can't blame Beck
though.  We should have been able to run on this team and if he goes to
more pass and Taylor goes Taylor, well that is not good.

Oh that last drive by NWU hurt.  We kick to them with 8+ minutes to play,
down by three, and they run it down our throats for over 7 minutes and
score a TD.  Aye Caramba.  Wish it had not happened in Memorial Stadium.
