[Husker] NU vs. PSU

[Steve Cornelius]

Hard to tell if Nebraska will face a motivated Penn State team striving to
give Paterno a victory at home for the last time or a shattered and
distracted team.

I wonder if the sidelines and end zones will have the same dimensions for
both teams (see 1982 Nebraska - Penn State game)!
