[Husker] Thoughts

[David Strong]

I didn't think we would win today.  A good Michigan team in the Big House
is hard to beat.  But I hate getting slapped liked that.  I find myself
thinking "We are Nebraska and while we might not win every game, if you
beat us you know you have been in a war." (figuratively speaking).  And so
scores like 45-17 and 48-17 really sting.  We shouldn't expect to win every
game, but those are hard to take.

One thing jumped out at me early.  After the second possession, I could
tell that Michigan's defensive line owned us.  You could tell it not only
in their play, but in their attitude.  They had the swag and looked like
they couldn't wait for a chance to hit our Oline.  Our guys just didn't
look the same.

Rex getting 36 yards?  Actually, I don't believe we could win any game with
Burkhead only getting 36.  But in addition to that, the turnovers and
mistakes.  Ouch.  45-17.

I really want to win this last game.  For the season as a whole.  We've had
a lot to cheer about and several big game wins this year.  I don't think I
could have asked for more with this team.  But it will be a different
feeling if we lose the last game.

Anyone watching OK vs. Baylor right now?  Awesome.
