Well, it's a new high-scoring era.  How many times in the past have you seen 
TWO teams score 50 or more points in a game?  Yet it happened multiple times 
this season.  (And it could happen again in a bowl game or two.)

The days when Tom Osborne sent a message to the other team's head coach
that they would only run plays into the middle of the line for the rest
of the game are LONG OVER!

And in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, Nebraska had a chance to score late in the game,
but they sent Matt Turman in to take a knee inside the five.

I have my doubts that the Wisconsin coach would have done that.
