[Husker] Fwd: Regular Season

[Skylar Dodds]

I would agree with what you were saying if we weren't talking about
WISCONSIN.

Coming into Saturday they were 8th in the B1G at 27.5 points per game and
72nd in the country.

High powered offenses of today do not apply to this discussion.

It would be one thing if we were playing Oregon or some explosive
offense...we weren't.  We were playing 7-5 Wisconsin...8th of 12 teams in
their conference and 72nd in the country.

Lewis and Clark like.

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.
