They actually put the academic all-Americans up on the scoreboard, 
with three for Nebraska and one for Sakerlina.

That call seemed to take something out of the team.  The fans sure 
didn't bounce back.

Don't know what happened on the blocked PAT--maybe a missed cblock 
up front?  The missed FG was due to the wind--it was blowing pretty 
strong into the kick and from the left--probably about 45 degrees.

Thanks for the positive thoughts, and best wished for you too!
