[NU Sports] Temple - no Bowl bid

[Tom Maycock]

The bowl matchups do seem particularly disappointing this year (or do I say that 
every year?). The BCS games

Yep. Man, that whole deal is just ridiculous. Sure, Nebraska could have avoided 
the whole problem if T-Mac gone into deer/headlights mode or, better yet, if the 
Nebraska coaches had been a whole lot smarter (QB is getting completely 
flummoxed by blitzes, but Burkhead in the Wildcat is working great--so what 
should we do on the last drives--yep, put the QB in and try to pass. Argh). 

Boy do I wish they would have let Henery try that kick on the next to last 
drive. Based on his two previous kicks, he had 70-yard range. I'm not sure 
Nebraska would have fared well in OT, but they should have had the chance. 
Henery is as good at what he does as any college player I've ever seen.
