Husker Football06 Nov 2005 :: Posted by: Administrator
Another streak broken.
I’ll have to wait for the coaches show to see any of the action, but if Jim Rose’s play-by-play was anything close to accurate, every single point we brought up in our game plan was thrashed.

Update
Husker Mike was at the game and his account pretty much confirms what I expected.
- Playcalling was even more abysmal than usual. Bill Callahan decided that we needed to establish a ground game against one of the top rushing defenses in the country. And there was almost no variety in the running play; if I had a video tape, I would say of the first 10 runs, there were only 3 or 4 different plays run.
- Kansas defended us with 9 or 10 players “in the box” most of the game. However, we only attempted to stretch the defense a handful of times by sending receivers deeper than 10 yards downfield.
- Harrison Beck and Joe Ganz know that they aren’t getting into the game unless Zac Taylor is knocked out. They spent much of the first half watching the Kansas dance squad.
- Callahan might be trying to get Zac Taylor killed by leaving him in the game to get assaulted when the game is out of reach.
- The defense tried to keep Nebraska in the game today. Corey McKeon had a key interception to end a Kansas threat as well as the safety. But, they wore down, and sadly in the 4th quarter, threw in the towel. All season long many fans have raved about their “never give up” will, but today, they went to the well one too many times.
