I don't want to bore you with analysis of the letdown last night that the Huskers put on but I do want to make a few comments. First off, Nebraska just didn't capitalize on any of the breaks that were given to them. It was obvious that USC was a much better team but the game would've been completely different if they would've simply capitalized in the first half. When they were up 10-7 and on the assuing kickoff the return man fumbles and a USC guy scoops it up and goes 55 yards down field, that just took the momentum away and boosted the Trojans offense. If Nebraska pounces on that ball and scores the game is completely different. But that didn't happen and the Trojans took over the game from there. Second, Bill Callahan seemed to get away from the passing game that was carving up and through the USC defense. They went to the run and weren't getting anywhere. Third, the blackshirt defense did not know how to stop any of the freshman tailbacks that USC threw out. The holes were huge and these guys went running threw them untouched the whole game.
Another note, late in the second half after the game was out of reach and the announcers began talking about things other than the game, Kirk Herbstreit showed his top 5 college football teams. His list included USC, LSU, Florida, Oklahoma, and Penn State......PENN STATE?.! Where did these guys come from? Sure they are #12 at weeks end but better than West Virginia or Wisconsin? Come on Kirk.

Herbstreit actually picked PSU to win the Big Ten this year! Goof ball. That's alright, we'll set him straigh in 4 weeks when we invade Happy Valley and leave them seeing RED!
I'm also glad that the AP has nothing to do with the BCS anymore!
