Jim Rose Season Analysis, Week 6

Hey, Nebraska football passed so much on Saturday, I can't believe we didn't see any traffic tickets!

Pass, pass and pass a little more. Did it work? Sure. 27-20 in 2 OT's baby. The Huskers are now 4-0.

Where did we miss the sign? Wasn't Bill Callahan talking a land rush on Tuesday? Grind it out, hammer the clones. Take the game, one yard at a time? Yes and no. He hinted that we might run the football but when the Big Red chewed up over 10 minutes of the first period throwing it all over the place, Coach looked at Offensive Co-ordinator Jay Norvell and said, "heck, lets not mess with a good thing."

That may or may not continue this week against the Texas Tech Red RAAAAIIIIIIIIDERS. Students of the game will convey a piercing glance into the obvious by saying, "Tech can't score if it ain't got the ball." Thank you. So, again what will the Huskers do? Now, you see the chess match that is coaching. Get Tech thinking the Big Red is going to throw it and come out with new fangled running formations. Gotta have an edge, eh?

The Techsters had an "off" day against Kansas. They won but only rolled up 300 some yards, turned it over four times and QB Cody Hodges was sacked four times. Apparently, he hurt his thumb too. Hmmmmmmmm. I like our chances.
