THE IOWA
STATEMENT
For the Iowa State Cyclones, playing the Huskers in
Lincoln Saturday was like a visit to your proctologist-you know you have to
go, you don't look forward to it, it may be painful
and you'll be glad as hell when it is over.
PLAIN VANILLA
Everyone knew the Huskers would beat
the depleted 'Clones. Even the Iowa State players knew
it. Did Solich call off the dogs out of courtesy for Iowa State head Coach
Dan McCarney? Probably. Did he call off the dogs to rest his team
and give more experience to the back-ups? Yup. Was it a good idea to
do so? Yup again. Did Solich keep the game plain vanilla so as to
not tip his hat for this week's Texas game? Probably.
SLEEP
OVER
Joe Dailey entered mid way through the 2nd quarter
and stayed until late in the 4th quarter. His performance was okay.
He operated much of the 2nd half with an offensive line, that if you didn't have
a program, you wouldn't have known who they were.
(Hamm at center?!!!) The dogs were
called off on defense, too. So what the fans saw
was a boring, watered-down, diluted second half Husker performance that
could have doubled as a Sominex commercial.
The only suspense was to see if the Huskers could
preserve their shutout.
SHELL GAME
Even the attempt to get "The Wave" going a second
time proved futile. There just wasn't enough energy or
enthusiasm.
This was a game that if you shelled out 30 buckos
for a PPV broadcast, or if you forked over $42 for a game ticket, you probably
were thinking of all the yard work you could have been doing instead of sitting
at this crummy game.
But the Huskers got out of the game just
what they wanted. The Huskers:
Got a win.
Got a shutout.
Had no new injuries.
Advanced in the polls.
Will have a probable top ten BCS
ranking.
Not a bad day's work.
HOOK THEM
HORNS
This is the week the Huskers will be preparing for
the Texas Longhorns. Nebraska has only one win in Austin in this series
and is 1-4 since the series renewed in '96. Needless to say, this is a
HUGE game for the Huskers. Be sure to email Husker Dan your thoughts on
this week's showdown with the Texas Longhorns. Which team will win and why
do you think they will win?
Send your predictions to Husker Dan at [email protected]. Be sure to include
your name and town. The best responses will be posted later this week in
this column. Thanks.
