Post Gator Bowl Thoughts...

I was close when I predicted that Nebraska would win by ten points but was dead wrong by saying they would have a dominating run game. Don't be confused by a few good runs here and there by the Huskers because the Clemson defense dominated up front the entire game. The only reason the Huskers moved every now and then was because the Clemson defense was burdened with playing a little offense too. All in all this was a great win for the Husker nation and it showed the character this team has when faced with a challenge. They never gave up, even when victory seemed out of reach. What I believe won it for the Huskers this afternoon was senior leadership and a fighting spirit. They have to be feeling really good heading into the offseason after a win like that. With Mizzou losing Chase Daniel and a few others it looks like Nebraska might be the favorite to win the Big 12 North next year. That is, of course, if they can successfully replace Joe Ganz and Nate Swift. Their defense should only get better and with high school offensive studs QB Greene and RB Burkman coming in it looks like Bo will have some fresh talent ready to make a statement. One thing is for certain, I want Clemson's defense...wow.

  1. No matter how you parse it, just putting "Missou" and "losing" together in the same sentence reads like a big helping of comfort food.
