EVERYBODY uses this excuse, and it's highly inaccurate. His most costly interceptions of the games he played in were when we had a very comfortable lead on CU, and his picks gave them a fighting chance.The only reason he threw so many interceptions last year, which is one of the the faults his critics like to point out, is because the Huskers were playing catch up and Callahan had him putting the ball in the air the entire game.

Not to nitpick, but Joe Ganz's first pick against CU came when you were ahead 35-31 at the start of the second half. A four point lead with the entire second half to play is hardly comfortable, especially with a defense like you had last year.

Wrong. We were up 35-24. Then, first nebraska drive of the second half, on third and long, Ganz throws a pick six, which THEN makes the score 35-31, like you said. Next drive, next Nebraska play in fact, he throws another one. Led to another score, and Colorado didn't look back.
Edit: And sure, an 11 point lead still isn't all that much, but it was that in addition to the fact that the second half completely belonged to Nebraska and we were rolling on Colorado before that second half.
You're right, but that just brings me back to the point of why the hell were we throwing the ball all over the place to begin with? A team can't throw the ball 70% of the time, which we did @ Kansas & Colorado, and expect the defense to not be keying on the pass.EVERYBODY uses this excuse, and it's highly inaccurate.

Here is the drive chart from that game. Note the two 5 yard penalties just before the INT. Took a 3rd-2 to 3rd-12 from the Nebraska 9. Old Callahan was always going for it. Considering the game situation, a QB draw should have been the call. However no excuses for the next interception on 1st-10 from the Nebraska 36.Wrong. We were up 35-24.

Herbstreit is probably scared of bo because bo didn`t like whiners and sissy boys in college either.Also, Pelini and Herbstreit both played at OSU.
