I'm new here, but I'm extremely suprised at those of you who are saying you think Callahan called a good game, offensively. Were we all watching the same game, or...?
Sadly, the Huskers were going to lose anyway you look at it....but after they took the lead 10-7, Callahan went into his usual conservative mode, as if he hoped to run the clock out for the next 2 1/2 quarters. Then they fell so far behind (no thanks to one of the Black Shirts' worse defensive performances I have ever seen up the middle), he had to start passing on every down.
If there's one thing I've seen from Callahan during his years in Lincoln, he is scared to death to go for the jugular.
