Foppa hit it right on the head. It looked like they were trying to punch out the ball more than trying to actaully stop the run...once they actually did catch up to the RB.
On another note about this game; we lost the momentum when they fumbled and returned it for an additional xx yards to the Husker 45. Then the long injury time out took away our momentum. Now the "if." IF we would have recovered the fumble and punched it in, It would have given us a better chance of winning. Those two incidents, that occured back to back, took the wind out of our sails regardless of the defense. IMO.
