OK, I know I'm not longer in Husker country, so perhaps I'm out of the loop, but can someone tell me why the Huskers got rid of Frank Solich again? If we wanted lackluster, predictable play calling, Steve Pederson could've saved Husker fans a lot of stress and aggrevation. You didn't need to be Pete Carroll last night to know that the Huskers were going to run the ball on first down. For one brief drive, Callahan broke out of his rut and the Huskers threw the ball downfield with some success. Why did it take so long?
I thought the players played well and they have nothing to be ashamed of. I just wish the coaches would've given the players a chance to win the game.

Remember what Eugene McCarthy said about coaching football? "You have to be smart enough to understand the game and dumb enough to think it's important." Then again, he actually said this while comparing coaching football to running for the presidency.
I can completely understand Callahan wanting to control the clock. In fact, I thought it was too bad we didn't have the option game to eat up clock like we used. But isn't there supposed to be a lot of short, controlled passing in the west coast offense. That's essentially the same as a run and it would've kept the defense guessing a little more. Oh well, at least we get to bounce back against Troy St. on Saturday.
