Gameday report and stats
Wally's view from the cheap seats:
Man, woman and child what a season! And Nebraska looks to be even better next year.
I predict that Eric Crouch will be garnering Heisman Trophy consideration before
his
career at Nebraska is finished. The Cornhusker offense is a thing of beauty when it
is clicking on all cylinders. Some might find the running game boring, but not those of
us who can appreciate the intricacies of the Husker offense. And what more can be said
about the Blackshirts? The NU defense has turned conditioning and weight training
into a fine science. These guys are a lean and mean QB crunching machine. This is
Charlie McBride's legacy. Enjoy retirement in the desert, Charlie. You deserve it.
Keep those cards and letters coming! See you all next season.

Wally's view from the cheap seats:
All you Solich bashers can just kiss my rosy red Big 12 Championship
trophy.
The man wins 20 games quicker than LEGENDS Devaney and Osborne, wins 11 with
an average offense and no dominant I-Back, takes the Huskers to Tempe for a
chance to end up #2 in all the land and people keep on whining. Enjoy this season.
We may have witnessed the best Blackshirt defense EVER. Bar none. Give the
man his due, will ya? We had a let down in Austin but Frank Solich has yet to
commit one fumble this season. There is one game left so I hope I don't have
to eat my words. Congratulations to the seniors, to coach Solich, to Charlie McBride
and every single Cornhusker player on a fantastic 1999 season. And I tip my glass to
all the Husker fans - the classiest and most knowledgeable football fans in the country.
We're feasting on a Bevo roast! Enjoy the sun in Tempe and beat the Tennessee Vols! GBR!

Gameday report and stats
Wally's view from the cheap seats:
My Mother always said that if I can't say something nice I shouldn't say anything at all.
So I'm just going to remain silent on this one. Looking forward to a rematch in December.
Texas is not a better team than Nebraska but they played like it on Saturday.
Hooked us 3 times in a row. I was hoping for a Bevo roast and all I get is sour grapes.

Wally's view from the cheap seats:
The Big Red machine was running on all cylinders tonight! Offense, defense, special teams, play calling -
it all came together in an impressive display of power football.
Eric Crouch's performance was worthy
of Heisman Trophy consideration. Where's my ballot?
We're movin' on up in the polls - bring on UT!

Wally's view from the cheap seats:
Is there a chink in the armor of the mighty Blackshirts? It seems the Huskers were
satisfied with the 31-0 halftime lead and decided to take the rest of the afternoon off.
Where is that killer instinct? Nebraska had their prey right where they wanted them and
let them off the hook. Luckily, the Oklahoma State Cowboys did not have the talent or
determination to make the Cornhuskers pay for their 2nd half nap. The game lasts 60 minutes.

Gameday report and stats
Wally's view from the cheap seats:
The Husker offense should have their pictures on the side of a milk carton because they turned up missing today.
This game was ugly. Both teams combined for 11 turnovers, but without them this would have been a scoreless tie.
NU set another home attendance record with 77,826 Husker fans on hand to watch the debacle. Give the Golden Eagles
their credit due- they are a solid top 25 team who came to Lincoln ready to play football. Anyone seen NU's offense?

Wally's view from the cheap seats:
Forget the QB controversy. After Crouch's performance today we may have a split end controversy!
The Husker Blackshirts were impressive again this week and defended exceptionally well against a good passing team.
The Huskers set a home attendance record with 77,617 fans packed into a newly renovated Memorial Stadium.
Now there is a record that will last about as long as a T-bone on the Cornhusker training table!

Wally's view from the cheap seats:
The quarterback controversy is alive and well in Lincoln! Eric Crouch was outstanding in
leading the Huskers to victory and Bobby Newcombe showed flashes of greatness as well.
This year's Blackshirt's may be the finest defensive team Nebraska has fielded in 20 years.
This probably should have counted as a home game for the Cornhuskers
considering the throng of Husker fans that showed up at Kinnick Stadium!
