Last Saturday’s tilt against the Buckeyes was defined by largely by one thing, athletes. Just as Tom Osborne once said “it’s not game plans, it’s athletes” at half-time of the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, Saturday night was about athletes once again, with Nebraska on the other side of that coin for the second year in a row against the Buckeyes. This talent disparity was particularly evident in comparing the Husker line play on both sides of the ball with the Buckeye line play. This talent disparity, punctuated by being a developmental work in progress, had a direct implication upon how the Husker offensive brain trust elected to attack the Buckeye secondary.
