I think it was just good athletic players not letting Taylor Martinez get into space. This requires superior athleticism no doubt, but Nebraska has its share of athleticism. If they did have 64 yards in the second half, then they got 190 in the first half. What was the difference? They could do respectably against "speed" and then they couldn't?

Yep...that was it exactly...they couldn't.

Nebraska was having trouble giving their QB time...the coverages tightened up and the speed of the front line was giving the Huskers problems when they thought that had to pass to catch up.

When you get sacked five times in the second half, it puts you at a disadvantage.
