This is when I feel bad for our guys and wished they had a bye week after the game.  To enjoy and experienced Ireland.  

Huskers arriving one day earlier doesn't sound like a big advantage either.  But I am sure it will help some.

Hopefully if NW comes out in an odd man front we don't have to throw half the playbook out the window...

That's why Whipple is here.  He's had experience handling trick plays like that.  Expect more Shamrocks and Shenanigans from Fitzgerald on Saturday.

Again, something that people try to make a huge deal out of that was really nothing.

They didn't know if they'd run a three-man front or a four-man front, so they prepared for both.  When they found out which one it was, they used the part of the playbook that was prepared for the front that they were facing.

What did you want them to do?  Run plays that were not designed to work against what the defense was doing?  Flip a coin and only prepare for one of the fronts and hope they were right?
