Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 328107, member: 485"] Yes, Nebraska was deemed too powerful. They were #1 in the polls, and had been for the entire previous season. SU was in rebuilding mode under Mac -- his fourth year. I believe SU started its season 2-1, but was coming off a loss at Rutgers. Mac had sharply improved recruiting (his true frosh and RF on that team were later to do big things); he had built a decent defense and had good OTs in place (Marrone was one of them). The Dome was packed and loud. Mac was a good motivator. SU won that game with defense, ball control under an experienced QB, passes to possession receivers, and some luck. Can it happen again?
