Jim Rose, play-by-play voice for Nebraska football broadcasts, told KFAB (1110 AM) listeners early Monday morning that he liked Husker Coach Bill Callahan's conservative play-calling strategy in Saturday night's 28-10 loss to the University of Southern California.
"When I first heard early last week that they were going to play to keep the game close and get it to the fourth quarter, I thought it was a great game plan," Rose said.
But other Omaha sports talk radio hosts weren't so sure.
Matt Perrault, host of "The Big Show" on KXSP (590 AM), asked listeners how a team can go into its biggest game of the season and play not to lose.
"This sets the tone for the rest of the season," Perrault said. "If Nebraska doesn't win the Big 12 North, Callahan is gone."
"Unsportsmanlike Conduct" co-host Mike'l Severe told his listening audience on KOZN (1620 AM) that the talk behind the scenes in the Husker camp was that wide receiver Maurice Purify saw limited action in Nebraska's first two games in order to "hide" him before the USC game.
"Who are they hiding him from now? Troy State?" Severe asked.

Mike'l is one of the best sports minds in town. He should be a sportscaster at 7.
Thanks for posting, Mike'l.
But no, you shouldn't be a sportscaster at 7.
Unless Stevie P. is gone also there is no way Callahan will be fired if he doesn't win the North this year.
Now I know why I don't listen to Perrault.
That being said, the game plan kept the Huskers in it until the fourth quarter. At that point they should have opened it up more
