The losses to ISU and TT last season were the most painful, IMO, and I 
am very curious to see how this team (including coaching staff) 
responds, at home, to those opponents.  I will be travelling to Lincoln 
(from FL) for the TT game so I am definately interested in that game.  
In fact, I'm excited about this season and will buy the PPV broadcast of 
Maine if available.  Here are some things I will be watching for this year:

1.   Has Callahan and company devised a better system to get the plays 
into the huddle than having the QB run to the sideline between plays.

2.   Will the defense return to aggressive play or will they be content 
to play the CB's 10 yds off WR's in 3rd and 5 situations.

3.   Will the coaching staff make adjustments (successfully) during the 
game to counter the opponents strategies?

4.  Will Callahan's offense take advantage of opposing defense 
weaknesses or will it continue to "take what it wants"?

5.  Will the fullback get any rushing attempts this year?
