[Husker] How bad is OU?

[Mike Jaixen]

There are a lot of similarities between this year's
Sooners and the 2002/03 Huskers.  They are replacing a
Heisman Trophy winning QB, as well as having a very
young inexperienced team.  In addition, they also are
suffering from having a washout year in recruiting;
half of their 2003 signees are now out of the program.
  (Like the 2000 and 2001 Husker recruiting classes,
it doesn't matter what Rivals says when players get
hurt, transfer, don't pan out, etc.)
