[Husker] A little more respect from Vegas

We may not have even garnered a single also ran vote in the coaches poll, 
but Las Vegas seems to have taken notice.  Last week we were just a 6 1/2 
favorite over Wake.  This week we're a full 10 point favorite over Pitt, a 
team who still ought to be considered better than Wake.

In other words, Vegas doesn't seem to think the win over Wake was 
insignificant.  I would have never imagined we'd go off as a 10 point 
favorite over Pitt when the season started.  The preseason consensus was 
that Pitt and OU were almost certain losses.   Now I'm not so sure.

At this point I'm thinking Iowa State and Texas Tech and the road trip to 
Colorado are probably our toughest challenges.  We ought to know a lot 
about this team after the next 3 games.
