[Husker] Early line on NU-MU

[Mike Jaixen]

I think you are being rather hard on Bill Callahan all
of a sudden.  While I think that the Texas A&M game
will be a tough one to win, I still think a victory is
possible this week and at Thanksgiving against
Colorado.

The matchup problems that Oklahoma State presented
will also exist this week against Mizzou.  Chase
Daniel has run for more yards this season than OSU's
Bobby Reid, and Mike Rucker's brother Martin and his
fellow tight end Chase Coffman will present huge
matchup problems for the Blackshirts.

One huge factor is that this game is in Lincoln... in
the Callahan era, the home crowd advantage seems to be
doubled, perhaps being as much as 2 touchdowns.
