[Husker] Well No More Congdon to Kick

[Steve]

Adi Kunalic (6'0" - 175lb) with a STRONG leg should be a suitable
replacement and Shawn Watson gets the atta'boy for his recruiting effort.

Let's hope and pray that Congdon and his family become stronger with the
transplant situation.

The Huskers have a K recruit from Fort Worth, TX, Adi Kunalic, who is said
to have a strong leg, and could help the coaches avoid some criticism next
year.  Of course, he may not pan out...
