Nebraska is 4-2 and could very easily be 2-4 at this point.  I really 
don't see how anyone can claim that as a "great season."  A .666 winning 
percentage may be considered "good", but it's hardly great.  Futhermore, 
I believe that Nebraska will finish with a winning percentage much 
closer to .500, and that is definitely not a good mark at Nebraska.  I 
wouldn't consider the 2007 Huskers a "good" football team, and I 
wouldn't even consider the label of "great."

Callahan may have stepped up the recruiting efforts, but in 4 years, it 
has not gotten it to the point that was expected (better than Nebraska 
was in 2003).

As far as the offense is concerned, we are currently ranked 45th in 
scoring offense after the woeful performance in Columbia last night.  
That is hardly what I would consider to be a great offense.
