[Husker] positives to take away from today's game

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

I don't think that going 4-8 has anyone to do with the talent level on 
this team. It's not about size, speed, strength, talent. 

It's about will, heart, teamwork. They lost it somewhere along the way. 
That's probably Bill Callahan's biggest sin of all. 

All those stars you get when you recruit someone? You can't rely on them, 
but you can't entirely discount them either. 

Other thing is, Frank's teams were built more for the option. We now have 
players that are built towards more of a passing offense. That's a good 
thing. Gives the next coach more options (pun intended).
