Beating Colorado handily at Boulder is not exactly small change. And 
the Huskers were 10-3 for the season as compared to 7-7 the previous 
year.

I'd call that righting the ship.

For once we can agree, Sweet Sioux. For reasons probably none of us 
are aware of, Pederson had placed a target over Solich's heart long 
before the final firing.

However, Pedersen didn't realize that he was also shooting himself in the foot.
