[Husker] Burkes, Mendoza

[Mike and Kel]

Callahan's comments are beginning to border on bizarre. 3rd and 2 from the 4 yard line and Glen doesn't get a look. When has he ever been stopped? This guy is a great short yardage back when healthy. He deserves alot better than this. I hope the new staff appreciates him more.
