[personal] Re: Prediction (was RE: [Husker] Back-up Quarterbacks)

OK... I will be the first to say that I totally misjudged how the Huskers 
would play yesterday.  I still think they are much better than they looked. 
I didn't like the huge chunks of yardage that Wake Forest gouged out on the 
ground against the blackshirts.   Our offense looked anemic most of the day. 
It is safe to say that I  won't be on any college football prediction shows.

They either play much better next week, or it could get ugly.  I still have 
faith, but it depends on what team shows up.
