Maclin is a sophomore, so it isn't a given that he'll be gone. 
Nonetheless, Mizzou's backup QB is a senior, so they will be starting 
over there (as will Nebraska).

Given all the work to be done in Lincoln, nine wins next year is 
extremely optimistic. The Huskers have VaT, Mizzou, KU, CU and Baylor on 
the road. KU has most of its weapons back. If CU can avoid the spate of 
injuries they ran into this year, they will be better. Baylor will be 
dangerous. OU at home will still be OU. Tech at home might be beatable, 
but still tough.

The many youngsters we will see next year will need to figure it out 
quickly. Otherwise, five or six losses is not out of the question.
