[Husker] Somewhat Predictions

[Steven Johnson]

I agree with some of your points, Bob.  I feel we can and will beat Va Tech 
because this will be a pivitol cotest in the re-building phase.  KState, OU 
and Texas Tech on the road will be a challenge to say the least.  I think we 
can beat K. State out of those three.  I do think Bo can motivate this team 
to 8 wins.  I also think they may upset a Mizzou at home in Lincoln.  It is 
all in attitude and motivation.  It should be much more competitive.  I also 
feel we will beat KU in Lincoln.  We'll see.  I am a glass half full 
guy...so  cheers!
