[Fwd: Re: [Husker] Somewhat Predictions]

[Robert Christensen]

I agree with you that the Huskers have talent.  I think there was talent 
in place when Callahan and Crew took over the reins.  I think we should 
have known that there was a serious issue with defensive coaching during 
year one of Pederson's magical mythical experiment when the Huskers were 
embarrassed in so many games.  I know a lot of fans wanted to believe in 
Callahan but it wasn't to be.

I'm not sure what the win-loss ratio will be this first year with 
Pelini, but I would bet that we don't get 70 points hung on us, and I do 
believe we will be in every game.  Maybe this time around I want to 
believe in Bo and company.
