[Husker] A breakdown of the NU vs MU debacle

[Mike Jaixen]

>From what I've seen, I question how you could predict a loss to Colorado when you also are predicting a victory over Kansas?  Colorado has an impressive home win over West Virginia, but that's it.  They got shelled by Florida State and Texas (at home).  They nearly lost at home to 1-AA Eastern Washington.

I rate them as follows:
Likely losses:  @ Texas Tech, @ Oklahoma
Toss Ups:  @ Iowa State, Kansas
Should Wins: Baylor, @ Kansas State, Colorado

Win one of the toss up games and the three shoulds, you've got a 7-5 season which, while disappointing, is an improvement over 2007.
