Goal number one should be to win the sixth game to make the team bowl-eligible.

A winning record is always nice!

I suggest we "think small" for the moment. It seems to me that the 
Huskers can beat the Jayhawks in Memorial Stadium if they play their 
best game. As for K-State, in Manhatten it could go either way, but 
the Buffs game seems within reach if all goes well.
