[Husker] Breakdown (was cupcake games / schedule)

[David Asch]

I agree.  Before the season started I broke down the schedule into  
three groups of games

The must win to maintain confidence and show progress:  The first  
three games, Baylor, KSU and ISU.

Three losses:  MIzzou, OU, TTech

Three gray games that could to either way:  Va Tech, KU, CU.


At 9-3 we would be lucky 6-6 somewhat unlucky and anything in between  
OK.
