[Husker] NU/KU point spread

[Rod Wellman]

Last week I had a premonition...kind of one of those early morning  
dreams, that the blackshirts would totally shut down OU completely,  
and that we would win in a squeaker.  7-3  was my prediction.

This week, I think we roll.  Call me crazy, but I'm going with 35-3.   
Offense rolls (finally), blackshirts stuff Reesing and Co.  If it  
doesn't happen that way, that's fine with me.  I'll take a 1 point win!
