[Husker] I thought you should see this story

[Smith, William]

It's the middle of October folks, it's college football, there's one team in the mix with a freshman QB plus an array of other potential issues... 

and I'll bet any everyone a dollar that we will not have 5 undefeated teams at season's end. (Oregon, Nebr or Okla, OSU, BSU, TCU).  Or even 4. Though three is a real possibility.
