[Husker] 12 Rules for Success and It's Very Quiet Out there

[David Elfering]

That's it in a nutshell. I can see the Huskers playing pretty darned good
ball or pretty darned bad; sometimes all in the span of 15 minutes. If they
connect all the dots they look awesome but when they misfire it gets real
ugly real quick.

I was thinking about it this morning and frankly I'm just glad its still
football season and what ever happens, happens.  Not too much can stir me
after the humiliations of a few years ago (Texas Tech will be ingrained in
my psyche forever I think).

My hope is for a well executed game. If they play up to their ability I
won't have an issue with a loss. If they crawl in a shell then, well at
least I have the Chefs to root for... oh ... snap...
