[Husker] HuskerMath - Is NU's recruiting on Solid Ground?

[RJ Wessel]

I guess I look at these seasons as "How do you feel"  I don't get caught up in a record or a stat. But I am not comfortable with the way the season went. We had break downs in many games and luckily came back to win those. In others we looked like we did not belong. There really wasn't a game this season that I felt we played a complete game. Best we could in all aspects. 

So How do I feel - probably just a cold - not the flu




yet

The poor quality of some opponents as a factor that diminishes the 
W/L record is a legitimate point, but I'm not sure I'd agree there 
are three games a year that are a complete joke.  Maybe one or two, 
and sometimes three, but we should also consider that the cupcakes 
can occasionally rise up.  I'm thinking of Appalachian State a year 
or two ago, for example.
