Sports: Huskers' Season Hinges on Crucial Contests

After having been 5-1 after 6 games, in rapid succession Nebraska has gone 0-3 in its last 3 games, having culminated in a disgraceful 40-15 loss at Kansas. --------------- I do not put any of this blame on the players, who show up for practice, work hard every down and make plays. Rather, I would apportion blame for the Huskers' current problems about 70% to doofus A.D. Scott Peterson and 30% to the program's mismatch with Coach Callahan (this is not re-hashing old issues, as the debate is still relevant) ------------------------- Nevertheless, the Huskers have had some success and demonstrated their resolve during this season. For instance, they beat then-#23 Iowa State and defending Big East champion Pitt in Lincoln (don't ask the score--a sparse 7-6). Despite being a heartbreaking loss, the Texas Tech game was important because it showed that the Huskers could come from behind with their new offensive scheme. ----------------- All that remains now is Kansas State and Colorado; with just 1 more win the Huskers become bowl eligible.
