Hell no!!! But when I discussed the impending doom at Nubb Fatty complained that I had a one track mind (so Fatty please do not discuss Nebraska further).
However, I did expect them to be respectable in what I percieved as a below average North. Their front 4 was dominant last year and all gonzo. Their ability to keep linemen off the backers made the LB's seem almost "good"...when they are actually a very poor bunch. The DB's pretty much sucked last year and suck worse this year.
The Nubb offense has never impressed me. They had questions on the OL and they lose 1 starter (due to an impending positive roid test) to the supplimental draft just prior to the season and another in the 1st or 2nd game of the year. Not good for them at all. Nubb fans had Keller as an early Heisman candidate, but I pointed out on this board he had a total of 4 wins in a 4 year career, which it appears few were aware of. Husker Hype at its most obvious. Lucky tried to kill himself during the summer....always a good start to the season for your #1 running back. Purify had legal troubles and has had family tragedy since.
All signs were pointing towards a collapse, but when the competition is Pinkel, ku, two 2nd year coaches and a 1st year coach it isn't terribly difficult to expect at least marginal success.
