Texas is ripe for an upset
What's interesting is former Nebraska athletic director Bill Byrne's first choice to replace the retiring Tom Osborne after 1997 was a North Carolina coach named Mack Brown, but Osborne had already handpicked his right-hand man, Frank Solich. "If he had offered it to me," Brown said, "I would have taken it."
Fortunately, Byrne never had the chance. Today, we'll see if Bill Callahan was the right hire by Byrne's successor, Steve Pederson.
