Just a quick stat to chew on as Nebraska continues through a bye week and prepares for the Sept. 27 game with Virginia Tech: The Huskers are just 6-4 since 2002 in games where they didn't play the previous Saturday.

Six of those 10 games involved the open date before NU played its regular-season finale vs. Colorado. Nebraska was 3-3 against the Buffaloes in those day-after-Thanksgiving games.

The others?

NU beat Iowa State after a bye week in 2005; beat Kansas in 2004; won at Southern Mississippi in a Thursday night game in 2003; and lost at Iowa State in 2002.

For the most part, i always thought Cally did a good job in games after bye weeks. The offense usually seemed to be clicking better in those games. Hopefully the same holds true for Watson.

Little did we know though that even the nobody schools would be beating Michigan...so that wasn't that big of a stretch.

As far as Colorado goes...when has there ever been any consistency with that outfit?

And...No way in Hell have I ever loved Callahan...that would just be too...gay!!

Someone needs to dig up the article written by i think the LJS right after he got fired, it had the 10 best and 10 worst moments with Cally. While the worst did outweigh the best, you can't deny that the best were pretty good, and have helped us now.

One of them was preparing about the bye week, they had some solid examples too.

 
NE State Paper

The opening drive against Auburn:

Callahan doesn't need to audition for jobs during some teleconference; his 15-play, 80-yard, seven-and-a-half minute symphony - against a defense that punished LSU and Florida - does the job just fine. It actually covered 95 yards if you count Maurice Purify's personal foul penalty, and it included many of Callahan's staples: Power running, screen passes, precision routes, hot reads. Just a flawless script. Again and again, Callahan has shown that, if he has time to prepare and a match up to exploit - in that case it was the Tigers' up field pursuit - he'll devise an initial plan to score points. Adjustments are a slightly different story, but if you ever questioned Callahan's sheer acumen for offense, that one sequence dispelled it.

yeah, but the guy couldn't coach or call an entire game.......and had no clue about defenses. would maybe have been a pretty good assistant, but that's about it......no imagination, could never make half time adjustments.
