On any given saturday, any team will beat another team now these days with the 85 scholarship limit in effect. All streaks come to an end. Just like Nebraska's 36 game winning streak against Kansas ended, so did NU's 47 home winning streak (look at my signature), so did USC's 35 winning streak end and Miami's 34 winning streak (couple of years ago) end. Teams can no longer stockpile talent upon talent like they did during the early 80's and up untill the late 90's. It's not only coaching, it also talent. Pop quiz to everyone (without looking it up), when was the last time Tennessee didn't make a bowl game? When was the last time Michigan lost 5 games in a season. When was the last time FSU lost 5 games in a season. ANYONE notice anything in those 3 teams? They ALL won National titles IN THE 90's with their current head coaches, yet they are all struggling. Again....like i said, it goes back to the 85 scholarship limit and not ONLY is NU feeling the effects of it, but so is FSU, Tennessee, Michigan, Florida. Coaching will only take you so far these days unless you manage to become a USC and stockpile talent like that year in and year out. USC and Florida have 9 of the top 100 players in the nation combined and 39 of the top 250 players in the nation. The question is, what will they do with that talent compared to the talent Callahan recruited.
