Florida ST,  USC, and MIami have all found out.  It takes  a lot of work and probably more luck to stay on top  year after year without a letdown versus a team you should beat.  Now add to that that you can only practice 2 hours a day,  and you're trying to teach your team a complicated pro-style offense,  and you can see where the problems are for Nebraska.  although that doesnt absolve the defense of an abysmal showing.  Offenses like the one Nebraska is trying to install can take years to master.  I would like to think the Nebraska AD will give Callahan time to get it worked out,  but I doubt it.  Getting real psyched up for the Miami/Louisville game in the Orange bowl this thursday.  I'm  gonna be useless at work,  so maybe I'll just get to the field at 1pm and start tailgating.   ESPN is really hyping this game as a possible upset,  and thats their job.  But like I said in the 1st paragraph,  it is very hard to get up for every game when you're opponents are circling the game as their superbowl.  Unfortunately for Louisville,  because of all the hype,  they are not gonna come into this game under the radar.   Chris Mortensen diisin Mike Irving on Monday night countdown!  I gaurantee Irving will be on the phone all day today,  calling every current player he can reach and getting em hyped.  Can Louisville win this game?  Hell yeah, they have a good offense and a good defense.  Will they,  well w/ miami giving 10 pts,  I think I'm gonna stay away from this one.  But I'll be there screaming my head off.  And I'll get to recover in time to watch footaball all day saturday.</blockquote>
