Throwing out both the eternal optimists and the forever doomsayers, it seemed to many Husker fans anything from a final record of 1-7 to 6-2 was on the table. I only scoffed at the outlandish idea that some people out there actually believed we’d play all eight games. But besides that? Sure, anything seemed plausible.
Now an 0-fer is staring us right in the face after two games and this week’s opponent, the Penn State Nittany Lions find themselves in a similar 0-3 boat. We know how we feel about it - as Husker fans, we have a solid history of losing our goddamned minds over much less than an 0-2 start.
