Below we'll take a glance at how Nebraska is doing in their march back to the head of school soccer. He led the Raiders to the Super Bowl after the 2002 season, but totally lost the team the next year, a season in which his players brazenly queried his competence, and was fired following the 2003 season. Callahan came to Nebraska with a group of ideology that were about as foreign to Nebraska soccer lovers as ideology can get. Callahan brought his West Coast Offense with him to Lincoln, and set about rebuilding the program in his mold. As was anticipated by many the team failed to actually have the players to fit Callahan's system yet, and the Cornhuskers endeavored to finish 5-6. It was Nebraska's first losing season since 1961, and this result failed to sit well with fans.
However, the team improved the following season, and finished 8-4. The Cornhuskers topped off their season of improvement with a dramatic win over Michigan in the Alamo Bowl. Another Progressive Step The Cornhuskers came into the 2006 season prepared to continue their climb, and fans got an early measuring stick when the team faced USC on the road.
Nebraska lost, 28-10, but it appeared to be a competitive game and showed that Nebraska had indeed been improving. As of this writing, the game in Stillwater was their last loss. Overall, the 'Huskers finished 9-3 in the regular season and won the Large 12 North division to earn a spot in the Massive twelve Championship game against Oklahoma. That equals a fast turnaround for a team that seemed to hit the very bottom only 2 seasons back. Where They Stand Now If one investigates the Nebraska program with a big-picture point of view, it appears that Nebraska is on the way, but not all of the way back to their level of dominance from up to date seasons.
