On Tuesday, a caller to Damon Benning on the radio actually said that if the Huskers won a national championship this year, he would give no credit to SF for the achievement. His rationale is that SF was forced to change offensive staff over his objection. Therefore, if the team improves, he had nothing to do with it.
The caller did agree that any negatives should be blamed on SF though. So, at least he’s fair.
Now we won’t have to worry about a NC this year, but the call does show what SF is up against with some fans.
