Sometimes it's relaxing to reflect on life, especially when the here and now is, well, a bit uncomfortable due to a worldwide pandemic.

Think back to just more than a year ago, when Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos interrupted our relatively sleepy summer with a zinger of a comment. Asked if he had a number in mind that would represent a successful Husker football season, he said, "We really need to get to six (wins)."

At the time, Moos' statement raised eyebrows. Just six wins? Really? That's all? Really? After all, many prognosticators were picking Nebraska to win the Big Ten West Division and finish in the national top 25.
