LINCOLN -- It's the home finale for Nebraska and the Cornhuskers find themselves in a most unusal situation heading into today's game against Kansas State. Not only is NU looking to snap a five-game losing, but needs a win over the Wildcats to avoid having a losing home record for the first time since 1968.

There are several other subplots to today's game. It's the last home contest for 29 Nebraska seniors and could very well be the last hurrah here for coach Bill Callahan and his coaching staff. Plus, here's guessing one or two Husker fans will remind Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman of his recruiting flip-flot as he spurned NU to become a Wildcat. Should be interesting.

The picks:
--Terry Douglass, sports editor: Kansas State, 41-24
--Kevin Schuster, sports writer: Kansas State, 38-31
--Brian Ayers, sports writer: Kansas State, 49-20
