Texas at number 3? no, no, not this year

I'd have to say yes and no. Yes it was a shock, and yes it did change the direction, but the baylor game wasn't mind blowing either. But I think it truly started going up against Oklahoma and needing to be completely safe, or there is no way we would have won that game. I wouldn't exactly call the ground game against the Sooner D "power" either.

Since these rankings really don't mean too much beyond hype.... I love it!, bring on some national hype for the Huskers.

Heya, another australian here. I download all the games and extras, i get them a day late but i get them. If i'm itching for it i'll stream live but i prefer the HD torrents i get. Not to mention i can save the games themselves for a 6pm start after uni or whenever i feel like it. Great for watching games this far away and having them forever as well. Hopefully we will be BCS or NC bound this year and the night games are broadcast around 10am, there is a great pub in Sydney Eastern suburbs that hosts all the major college and NFL games. The Light Brigade Hotel on oxford st. A lot more fans of college and NFL here than you think... I myself was born in Lincoln, dad got a scholarship to NU moving from Sydney, met mom, i arrived, then we moved to Byron Bay where i grew up. Went back to Lincoln every year for some of our summer (your winter) until i started senior high school. Grandpa and Uncle got me hooked on the Huskers since i had a big N hanging on my crib. University of Sydney now and still a die hard Husker. End of life story.

I'm not 'worried' about the defense either, i just want to see it be "better than last years." That would be an exciting thing to look for. Offensively, I personally will be looking mostly at play calling. It was fun to watch and effective during the bowl game, more of that. Add a little hard-nose on the side.

Have a returning QB to either junior or senior, we've got that, but he needs to prove himself after this recovery period. I think he can.

Yes. A mindset that has been missing, the numbers and stats people are looking for will follow.. Kind of what i got from "Nebraska is back."

Couldn't have said it better. I usually go for underdogs in games i don't care about, but after the first 3 quarters i just simply lost my ineterest. I think the Boise D did best out of any group in the game, but then again, the TCU offense wasn't exactly firing on all cylinders. I think after the game one of the defenders of Boise said they practiced swarming to the ball more and that's one reason why they were successful. I'd love to match up the Huskers with Boise, we'll show you a swarming defense.

That. And way fewer holes in the secondary when we circle 7 and rush 4.

I'm watching the Fiesta Bowl and i'm not very impressed; was wondering where the 09 huskers would have lined up. May admit i'm not a fan of either of these teams and not too sure about the conference strength of each, but do you think the huskers would have done well here? i do.

don't think there is a problem at all.

Bo chewed his own brother's ass for a td at the end of the CU game that had no impact on the outcome of the game. I find it real hard believe this guy considers the bowl an exhibition-game. He hates to lose. haha, his head nearly popped off as they walked off the field.

Every game is important. And it's a bowl game, not a friendly exhibition.

Addressing offensive position players, Watson noted that I-back Roy Helu Jr. was feeling "fresh, he feels healthy and is having good practices." Watson also added that freshman quarterback Cody Green will have a place in the Huskers' game plan against Arizona. "He is going to play. We want him to have an opportunity to play and looking into the future, a chance to set up the competition. There is a place for him to play in this game and we want him to move forward and evaluate him in a game situation against another good team like Arizona." ----- Sounds interesting, i hope he does play a bit, i need something new to watch on offense. It's a good time to be deciding whether he's the future or not i think, the defense will do their job as always, he just has to step up and show people he can do something.
