I think a lot of Nebraska's season rests on the results of three games. First USC, early test of how good the Huskers really are. Second Missouri, clash of the number one and two in the North and three Texas, what should be the North power against the South power. Win two of those three and I would be willing to bet Nebraska is in the Big 12 championship game. Just an outsiders guess. I think there are other critical games, A&M, K-State and Kansas among them and Iowa State is a total unknown but should be improved, but I think the USC, Texas and Missouri games are the key.
Since I already have my tickets I am betting on Nebraska being in San Antonio on December 1st.
