Week 1 left a sour taste in everyones mouth.  Thought Nebraska would be the favorite by most publications.  It will be a long year if we don't take care of Colorado.

We will take care of Colorado. I am not worried.

Now THOSE are the Buffs that rocked and rolled throughout the first half of last season. WR Laviska Shenault only caught three passes against Colorado State, but he scored. QB Steven Montez missed a few key throws, but he was good enough, and the offensive line destroyed the Ram defensive front as Alex Fontenot ripped off 125 yards and three scores. Can the defense hold up if Nebraska’s offense wakes up? The Huskers were tentative, ineffective, and shockingly ineffective against South Alabama, coming up with just 276 total yards, averaging just 2.2 yards per carry, and getting next to nothing out of Adrian Martinez. The firepower is there, but it didn’t show up against USA. Now it has to prove it can keep up in a shootout. 

This is what concerns me after USA. If the offense wasn't just mysteriously "off" for some reason, we could get blown out.

Dang some high scores!

I am starting to think that this might not be that close of a game.

I got Colorado winning by 6

Sorry but the poor showing against a lesser opponent, not practicing hard last week and the line inconsistency is giving me flashbacks to what has plagued this football program for over a decade

Maybe if I parlay Colorado to win it will be enough mojo to get us a win

So, poor practicing last week overshadows great practicing this week by all accounts?

This is a tried and true strategy that has worked well for me over the years (not so much for my bank account).  Though last week it didn't motivate them to demolish South Alabama, so maybe I've lost my bad luck mojo...

Totally believe it was an aberration. Huskers win and cover....

 

[CapoValley]

I’m actually surprised at the disparity.

Well that, and scared. A lot of people earlier this week were all in on Nebraska covering.

Talk is cheap

Every year we hear the same old BS (We had a great week of practice or we made some mistakes and we’ll get those corrected for nexts weeks game but nothing gets fixed, etc). 

All fall camp we’ve been hearing how hungry this team is and how hard they’ve been practicing and then to come out and play like dog poop against South Alabama is embarrassing. It’s the same ol’ tune we’ve been hearing for how many years with how many different coaches? 

Im tired of all the talk. It’s now time to walk the walk.

A week ago (and most of the offseason) I was confident we'd blowout the Buffs.  Now I'm just hoping we can squeak out a win.  I think it means a little more to us western Nebraska guys.  I definitely care a lot more than this game than I care about Iowa.

Western Nebraska or Western, Nebraska?
