Dr. Tom has also encouraged fans to wear black in Madison. http://sports.omaha.com/2011/09/15/paint-it-black-sea-of-red/

This is just smoke that leads to nohing. Texas has only shown interest in the PAC, ACC, and going Indy.

I don't think Nebraska has had the tougher schedule. Fresno St. And Oregon St. average out to be equal sure. But no way UTC and ULV are on the same level.

Is this assuming Dennard doesn't play? If he plays, there is absolutely no way Bo gives up 35. Even if he doesn't play, this is still Bo Pelini's defense. He doesn't give up 35 points to ANYONE, let alone unranked foes in Lincoln. Last week was bad, but there were major busts by veteran players - including a handful from both David and Cassidy - those will most definitely be sured up before this Saturday. They may not be as dominant as last year, but I would hope they can be better than 35 to Washington at home. Its assuming Dennard doesn't play. If he does play, the score won't change too much, I'll knock it down to 28. Why? Its obvious that if Dennard does play, Washington won't throw his way, so his impact won't be as big as people might think. Its a positive and negative thing if Dennard plays, the positive side is that Washington will more than likely run more than pass, and if they do pass Huskers should know which side the ball will go to, away from Dennard. The negative is Dennard won't see much action, so you can drop your expectations of Dennard having 2 or 3 interceptions in the Washington game if he plays. Washington knows Dennard and what he is capable of, they won't throw to his side very often.

Im going to go ahead and make my prediction. Washington 35 Nebraska 48. I think we have a slow game to start out the first quarter, we go into half time either tied or down. 3rd quarter we start seeing flashes of the offense and take the lead only to have Washington battle us out in an offensive dogfight in the 4th quarter. I think we out perform them on offense, too many good weapons on offense and with Beck making right decisions i think we seperate ourselves in the 4th for the win. Defense may look a little sloppy still, but it will be adequate enough keep Washington at bay. They will kill us through the air, putting up somewhere around 275 to 325 passing yds against us, but i think the Blackshirts will hold strong in Redzone defense to keep them out of the endzone.

As he should've. Sometimes our players drink too much big red kool-aid. As do fans.

Let me get this straight, your calling for a QB change because we didn't lock down Fresno St.? Locking down, sounds more like a defensive job, and if your trying to use the defensive shortcoming to make a change at QB, wow.

I thought it was a good analyst when i heard someone say the difference between Suh and Crick is that Crick plays more quick and shifty while Suh played more strength and power.

I would expect that since we still run the zone-read out of the pistol and are using the power option, that yes we still use the zone blocking scheme. Its quite possible that some of the new guys are having difficulty flipping the switches.

While it may have been a little harsh, I do agree with Sipple that we should temper down our expectations this year. 10 win season looks a bit hard press.

I was going to say no injuries.

Both Lou and May picked ND to win, which is why I rooted for Michigan.

I agree with Bo, you don't want your offensive lineman playing coverage on a potential return. I think if its the 4th quarter with 4 seconds left, you kick it. But it was the end of the 1st half, hail mary was the right call.

I also learned that Aaron Green and Braylon Heard didn't get any carries at all tonight, not even on special teams.

I learned that we didn't run the option very often tonight. Compared to the UTC game.

Offensively - Jamal Turner, really came through for us. Honorable - Taylor Martinez, he doesn't get the game ball because of the fumbles, but he somewhat redeemed himself in the second half. Defensively - Damion Stafford, really coming into his own Honorable - Lavonte David, thank god we have a tackler in our LB corp Special Teams - No brainer, Ameer Abdullah

Welcome to Nebraska Ameer!

They never turned around to look for the ball, that's inexperience right there.

There you go Ciante, that's how you play the pass. Where has Eric Martin been all night?

That's how you run the ball Burkhead, take that doubters!

Finally Taylor is making some good decisions.

There you go Lavonte!!!

Get em fired up Cotton!!!

Oh man, I don't know if Kinnie had possession.

We need a new nickelback, Blatchford just ain't cutting it on the slant routes. I don't know who is teaching our guys to tackle by diving at the runners legs, but that crappy teaching needs to stop.
