This game for me is the no excuses game, gotta beat a team like Maryland at the point. I assume that we will and it will make for an exciting Iowa game.
The only thing the University can control is to keep throwing money, upgrading the facilities, extending contracts to illustrate stability to recruits and players. If it goes south than another buy-out will be in order.
I'm with you, I hope the 4 stars means the kid can play along with being fast. This is part of building depth overtime, so we can have multiple guys with talent stressing the defense we have enough players so that its not incoming freshman that we are relying on for the help, and to allow for a few misses along the way.
I used to hope the Huskers can at least beat the spread. My new standard is that the other team doesn't get a chance to practice the 2nd and 3rd string when they play a Scott Frost coaches husker team.
