That is funny that you mention what did you about D. Young. I think he is going to be the quietest 4 year starter ever. I think he is just a "do your job" kind of guy but nothing flashy. I think he will just be a consistent player.

I can see that. I can see a boring 35-20 type game this week.

I don't like this line right now. I would LOVE it at 20.5 but last week NU was really lucky to not let up about 10-17 more points. I do think this game could be completed in about 2.5 hours if both teams are just running

Very true! Sadly...not what we want. NU should not be the team that pulls "upsets" because they should be the hunted.

The past is NOT prologue when it comes to this team. This year's Wyoming team is head and shoulders above of last year's team. Last year's team had 17 true freshmen starters and now they come into this year with a lot more experience and confidence. The quarterback, Josh Allen, got hurt 13 plays into his first game last year. Last year was a painful learning experience for all concerned. Any Wyoming fan will tell you this is a much improved team. Wyoming played toe-to-toe with NIU and actually had the Huskies beat 27-20 with a 1:43 left in the game. A blown coverage let the Dogs tie it and put the game into overtime. Much to the Cowboys credit they fought back and eventually Allen was able to scramble away from pressure to dive into the end zone for the win. So, what does that mean for this game? Who knows? I think Wyoming is better than Fresno. Josh Allen has a much better arm than Brett Smith and is just as mobile for a 6-5, 225 pound quarterback. Wyoming has a pair of great senior receivers in Tanner Gentry (6-2, 210) and Jake Maulhardt (6-6, 230). Senior tight end Jacob Hollister (6-4, 239) reminds me a lot of former Wyoming great (and Nebraska native) Jay Novacek. And there's junior running back Brian Hill (6-1, 219) who is destined to be the greatest running back in Wyoming history. He averages nearly a 100 yards per game and is just over 400 yards from holding the all-time career record. Bottom line, I think the Cowboys will beat the 24 point spread and give the Huskers a game. Given some breaks, I think they could even win it. As they say...we shall see. Won't totally shock me if they beat NU... That scramble the QB had in OT to win it was about as lucky as one can get but it was still really cool. Riley does seem to have a very long track record of losing games that it doesn't seem like he should.

Can you break down the O-Line too?

They also went out and hired a freaking boss-ass-coach... who will likely be in Baton Rouge or god knows where this time of year next year. Certainly wont be in Houston. I did not even think about LSU...man, you might be right. I think he is from Texas so LSU would not be all that far off and lets face it...they will toss him a contract worth about 5 million a year with an asst pool of probably 4-5 million to work with. Herman has an "it" factor to him, like Meyer does...he is like a young Meyer...he just seems to make his guys believe they are going to win. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VLzJX8CRzM

I was watching the FSU and Ole Miss game last night and I was thinking how neither Nebraska or Oregon has those kind of athletes relative to the depth of Ole Miss and FSU. FSU, Bama, OSU, Clemson. Those are the teams that look it off the top of my head. The way they play. They look and play like a well oiled machine as a whole. I can understand why Phil Steele picked FSU to win the title this year. I don't think they will win but I think they are in the discussion, before last night, I thought Steele was nuts. It's not that NU can't have those athletes and rewatching the game last night NU is closer than some may think. Part of it is developing the talent into those kinds of players as well. Another note. I felt NU played much faster in every area than they did in any spot last season. Hesitation is gone from what I saw. NU is on the way up. And look what Texas did with a true frosh at QB...the guy looked really good.

What Bama looks and plays like.

Uggg, rough weekend! My locks went 1-2... Nice weekend JJ! My "locks" Lousiville -14.5 vs Cuse Michigan -35.5 vs UCF Nebraska -24 vs Wyoming Mark it down and lock it up!

11am game, probably best to leave Omaha by 7. That will roughly get you to your parking by 8 or 815. It might seem just a little dead at first but it is really cool to see the build up of fans from 8am to 9am to 10am. I wouldn't worry a lot of parking it never seems difficult to find a spot.

Check craigslist first and see if you can find a Lot 7 pass. tons of fun and close to the stadium for the most part. The pass might be like 50-100 dollars though. There are way cheaper ones like at the baseball park, I think those are 20 dollars. You can google it, but I don't remember the name of the link, sorry!

I don't know if many teams will put up more than 14 on Michigan this year.

If they keep it within 40 it will be a job well done.

Ugggg...sorry guys! I just looked past Wyoming, I was checking out the schedule to see what time the Wisconsin game was and well...I wasn't just focused on Wyoming. Probably a loss now.

Exactly! Losing tonight would not be a big deal

A: Fresno is way better than people think...Cali speed is for real B: this Husker defense is getting after it

I'm so excited for the game today!

It is a great post! We all hope Riley is the answer and we all know the saying that you get what you pay for.

Hit up Barrys instead
