The Huskies are lacking depth on both the offensive and defensive line and it is because of that I think the Huskers will win in a close one. The Huskies will hang for the first half, possibly three quarters, but just like we did in the past, we will wear them down. The secondary contains Locker and gets the job done. It'll be close but we'll get out of Seattle with a win.
Tremendous motivation coupled with the game being in Lincoln is too much for the 'Horns this time around. We get the Texas monkey off our back.
The game I'm marking with an asterisk (*) is the road game to Texas A&M. The Aggies are getting better and College Station is always a hostile environment to play in. By the time this game is played the Aggies could have all the cobwebs cleared out and pull out a win. In the end, I regretfully think they win this one and we'll place this game in the "Games we lost, but shouldn't have" column.
I may be overly optimistic but I think 11-1 in the regular season is entirely possible. I also believe a victory in the conference championship is a strong possibility purely on the premise that "defense wins football games."
