If Lee isn't healthy we are in trouble

jerryworld is close enough to a home game for you....we will see you there....if you make it. the question is, if you make it. yall still have to play mighty iowa state!!!! lol!!!! Your road to the title game is even tougher considering you have to play the super tough Kansas State Wildcats

Or a simple Suh Big 12 CCG highlight reel will do. Wasnt that the game nebrasska lost because they didnt have any offense, and choked at the end? help me remember!! We choked? At the end of the game Texas had some of the worst clock management I've ever seen.

Personally I try to go off of what the rankings and things say about us when I try to determine how good we will do and so far most rankings have us in the top 10 and Vegas has us with the 3rd best odds at winning the title. So I think there is plenty of reasons for optimism about us being better.

I don't necessarily think we need to win the national championship for the order to be restored. I think several highly successful seasons would restore the order for me.

Really? What great or even good defense did that team beat? Missou? Oklahoma? When it comes down to it Callahan/Watson offenses have lost to every great defense they ever played. Even the bowl game how many times did Nebraska have to settle on a FG? I'd take a 12th ranked offense over 99th It's not hard being 12th when you havent played anyone. Look at the OU game where NU stats look great, but the game was over before the second quarter. There used to be a guy on the radio who kept stats of NFL games where A team that had a QB throw for more then 300 yards would most likely be on the losing end compared to team that had a 100 yard rusher. The reasoning is that the team that's behind throws every down and take more chances because they have no choice and are compiling yards between the 20's Remember a decade ago NU played a team that had a receiver catch a ungodly amount of yards against NU in Lincoln. The Bulldogs, behind the explosive combination of quarterback Tim Rattay and wide receiver Troy Edwards, closed the Husker lead to 35-21. Edwards set an NCAA record with 405 yards on 21 catches, while Rattay completed 46 of 68 passes for 590 yards. Edwards' receiving yards broke the previous NCAA mark of 363 yards held by UNLV's Randy Gatewood against Idaho. Edwards' 21 catches were two shy of Gatewood's NCAA record 23 receptions. NU had a 35-6 halftime lead and the game was over so did those stats mean anything? I'm betting they finished in the top 15 that year to. Stats do not tell the whole story Yes, we understand that, and thank you for the anecdote, but you're lying if you say you wouldn't prefer the 08 offense over last year's. Their really the same offense and your lying to yourself if you think the outcome against Texas or V tech would have changed if Nebraska still had Ganz at the helm last year since they both had great defenses. I'm willing to say the Iowa State game would have been a win. Texas Tech? probably same outcome. Remember Ganz scored more td's against the NU defense then any opponents QB. Honestly if we had Joe Ganz I think we almost definitely win those games and maybe we are in the National Championship. With so many close losses having a QB like Joe Ganz would have made a big difference. Look at the stats between him and Lee. There is no comparison.

Why is Baylor's only 11th when they have to play at TCU? I know the rest of their schedule is weak but I would still I would move them up to 4th just for that game.

Yeah I agree. I think it's more of a statement that we have great fans than that our fans are better than everyone else's.

With a QB like him our chances at a National Title have skyrocketed

Lol yeah I agree. LSU had terrible clock management in that Ole Miss game.

Could they be sued for copyright or something?

Wow that is hilarious.

Wow cool story. It's nice to know that we have players like Prince on our team.

Sorry that this was a little complicated. I meant for the BCS game not to be the National Championship since if it was it would be the easy pick. I also meant that this was on the assumption that we played in all 3 of those games and none of the outcomes affected how we did in the other games. Like us losing to Texas would have no affect on whether or not we beat OU.

I'd go with Black for road games against teams who wear red. We are the Big Red and wear it for home games but I like the idea of wearing black to stick out.

What game would you most like to see us win in our last season with the Big 12?

I hope it's a later game. I think those are better to watch and to go to.

Their formula is obviously flawed if it ranks the 95 huskers at 47. Looking at some of the other rankings it seems that several other teams on the list were over-ranked or under-ranked.

I think Martinez might get some playing time but I see Lee as the starter. I think the most interesting competition will be between Burkhead and Martinez for playing time.

I went with considerably better because Roy is more experienced and I like Burkhead a lot more than I liked Q.

I think the article was a little too critical of Green but I kind of agree with it. I think Green could develop into a good QB but I'm not real sure about him.

i predict crick will be rated more valuable than paul. I think so too but that's only if he stays for his senior year. I'm worried that if he's a top 10 pick this year that he might enter the draft.

Good for Prince. It's also nice to see Niles Paul on the list. Niles Paul also got voted as the number one senior WR by Gil Brandt. Link

Nebraska has had 11 undefeated seasons.
