If NU goes out and rolls UT this weekend, the hype bandwagon will be VERY full and be headed full steam ahead. If we lose this weekend, look for us to drop to 15-20 and not be spoken of much again the rest of the season. Especially if Martinez comes out flat.
I personally think we might see the best Husker team we've seen in a decade or more this weekend. When these guys (coaches on down to the players) focus on a task at hand, they look freaking good! Just look at the UT game last year, talent-wise, we had no business being in that game, but they just fought and fought and fought and played the game their coaches told them to and SHOULD have won that game. Look at the UW game and the KSU game, both times they were the sexy upset pick and they came out dialed in and completely wiped the field with both of them.
I think we're seeing the pieces fall in place with this team and this staff and I really think we could be in for a fun ride.
BUT, remember, we have a QB going through his first season at this level, there WILL BE ups and downs, no way around it. But, if the trend continues, the ups are going to GREATLY outweigh the downs!
GO BIG RED!!!
