  1. Here are some stats to compare. I think we will win because of our defense. We'll have some success on offense but I don't think we'll see a lot of 30+ yard runs. Hopefully I'm wrong and there are several. Rush Defense #19 Texas: 2.63 yards/attempt, 198 yards/game #63 Idaho: 4.39 yards/attempt, 151 yards/game (360 by Nebraska) #106 Washington: 5.35 yards/attempt, 207 yards/game (383 by Nebraska) #111 Western Kentucky: 5.68 yards/attempt, 211 yards/game (289 by Nebraska) #116 Kansas State: 5.82/attempt, 246 yards/game (451 by Nebraska) Rush Offense of Texas opponents #17 UCLA: 5.17 yards/attempt, 223 yards/game (264 against Texas) #87 Oklahoma: 2.87 yards/attempt, 123 yards/game (124 against Texas) #102 Rice: 2.83 yards/attempt, 103 yards/game (88 against Texas) #103 Texas Tech: 3.52 yards/attempt, 103 yards/game (-14 against Texas) #120 Wyoming: 2.20 yards/attempt, 69 yards/game (58 against Texas) The moral of the story is, Nebraska hasn't played a good run defense, and Texas hasn't played (stopped) a good run offense.
  2. I'm not a big fan of his announcing but I've always had a soft spot for Craig James since he said he was voting for Nebraska after the Tennessee game in '98
  3. Honestly... the Big 12 Championship game last year. It already sucked losing to them by 4 points or less over and over, so the last second thing only added a little bit of annoyance. But before that, I agree with the Orange Bowl vs. Miami.
  4. They will slow it but not stop it. I think we'll have a lot more 5 yard runs and a lot less 15+ runs. Their closing speed is better.
  5. here are my thoughts. I'm worried about Texas. But we're the fans. It's the team's job not to think ahead. We can think ahead all we want. I don't want to play Boise State. That would be like a fake NCG. Few people actually think they can hang with the best teams. Give me Ohio State or Oregon or Alabama. (But I think Alabama is better than either of them so hopefully we won't get 'bama ).
  6. a: they always seem to find a way to beat us b: because they would be the worst team to lose to
  7. I won't, heh. I'm using Windows Movie Maker. A lot of the things you mentioned aren't possible with it. If I had $700 to spend on it I'd get Adobe Premium. Anyway, thanks everyone for the comments.
  8. doubt it. We have too much hype right now They'll be right behind us though.
  9. lol, I like this idea. It will keep the defense pumped up too.
  10. Their QB is obviously talented but he has terrible decision making. Every play is a rollercoaster ride.
  11. Ugh holy crap. Alabama always does this, just to spite me. I get all excited that they're going to lose and then they come back. big 3rd down now... /pray
  12. ugh, 28-21. South Carolina needs to score another touchdown on this drive.
  13. 28-14 right now, but I'm still nervous. They always seem to come back. It would be nice if someone knocked them off since I still think they're the best team even though they're losing. EDIT: Nevermind. You're all talking about ito n the Husker forum
  14. Ya, I was mad the whole time that Washington and Kansas State had the same color
  15. I might have been a tad dramatic with the beginning. I'll take it off in a week , and I swear it gets going after a minute. I also want to point out that I rarely like music in sports videos. But, every time I hear this song I think the lyrics are really fitting. So I apologize if you hate the song, but there are other plenty of other highlight videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUyfBCMC8S4
  16. I thought our schedule looked good and we had a chance to go undefeated during the regular season, but I thought our offense would still be bad and we'd win some of the games by a slim margin.
  17. and the point of your point was? I replied before I read Hercules post, so I deleted it instead of repeating him. What you said actually confirmed what I was trying to say. 4 starters in 4 years is worse than 6 in 8 years.
  18. where's the other fumble in the history video? I remember a Texas game where they were in the red zone, one of our big defensive lineman intercepted the ball or got a fumble, tried to return it, and then he fumbled the ball and Texas got it back. That was the worst loss, imo.
  19. We haven't seen him punt much either. I will never forget the punting against Texas. He should have been MVP just for that.
  20. * what the guy above said (no delete option)
  21. That was one of the things that annoyed me most about Callahan. I understand getting junior college players, but at QB it sounds like a terrible idea. Especially with a complicated offense. We had 6 QB in 8 years if I'm counting right.
  22. We are so lucky with this guy, heh. He just sort of fell out of the sky. I don't like thinking of what the team would be like without him. Okay, it would be like last year. And I'm glad Osborne lost the governor election.
