If you start a post about San Jose State with a title implying a case even needs to be made for why Nebraska should beat SJSU than you are drunk. You don't even need to read the post to know trhey are drunk, or maybe just not all that int-e-LECT-UHL.

I think CFN is being a bit conservative in their prediction but it's not bad

 

CFN Prediction

 

San Jose State (1-0) at Nebraska (1-0), 12:30 EST

 

Why to watch: Nebraska passed the first test in the Bo Pelini era with an impressive 47-24 win over a good Western Michigan team. The Broncos have a veteran defense that was ripped apart for 483 yards, including 345 through the air. Nebraska is hardly back to being the Big Red Machine that dominated for so long, but it was a good first step. San Jose State is going to be more than a mere layup, even if the Spartans needed a last minute touchdown pass to get by UC Davis 13-10. This a veteran, athletic Spartan team with a good defense and a veteran head coach in Dick Tomey who knows how to get a team up for a big game. There's a massive talent discrepancy, but San Jose State has just enough to make this interesting if the Huskers aren't on.

 

Why San Jose State might win: Nebraska's pass defense struggled last year, and it didn't do much to show things have changed against Western Michigan. Despite getting a steady pass rush to help the cause, the secondary still allowed 342 yards of passing offense. Granted, the Broncos were in comeback mode and had to keep throwing to stay alive, but the Spartans should be able push the ball through the air. The offense sputtered against UC Davis, but the passing game still put up 231 yards.

 

Why Nebraska might win: San Jose State couldn't handle the UC Davis pass rush, and now it's about to have a nightmare of a day. The Spartans gave up four sacks last week and struggled to keep the UCD linemen from hitting the quarterback. Nebraska was ultra-aggressive last week, cranking out four sacks and seven tackles for loss, and it should be able to get into the backfield on a regular basis. Set the over/under on 6.5 sacks; the Huskers should be able to come up with several drive-stopping plays.

 

Who to watch: It's the start of the Kyle Reed era at San Jose State. The transfer from Cal was supposed to be the main man from the start this off-season, but he suffered broken foot, got it relatively healthy, and then suffered a setback that cost him a shot at the starting job. Jordan LaSecla and Myles Eden were ahead of Reed going into last week, and they weren't bad combining to complete 12 of 15 passes for 94 yards, but they each threw a pick and didn't get the offense moving. In came Reed, who completed 14 of 18 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner. Now it's Reed's job.

 

What will happen: Nebraska won't be sharp, and the defense will show it still has a long way to go before it can be dominant, but it'll be a second straight double-digit win. It just might take three quarters to get the job done.

 

CFN Prediction: Nebraska 34 ... San Jose State 16 ... Line: Nebraska -25.5

 

Must See Rating: (5 Entourage premiere - 1 One Tree Hill premiere) … 2

the description of how the game would unfold was spot on!
