kansas husker Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Texas has 10,000 times the offense we do. Well heck, "everybody" has 10,000 times the offense we do. I guess that's why NU fans love SW so much. It will take a miracle to beat Texas and a very low scoring miracle it would be. Any chance you can get to take a shot at wats huh? Quote Link to comment
bdubb75 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I think the difference is Texas has big play makers. They have guys that can change the game with one big play. That and our offense is very inconsistent. The combination makes us the easy underdog. I see the game starting out close but ending in UT's favor with the following score: 17-10 at the half, 35-10 final. Winning the Big 12 North is a big thing for us considering a few years back, we were allowing people to hang 50 and 60 points on us. I think we are on the right track and with a few more years under Bo's belt, I think we can balance the Big 12 again and eventually win another Big 12 Championship. I'm hopeful but it is down the road, not in the Big 12 Championship game. Also, I think the Colorado game will be a big game for us. If we can beat them, I think it will propel us into the Big 12 title game but if we lose, we may limp in and look dismal. Nonetheless, GO BIG RED!!! Quote Link to comment
At32 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The QB position. Texas has a much better QB in Colt McCoy. NU needs a good showing from our defense to win the football game. Final Score? NU 24 UT 17 Yeah right texas has a 100 x better offense then us in all positions. Quote Link to comment
Billyball Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 You mean other than offense defense and special teams where does Texas outshine us? Don't know, think the cheerleaders are pretty much even, The Tejas gals have something wrong that causes their forefinger and little finger to stick out a lot. Kinda deformed hand look. But the players on the field for the Tejas crew are pretty damn good. It will take a huge letdown on their part and much better than the best we''ve played all season for it to be close going into the 4th quarter. Quote Link to comment
strigori Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 If you do a breakdown position by position, there are only three positions where NU has an advantage over UT. QB - Texas O - line - Texas WR - Texas RB - even TE - even D - tackles - NU D - ends - Texas LBs - Texas Corners - even Safety - even Kicker - NU Punter - NU Looks like a hard hill to climb. McCoy doesnt scare me nearly as much as Shipley does, I think the whole game hinges on how he plays. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Kicking will be big in this game because of Shipley Quote Link to comment

Texas' tight end has only six receptions all year from what I could find... So there's 4 for Nebraska. Quote Link to comment

So there's 4 for Nebraska. i would say nebraska has a head coaching advantage. frankly, i have never been impressed with brown's coaching ability; for all of his talent, he should be in the national championship every year, or darn close. he only has 1 national championship and that was largely because of Vince Young, not because of coaching. his poor coaching explains why OU almost beat them this year. also, NU always plays UT tough, i think it is because Brown has a very uncreative, almost one dimensional, offensive. hopefully it is a good game, which we win; that would be sweet and make all the pain of this year worth it.

I can't change your mind on whether or not you think Mack is a good coach, but at least represent the facts correctly. For starters he has never lost more than 4 games in a season...and that was his first year after taking over a 4-7 Texas team. He has rolled off 9 consecutive 10+ win seasons. I agree, I would like to see more Big 12 titles on his wall, but you can't say that he hasn't been in the mix year in and year out. He's never finished lower than 2nd in the south with a MNC caliber ou team getting the best of him for 5 straight years. Critical injuries and losing coin flips with the Big 12 gods also have played a role recently. Texas can cherry pick talent, but let's not forget who got them in that position. Quote Link to comment

Texas can cherry pick talent, but let's not forget who got them in that position. i don't think i misrepresented the facts. i've had this argument many times with friends, and they always disagree with me. he has the most talent in the Big XII and places 2nd in the South because Stoops out coaches him. i just do not think he is very impressive at calling a game that is all, for his talent, i think he should dominate everyone but OU. OU got the best of him for 5 straight years because he gets out coached. Reasonable minds can differ, and this is a good example. Quote Link to comment
accole Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 We would most likely need a defensive touchdown to win this game. Our offense simply can't produce enough to outgun McCoy and Shipley. Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I would also give us the Rb edge to... Texas run game stinks also.. Their leading rusher has 370 yard and I think only 1 of them had a 100 yard game.. Quote Link to comment
Husker4lif3 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Its a couple weeks away, but Texas is going to be one of those games where you just cant stomach to watch it after half time, maybe not by the score but by the play calling. If watson plays this game not to get blown out, then we can call for his head. McCoy wont throw 5 picks, and he will move the pocket (clearly NU's weakness). I watched him once live this year, and he really isnt all that impressive. He isnt the same Colt that will run wild and play his style. Their O-line isnt all that great though.. But i just hope we play with nothing to loose on offense and hope we never see an option play as long as Lee is at Nebraska Quote Link to comment
epocSoN Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QB, WR, O-Line is where they outshine us. If I was forced to pick a winner... putting my husker blood aside, I would pick Texas. But we have a very real chance to upset the BCS lovers this year. Quote Link to comment
