LAST 13 YEAR MATCHUPS

LW Nebraska got 1 step closer to winning the North by bullying Kansas 20-3. The Huskers actually had 20-5 FD and 397-87 yd edges over the Hawks but the conservative gm plan due to QB Martinez’s not fully 100% ankle kept it relatively close. A&M meanwhile won its 3rd straight with QB Tannehill at the helm as they erased a 16 pt 1H deficit in a 42-30 win at Baylor. The Bears missed 2 FG’s, had another blk’d and missed an xp as A&M was outgained 516-423. A&M now finds themselves just 1 gm back in the South and Tannehill is avg 317 ypg (68%) with a 7-3 ratio in his 3 starts but will have a tough time here going against NU’s #1 NCAA pass eff D (140, 48%, 10-16 ratio) led by future #1 DC CB Amukamara. Nebraska clinches the North while knocking the Ags out of the South race.

 

PHIL’S FORECAST : NEBRASKA 27 TX A&M 20

Interesting to see Steele predicting against his math model, which has 28 aTm points to 21 NU points.

 

Also, I'd love to see Dennard mentioned in the same breath as Prince. No doubt Amukamara is worthy of a top pick in the upcoming draft, but Dennard has done just as much damage if not more so far this season.

Might be because he gives NU a really big advantage in special teams.

i think dennard deserves recognition... but if he isnt getting it, maybe the draft "experts" wont have him marked as a high pick so he will stay another year!
