Well I just wasted 30 minutes of my life.

 

Ill say the same thing i knew before i read this:

 

-NU is a 17 point favorite

-We have motivation this time, thanks to people like you now thinking you have a chance

-The game is in OUR house

-You lost a "First Round Worthy" quarterback that at this time last year, when you guys showed actual potential, was getting national hype

-This year, you have a running back and a weak passing attack. Easy to key in on.

-We won't keep running the same play this year if you sell out on it like in the Holiday bowl

-Nebraska has actual skill and speed players this year, and ones you have almost zero film on

-We're still a top ten team... in the country. UW is barely top ten in the Pac-12.

 

It is thanks to the numerous Husky fans who have your exact same attitude that Nebraska is going to come out like it's the conference championship game.

 

Huskies won't just limp our of lincoln, they'll crawl out. :box

 

In this game we have two 2-0 teams who have not looked as impressive as the fans would have liked. I am baffled how Washington fans seem to think that losing Locker is actually an upgrade... Kind of reminds me of how Iowa fans think (now THOUGHT after Iowa State) the same thing with Vandy over Stanzi... Mind boggling. The game being in Lincoln is actually not much of an advantage for us anymore. We seem to play a little sharper on the road as of late. Nebraska has not shown me anything yet that indicates that this won't be a 4 quarter brawl. I think some of us are expecting a repeat of the game in Seattle or the game we had against Missouri last year. I do not think this scnerio is all that likely. Our secondary is missing both Prince and Dennard and there have been some major busts in coverage. Also our LB play has been less than stellar other than David. I think we win another one in the same fashion that we beat Fresno State. The only way this one gets out of hand is if Washington has problems containing Martinez at full speed (he was nowhere near full speed in the bowl game) and if he gets Kinnie to make some catches. The same is true if Nebraska cannot limit Polk's big plays and has turnovers (Martinez carrying ball like a loaf of bread and INTs).

I agree with this assessment. What I find confusing is the false confidence Washington fans seem to have. They've done nothing but make it to a bowl game since Sark became coach. It's big improvement from their winless season but Nebraska is a top ten team for a reason. It's not smoke and mirrors. We have the talent to play with anyone.

 

I guess what I'm trying to say is Washington fans seem to be as foolish as Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, etc fans. We could've beaten Fresno by 50 and they would still be talking about how they will win.

 

What astounding arrogance. Sark took over a WINLESS team and led it to a bowl game in his SECOND year. Are you really dismissing this as nothing? Our program was literally left in ruins, and in under 24 months he coached his way to a bowl victory. I don't think you comprehend the task he had ahead of him. The job he's done has been nothing short of amazing.

 

And what exactly have you done this season that warrants such confidence? Nothing. Are you really surprised we think we can win after beating you in last years Holiday Bowl? And spare me the injury excuse, Locker had broken ribs and we were out our starting middle linebacker last September. As far as not being up for the game, you would think Nebraska would be after blood after the way the BIG 12 spurned them. I'm surprised your head fits through your front door.

I agree, Sark has done a brilliant job.

 

 

That being said, if you honestly think you can contain Martinez like you did in the Holiday Bowl, then you're in for a rude awakening. You can try and sell out to stop him from running if you want, but you simply don't have the athletes to run with him. When you have that box stacked enjoy watching him fling bombs over that pathetic, out of position secondary. I like the confidence, friend. But it's really, really misguided. The good news is you guys get the rare opportunity to prove your fluke bowl win wasn't in fact a fluke. :)

 

Enjoy the game.

 

Sigh...

 

Have you watched any film of our last two games? Despite the yards given up by our secondary, they have not been on long passes. If you're going to call our secondary pathetic and out of position, you should probably know what you're talking about. Hawaiis QB averaged 7.4 yards per pass against us, and Easterns averaged 6.9. Does it sound like they were going over the top on us all day? Didn't think so...

 

Like I said, unless your offense decides to implement the run and shoot, and throw 60 short yard passes through the duration of the game, I'm not worried about Martinez arm.

When they load the box to try and slow down Martinez, they will be out of position for the long ball, regardless of what's on film.

 

Well that could be good news for UW, I actually think there may be a higher probability of a Martinez pass coming their way if theyre out of position.

There's that misguided confidence we all know and love. :)

 

Enjoy the game.

 

You as well!

I simply stated facts. Nebraska has talent. They are #10 in the country according to the "experts" and we are 2-0 and were IN every game we played last year. Ok. Nothing shocking or arrogant about those facts.

 

I am still stunned about Washington's "we simply will win because x" You're not giving Nebraska any credit at all and on a Nebraska forum you're probably going to catch some flak for that. Your arguments go back and forth as you try to convince us. I don't know what you're expecting but it's obvious you have no intention to have a friendly conversation the way you get so defensive and spout off nonsense such as "and what exactly have you done this season that warrants such confidence?"

 

You serious? Pretty much the same thing Washington has done but if we're confident we must be blind. Both teams are 2-0. One team struggled with Fresno State the other struggled with an FCS school. One team is #10 in the country and coming off a 10 win season. The other is unranked coming off of 7 wins. It's all how you spin it Huskie fan. But for some reason your spin is proof and ours is hopeless dreams so crawl back to your board as it seems you are intent on gloating over that Holiday Bowl.

 

And for the record...most of us fans didn't even care about that game...I was still pissed about blowing the Big12 championship. AND...I don't recall you hopping on this board last september to congratulate us. You're here to brag about a game nobody on this board cares about and if you win saturday you'll do more of the same. If you lose you'll disappear or make up lame excuses. Prove me wrong and you'll be surprised at our responses.

Ridiculous. All this post shows is you haven't read a single thing I've said. In fact, my stated prediction was something along the lines of, "I think it will be close, but winning in Lincoln is a tall order." I would say you believing my prediction of a close game being a reflection of arrogance, says more about you than me.

 

The only slams I've mad have been toward posters who asked for it. And I only mention the Holiday Bowl when people bring up the thrashing last September. I think it's insulting to dismiss that game as a fluke, and not even consider for a second that maybe a young Washington team got better along the way. There is no gloating over that victory, just a claim that it was legit. It really doesn't matter what the fans thought, because those young men on the field still have pride. When that whistle blows it becomes a competition, and I don;t believe Nebraska players were so mentally weak as to just tune out for the game.

 

And make no mistake, if you kick our butts I will eat my crow. I will congratulate the better team and wish you good luck the rest of the year. I respect Nebraska football and that won;t change just because you beat the team I love.

Yes, PurpleDrank, teams get better along the way, such as U-Dub last year. And teams get worst along the way, evidence in our waning performance down the stretch last season. Where is the clear-cut answer in this? Somewhere in the middle. Anyways, enjoy the game, hopefully that crazy kid who films himself during Washington games puts up another video, and here's to hoping for a good game, which the more I think about it, it probably will be close® than anticipated. My seats are right next to the Washington section, so it'll be interesting talking with some of the Husky fans. GBR and Saturday cannot get here soon enough!

I wouldn't exactly say this is true. They lost three of their last seven all to ranked opponents, and all those loses were blowouts. They then beat 4-8 UCLA, 5-7 Cal and and 2-10 Washington St. Props to them for beating Nebraska, but they didn't exactly get much better as the season progressed. They just beat teams equal to or worse than themselves.

Bro, we both know that 2-10 Washington St team was a monster...
