Now...this is a hypothetical here and me drinking a lil too much Kool-aid right now, but if NEB makes it to the Rose Bowl, who would you rather see them play!?

A pro-style offense like USC's or a spread-option hurry up offense like Oregon's!?

 

When thinking about it a bit, I would rather take on USC as of right now from what I see from the defense. Now, the defense may improve their mobile QB containment, but NEB's defense typically eats pro-style QB's for lunch. I am not taking anything away from Matt Barkley. Barkley is an amazing pro-style QB, but I would rather see NEB play into it's defensive strengths. What do you guys think!?

USC has a better defense. USC has more experience. They both have good offenses. Oregon is a little bit better offensively. DeAnthony Thomas is really, really good.

 

We are capable of beating both, but I don't think we can beat someone like Alabama yet.

Alabama is in a league of their own....I won't even go there when comparing them to NEB.....Alabama deserves major props for the beatdown they gave to MICH.

Honestly, I don't think Michigan is that great - told my friends I wouldn't be surprised to see a 42-7 game. I think we could compete for a while... But the athletes on that team is insane. I honestly think USC is the only team that has a chance against them, and it's a slim chance. Oregons offense would get destroyed... The Alabama D line is incredibly deep and fast.

I predicted 41-13 in the Alabama vs. Michigan (so close....), so the game wasn't a surprise to me either. I think Alabama is the best team, but I don't think they are as far above everyone else as they looked. Michigan may be completely overrated.

 

To the initial question, I think USC would be better for NU to face, since Nebraska tends to do a little better against pocket passers, but I'm not sold on Oregon being as good as advertised, so it is a bit of a toss up in my mind.
