If Nebraska plays to thier potential this season I can honestly see them going undefeated heading into the Big 10 Championship. Scoring Explosion 2 would be an awesome sight to behold. The amazing thing about the 1983 team was people would say that Nebraska was running up the score on people, but they had the 3rd and 4th string offense in the game...
