Southern Miss

[K-Town Husker]

I don't care if So. Miss. is as bad as they look in that video I still think Nebraska has problems putting a complete game together. I am not over looking them and I hope the Huskers aren't either.

I know you guys had your "wake up call" last week and most think that will mean a blowout of us. But we had a much more serious wake up call last week. Our guys are hungry for a win. I expect a good game at least through the 3rd.

Possession? Down?

Talking to some SDSU alum, they think this is a national title contender! We could have our hands full.

 

 

I'm shocked that they aren't here discussing the very same. Has anyone gone to their message boards?

Our next opponent is Southern Miss.

 

Where they rank in terms of stats according to ESPN.com:

 

Passing rank* 13/126 with 377.0 passing yards

 

Rushing rank* 115/126 with 23.0 rushing yards

 

Total offense rank* 65/126 with 400 total offensive yards

 

Total defense rank* 9/126 with 207 yards allowed on defense

 

Now they did play Texas State and Southern Miss is on a 13 game losing streak dating back to last year. They do have a senior qb who threw the ball 53 times last week and completed 28 of them. I think this is a game where we will win handily, but could give false hope due to the fact Southern Miss isn't that great of a team. None the less we will win this game and get prepared for UCLA on Sept 14th. What are your thoughts?

National rankings in those categories, after only one opponent (Texas State no less)........ Don't mean anything.

I actually think is means everything. What I mean is ... if this ends up being a game or close ... well ... it will tell me the true state of this Husker team. It will tell me that last week was not a fluke. I expect a blowout for us. Aside from the points I'll be looking at the small things by key players.

I'm willing to bet we don't concern ourselves too much with an overly complex gameplan for SM and we've been looking more at UCLA these past few weeks.

We'll be vanilla as can be, I really feel this is a "work on the small details" game, imho. All I know is that it better be over rather early.

Well, I'll agree that how we do in this game means something but, SM being ranked 13th in passing offense or 9th in total defense, etc. doesn't mean sh#t at this point.

Sorry but So. Miss deserves to lose every game if they are going to wear pants like those!
