preseason win loss predictions still right on track.
Week Eight Nebraska 31- Baylor 10
Why Nebraska will win: IT'S BAYLOR... they suck. Not to mention they have a new coaching staff (like NU) who brings a different system to Baylor -- learning curves suck.
X-Factor: none required. But turnovers would make it even uglier.
Week Nine Oklahoma 31- Nebraska 14
Why Oklahoma will win: Top to bottom Oklahoma is better than Nebraska. Coaching is
better, quarterback is better, recievers are better, O-line is better, The entire Defense
is better. Horrible Mismatch for the Huskers.
X-Factor: Coaching
Week Ten Kansas 27- Nebraska 14
Why Kansas will win: They have Mangino. Their system is on year six, not year one. They have turned the corner. Reesing is a very good play maker. Sure, KU won't match last seasons record (helped by a weak schedule) but are more than a match for the first year husker system. The Jayhawks get their first win in Lincoln since 1968.
X-Factor: The Fat man
Week Eleven Nebraska 35- Kansas State 10
Why Nebraska will win: If Pelini just shows up. NU wins. KSU has no real chance in this game, Prince is stacking the deck with JUCOS but it ain't gonna help. This one could get ugly.
X-Factor: Ron Prince.
Week Twelve Colorado 28 - Nebraska 21
Why Colorado will win: Once again, the huskers face a program trying to rise from the ashes like NU and KSU, the difference? Colorado is further along in their rebuilding effort. The Buffs have a signature win already under Hawkins. CU wins a close one in Lincoln.
X-Factor: Desire
