I will share what has been my gut prediction/feeling all week long. If we win...we win big, like a reverse of the score last year. 41-17, something like that.
This game reminds me of the NU vs Colorado match up of 1992. Both teams were ranked even in the AP Polls, but Colorado appeared to have the upper hand, They came into the game in the top 20 in ALL defensive categories and had a 25 game conference winning streak going. They had the hot hand at the time. Nebraska, on the other hand had a streak of 0-8 against top 20 teams--they had been beaten soundly in bowl games by Florida teams...and the word was that TO just could not turn the corner and win the big one.
A young QB named Tommie (Freshman at the time) and a stud RB named Calvin ran roughshod over the Buffalos. John Parella, had 8 tackles and 3 sacks for the Huskers.
It was a nationally televised game....and it was cold and raining that day.
Nebraska 52 Colorado 7
