Nebraska is going to make us Bowl Eligible

[WCHusker]

I'd worry about beating Kansas first

Considering how badly things have gone for KU this year, and now the fact that they are down to their 3rd string QB, I wouldn't worry too much.

 

[husker07]

Think of how proud Paul Rhoads would be if he was able to beat the Huskers again this year!

 

[HuskerJosh]

I see Cy has been hitting the sauce again.

Iowa State could beat us again. They have a for-real defense, and when they come to play, they can play well. Further, they may catch us on the back end of an ugly loss for the second year in a row.

However, if they beat us, I'm sure they'll do it with our full attention, unlike last year when we were clearly hung over and not showing the Clones the proper respect.

Somehow, no matter what happens this weekend, I don't see us going into Ames overlooking the Cyclones.

You mean this for real defense?

Dang! Iowa state has the best defense in the country and they are going to make it to Glendale Arizona with those type of defensive stats. :lol:

As much as I hate to admit it I can see it hapening, the 'skers always play worst after a big win. If we rock Mizzou I could easily se the team buying the hype and playing like they did against SDSU or Texas. Another thing to consider is that as a head coach, Bo, is 7-1 in the month of November.

[AK-47]

Yeah, I don't see Bo overlooking ISU again. That game is gonna be a "real a$$ whoopin'". Huskers by 35... At least.

 

[sd'sker]

sorry, CPR only gets one huge upset a year. and it is not allowed to be a home game. last time i checked, you already got that huge win and this game is a jack lice.

 

[knapplc]

Iowa State has played the sixth toughest schedule in the country. Yes, they're going to give up a bunch of yards and they're not going to have a glowing record, and at times they'll play like a$$. But if the Huskers walk in there looking at their record and their stats and think this isn't a team to bring the A Game against, well, 2009 should ring a bell.

Coincidentally, Nebraska has played the 41st toughest schedule, far "easier" than ISU's, but we've also given up a bunch of yards and points.

Absolutely we're better than Iowa State and absolutely we should beat this team. All I'm saying is there is no reason to expect to waltz in and win an easy game. This year's team is better than the team we lost to last year. Expect a dogfight.

If you look at the NCAA stats page you'll see that Iowa State isn't in the top 50 in any major category except one - Turnover Margin, where they're ninth in the country. We're 43rd in Turnover Margin. Anyone remember why we lost the game last year?

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

With us being at their house this year, I don't see us losing. We play so much better on the road it's sickening. :facepalm:

I bet its gonna be a shootout I wouldnt be surprised if it was
