Nebraska might be the best team in the country...

Please tell me you are joking!!! We will kill the Clones ( sorry Cy )next week. After last years disaster in Lincoln, I almost feel sorry for what this team is going to do to Iowa St.
Bo and Carl would want this game after last year performance. Game plan is on the way as we speak from these coaches against ISU.

IF....Oregon HAD a defense....they would be the BEST team in nation...IMO....BUT they aren't! GO ARIZONA!!! so the Huskers can move up! muhahahaha
Akshully, their defense is not too shabby. It's definitely underrated because it lives in the offense's shadow, but it's not bad in its own right. They end up having to spend a lot of time on the field because Oregon's offense scores so damn fast.
I agree that it is not too shabby...I would prob. compare their defense to a Mizzou defense though...they are good, but not AMAZING. eh...we'll see how the rest of the year pans out for the Ducks...

 
What is wrong with you people? Why is nobody on this board willing to say how good we really are. There is always somebody to tear down any effort the Huskers put up. You people are ridiculous. We should be undefeated right now and you all are acting like we're struggling to be bowl eligible.
It's because we rolled through a bunch of mediocre teams pre-Texas. Texas exposed our offense for what it was and forced us to make changes. Okie State exposed our defense for what it was and forced us to make changes. Missouri feels like the first complete game we've played where we played well on both sides of the ball in the same game against a quality opponent. Hasn't really happened up till now. Now the question is if we can keep it up.

The problem is not that we have one loss; it's that so many teams ahead of us will either be undefeated or will have a less-ugly loss to their credit. Texas stuck the knife in by winning that game and is proceeding to twist it around by blowing @$$ every week since then. And they haven't even played Texas A&M or Okie State yet. And talk about problems playing at home! Texas has lost their last three home games to UCLA, Iowa State, and Baylor. Yeesh!
Texas didn't expose our offense, they showed how to defend our run and get raped by our passing attack. We just dropped the ball. Leaving receivers open and letting them drop the ball isn't good defense. If we didn't brainfart that was a 34-20 win at least. Also, there is a difference between the #1 ranked team and the best team. Remember, we're behind Boise State and TCU. Neither are the best team in the nation, but they're ranked high on the basis of "they could beat any team on any day" which is ridiculous. We lost our game in a stretch of games including Texas, Okie State, and Missouri, all tougher than any team the non-AQs play all year. Those teams do not belong in front of us, which is why the rankings are not a good measure of how good a team is, so in that case, I am perfectly justified in debating that Nebraska is the best team in the country.
