NU vs USC

[maryland husker]

I think it all depends on Sam and our receivers. He put up 456 yds vs LSU and over 300 in a 10 pt loss to #1 USC in 2005 before getting injured. Give us that kind of production, plus the home field. Big W!

I worry about the familiarity factor, though. USC knows him and his style, weaknesses, etc. from live play. That's a lot different than watching a new QB you'll be facing on film.

Even though you are right, they have seen him play, I think to much is put on that as far as retention. This game is two years later, most of the platers who have actually been on the field with him have graduated! I'm just not sure that will be a big problem for us.

Five guys off that 05' team played against Keller and will face him again. Two of which are pre-season All-Americans. If you want to see one of them sacking Keller go to the official USC website, chose "football" and you will see the then Sophamore Lawrence Jackson with his shoulder pads in Keller's rib cage. Jackson is now a senior.

Funny, I don't see the blowouts there were earlier......Ericthered 24, then later 17 - Tarheetrojan 21 - Bugeater "not even close" - MCAT800 "they will hang 30 or 40 on us"

Just FTR, I voted NU loses 8-14 pts. You don't consider that a close game, do you?

Not intrested in splitting hairs with you but a 1 or 2 possesion game is close.
