A couple Nebraska mentions in his Forde Yard Dash...

Nebraska (6). Bo Pelini's first road game as a head coach isn't until Oct. 11, at Texas Tech. After three walkovers, the Cornhuskers host a Virginia Tech team that suddenly appears unimposing, then Big 12 North Division heavyweight Missouri. But keep in mind, Mizzou hasn't won in Lincoln since 1978.

Bo Pelini (20), Nebraska. For the first time since the fifth game of last year, the Cornhuskers held someone to fewer than 28 points in a 47-24 victory over Western Michigan. You say giving up 24 points to a MAC team isn't that impressive? The Dash reminds you that Nebraska surrendered 40 last year to Ball State. So that's progress -- even if the Broncos threw for 342 yards. How the rest of the season looks: like a return to bowl eligibility, after staying home in two of the four ugly years under Bill Callahan.

Pat Forde, what a great journalist, probably the best on ESPN staff. Wonder where he went to school?

In one of Shatel's recent columns, he, also a Missou Journalism School grad, talks about how they spend so much time teaching their grads to be unbiased for Missouri that the actually end up a little biased against Missouri. I guess we will see.
