Five-Star Recruit
Ok, so maybe I don't have that much faith in the Huskers. I think the Huskers do not play well on the road, and also Texas has a very strong team. I would be surprised if we could pull out a victory down in Austin. And to the poster who thinks that just because we beat A&M on the road last year means we can beat Texas on the road this year, you have to look at a few factors. First of all A&M was only ranked 24th at the time. They are not as good of a team as Texas is going to be this year. Yes A&M did beat Texas last year but that was during UT's late season meltdown and I think that was pretty flukey. I'm not taking anything away from the victory at A&M last year, but the drive at the end of the game was also very unlikely to turn out the way it did. They were lucky to even get the ball back with enough time on the clock. Then the roughing the passer also helped us out a lot.
Texas is not going to be afraid of NU. It's at Texas and we all know that NU is not very good on the road. Don't get me wrong I am hoping for a victory, I am a dedicated fan. I'm just not a true believer who always pumps sunshine and never criticizes the coaching staff. I take a very realistic approach to every game the huskers play. And to anyone being realistic, the chances of the Huskers winning at Texas is less than 50%. They are more likely to lose there and that is just the truth.
Yes we could be improved this year. But there are still a few question marks for this team. Will Sam Keller turn out to be as good as expected? How will the RB's hold up this year? How is our D-Line going to be with no returning starters? Is Zac Bowman going to be the same CB he was in 2005 even after not playing a down of football for 2 years?
I think it will be a lot easier to analyze this game the week before it when those questions have been answered. Also we have to see how good Texas is this year before we start jumping to conclusions. But as of now, with the info we have, is that Texas is a more talented team. I have no problem with optimism but you have to look at the facts.
