:worshipFor your sake lets hope NU wins, because if they dont that crow is going to taste awful next week.
I hope next week it is I who is eating crow --- as I have predicted a VT 14 point win over NU. I really do not see this game as being really overly contested. VT should have fairly smooth sailing. So.... like I say, I hope the Huskers prove me wrong and I'd love to have to eat crow next week.For your sake lets hope NU wins, because if they dont that crow is going to taste awful next week.
Wow, really? It wasn't like that last year, you think VT improved more than the Huskers?I hope next week it is I who is eating crow --- as I have predicted a VT 14 point win over NU.

I'm going to keep quite....I don't want to jynx anything here and hopefully it'll be a really good game.....win or lose.
Ok I get all of that, my point is that this was the case last year too, that was a 5 point game. At this point you have to take a guess at which team has improved the most. Here is how I look at it.Caveman:Wow, really?

I don't know. Maybe I am just nervous. We have for so long "thought" the Huskers would soon turn the corner. And that day has not yet arrived (well, it has somewhat... but not like we all hope). I am really leery of how well weak teams this year have run on the Huskers --- and VT has those backs and a more experienced Tyrod Taylor. Plus, I also am leery of how well last week a weak opponent handled our running game. The axiom is that those who can stop the run and can themselves run win almost every time. I just think that VT will run on NU with impunity and that we will not be able to run.
Its a match-up thing. And the match up in the running game seems to go to VT both when they are on offense (being able to run on NU) and on defense (being able to stop the NU run).
Now... the ace in the hole is Zac Lee. He may just pass so well and move the ball in the air that NU has a shot. I hope so. But he'll need time to do that. And if the run is stopped, will our OL be able to protect Lee?
So Caveman maybe I have it wrong but from where I sit, perhaps too pessimistic than is healthy, but it seems that VT has a fairly smooth path to victory over NU. Again, I hope I am wrong.
I have loved the Huskers since I attended UNL for graduate school now over 25 years ago. I am like you --- one who lives and breathes Husker football. Been there for the good and the bad. I guess I'm a little gun-shy about predicting "good" when we really have not seen "good" for many years (or, at least, much good). Lets hope they prove me wrong on this one.
