Had to go to the Big Ten blogger for Nebraska - #3 behind OS and Whisky

Is the change over now? No lunch links on NU by Ubben.

 
Was just about to post the same thing!

3. Nebraska: There likely will be an adjustment period for the Huskers, but the Pelini-led defense makes Nebraska an immediate Big Ten title contender. Quarterback Taylor Martinez will face better defenses in the Big Ten than he did in the Big 12, but if he recaptures his form from the first half of 2010, look out. A brutal schedule does Nebraska no favors, but the Huskers have an immediate opportunity to distinguish themselves.

Not necessarily........unless of course Watson is still calling the shots. Then yes, I agree.

OK, that's enough about QBs from me for this thread.

IMO #4-7 (MSU, PSU, NWU) and #9 (MU) are gonna be very tough games for us. The wildcard sorta teams could cause some a few bumps on our road.

 
At first I was actually pretty surprised to see OSU at the #1 spot simply based on the suspensions.

And now after another look, I'm still surprised because their 1st 5 games aren't pushovers by any means. Akron and Toledo will be easy, and Colorado probably will too (but you never know what you'll get against them). But Miami and Michigan State will pose a threat to any team, let alone one with such key players out of the picture.

It doesnt matter who the QB is.... we are gonna struggle. Call me a Debbie Downer but I see atleast 3-4 losses right off the bat. Plus theirs is gonna be 1 or 2 games we absolutely lay an egg against a team we should beat, going with the trend the last 2 years. So Im guessing next year we head the Ticket City Bowl against Baylor. Atleast its on the bright side its a News Years Day bowl.... wait uhhhhh the BigTen has 5 bowl games on that day.

How do you guy feel about the #3 ranking in the conference?

Do you feel you should be higher/lower/stay the same?

Or do you feel you need a full years crash course of actually playing in the conference to really get a full grasp?
