I'm going to say the defense has a "let down" which leads to a week of heated discussions on the board.
NU 52
WKU 23
No way a redshirt freshman led Western Kentucky team that went 0-12 last year scores more points on us than three Sun Belt teams combined, even if our starters are out by the end of the third.
I'm sticking by my prediction. I think we'll have the usual first game miscues and turnovers which will result in some extra points for WKU. And switching among 3 QB's won't help with a new center leading to some exchange problems. Plus, I think our defense will have some issues early this season, but should get on track during the Washington game.
I respect your opinion. More or less, I just don't think WKU will be able to effectively capitalize on our mistakes. It might lead to some points, but I don't think it will lead to 23 of them. Nebraska has only given up more than 20 points in a home opener once in the 2000's, and that was Pelini's first transitional year.
Also, I don't think we will see as much quarterback flip flop as others are predicting. I could be very wrong, but my assumption is that they will not all play equal reps. I could see it being something like 50/25/25 or 40/30/30. I honestly think Lee will be our guy the majority of the game, unless things get out of hand real early for WKU.
