Nebraska will be crushed

I found this on a Texas forum.

I dont even think this game will be close, even though its in Lincoln.Now before everyone jumps on me and says "Woah, we need to watch out. Nebraska has quite an offense. They put points on the board. Its in their house" ect, let me say that, after watching Nebraska play a few times this year, most notably against SC, they have a glaring weakness that will be exploited to the tune of 35-40 points by the Longhorns, namely their secondary.

I dont expect either Selvin Young or Jamaal Charles to have big games, but I do expect Quan Cosby, Limas Sweed and Billy Pitman to be all over the Huskers undersized secondary. Nebraska has already seen a tandem of talented receivers this year, in Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith. Regardless of what the final score might say, the Trojans didnt have much trouble passing on the Huskers.

I also dont think Nebraska can get enough of a running game going to take the focus off of defending their passing plays, so that Texas will start dropping multiple guys into coverage and shut down their receivers.

Prediction: Texas-35Nebraska-14

I cannot say that i disagree to much with this post. The bottom line is that NU has to establish a running game to keep our thin, thin, thin defense off the field. Sadly, i dont think we will be capable of that. Hate to say it but....

UT 31
NU 17

Go skers!!!!!
