The Huskies have been talking some smack:

    In an article in Wednesday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Washington
    Husky outside hitter Sanja Tomasevic questioned Nebraska's
    ability.

    ``We know we're better,'' Tomasevic said in the article. ``We know
    if we do everything we should, we know we're going to crush them.''

    Yes, Washington is 20-0 and dominating teams just like the Huskers
    are, but Houghtelling said the comments were definitely recognized
    by the players.

    ``Washington's been talking some trash in the newspapers,''
    Houghtelling said. ``When people do that we just get motivated and
    want to go show them we're No. 1 for a reason.''

If the Huskers get good setting and do a decent job digging, NU should
be tough for any college team to handle.  I'm not sure how good a college
team would have to play to "crush" NU.
