[personal] [Husker] Buffs and 'Cats

[Skylar Dodds]

Steve,

The CU win was great and if you gave me even odds before that game I would
have bet the farm and my neighbors farm on OU.  OU seemed to be playing NC
caliber ball and I didn't think they'd lose in the Big XII.

KSU over UT wasn't 1/10th as impressive, IMO.  UT has played worse teams
than Ball St and still barely came out with the W.  I spoke with some UT
fans last week and they said they expect to be .500 or less in Big XII play.

KSU and CU seem to be improved, no doubt.  I'm not ready to declare them
"Back" by any stretch though.

I don't think the Big XII South is nearly as dominant this year and I don't
think the Big XII as a whole is as good this year.  The north should really
be interesting this year, a lot of teams could be in the race late in the
year.

I like our chances against Missouri if it were in Lincoln (there defense is
clearly worse than ours and because of their awful OOC schedule, I'm not
convinced their offense, while good, is as advertised a.k.a. Top 10
nationally).  The thing that scares me most is the 8:05 start in Columbia.
We don't play night road games all that well, at least not recently.

NU 47
MU 45

Take the overs :)
