[Husker] Holiday Bowl lines

[Steve Kauf]

I understand a Running back for Arizona that has been out and dinged up most of the last part of the season will be back.  I don't think they will score much more with him - but that could be driving some of the over money is AZ.

Well, Todd, not too much pressure there 8^)  But say it ain't so.  I

But you gotta admit, an under at 40 points looks mighty attractive.  Since
he Mizzou game, we've averaged 18 points a game (a high against Kansas [31]
nd a low against Iowa St [7]).  I don't see Arizona any worse than some of
ur better opponents this year, but not terribly better than them either.
nd we held all opponents to an average of 13 points (since Mizzou).  Take
way the TTech game (an aberration) and the 20 points that Colorado got
that extra 6 points that really just didn't matter), and the average goes
own to almost 10 points per game.
So, I figure Arizona, not a high powered offense (they seem to be more
pportunistic than a scoring machine - very much like us) will be lucky to
core more than 14.  Their defense is better than their offense, so our
bility to score (sound familiar?) will be dependent on where our defense
ets us the ball.  If we control field position again, they will have
rouble scoring and we'll have short fields to get points.  I predict a low
coring game, and that's why I think the 40 points may be a huge hurdle for
hese teams to get over.
Now, don't bet the farm on what I say, because I don't bet on sports, and
rankly, what do I know?????  But this looks like the closest I see to a
fer sure' thing this bowl season.
I'll stick my neck out and say Huskers 20 - Wildcats 13.
Now watch Watson pull one out of his @ss and we score 40.  I can see it
oming.
