[Husker] Colorado Preview

[SteveG]

Fellow Listers:

The "W" over K-State was a big one for the team, the coaches and everyone
associated with the program.  A few untimely errors kept the overall score
lower than my regression analysis predicted 28-10 versus actual 17-3. It was
good to notch the Big XII N crown at home.

I don't see Colorado doing much against the Blackshirts this Friday.  On a
cumulative statistical basis, this will be thee worst offense (including the
Sub-Belt teams) that Nebraska faces all year.

...and the 4th worst Defense, too.  This bodes well for the Huskers as they
continue to build an offense around the talent pool that is available.

My regression analysis suggests a 33-3 victory in Boulder.  


Go Big Red!

Keep the faith...an unstoppable #3 rated team went into the inaugural Big
XII Championship back in 1996 against an unranked opponent.  The unranked
opponent left with a victory...and that is why they play the game!
