[Husker] Colorado prediction

[Scott R Lawson]

I did see the OK State game and I'm a little perplexed as to why no one
seems to realize Zac Robinson- arguably the best QB in the Big 12 this
year, was out and his backup was pretty awful. Makes ALL the difference
in that game, IMHO.

Scott (and others):

Did you see CU hang with Okie State last week (at OSU!)?  Hawkins
actually
was in a position to win the game and 31-28 is a lot closer than any
pregame
point spread I had seen.

I don't think home field plays any factor with NUvCU as two of CU's last
four victories over NU have come in Lincoln but don't assume CU is a
pushover despite their record.  Also factor in NU's much more
conservative
offensive philosophy and 12-13 points look like a lot.  Throw in that
this
is Hawkins (likely) last game as coach and CU could be tough.

Has anyone else noticed that Watson's game plan is much closer to the
vest
following the TTU and ISU losses?  I'm convinced that Bo has instructed
Watson to play well enough on O to get a couple of scores, but then to
let
the D win the game.  No more passes to the sidelines that can be
intercepted
for a TD (TTU) or "bake and shake" plays that can lead to a fumble (ISU
x
8). 

NU - 17
CU -  7

I'm not sure- . . .  I don't see how Colorado stays with
Nebraska in this one for more than a half. I was actually surprised the
line started at around 9, I was thinking it would be at least 12-13 or
so, even in Boulder. Of course, this is the annual "Nebraska Bowl" for
Colorado, the only bowl game they seem to make lately, so I'm sure they
will be inspired.
