[Husker] What If

[Jon Johnston]

It's Texas and we're in the Big 12 North. It wouldn't matter one damned bit - there'd still be a lack of respect. We've won nine games this season, but not a one of them counts for anything nationally. 

And you never know, that lack of respect might come in pretty handy in this game. Coaches can talk all they want about not overlooking opponents and having their players ready to play, you've still got a bunch of 18-21 year old guys who have to perform that way on the field.

We're looking at 11-1, winning ugly most of the way.  Is there still the lack of respect for Nebraska going into the game on Saturday?

Total lack of respect for NU, FSU is going to kill us.  Then lightning strikes and we flat outplay them on the field only to lose in the last minute or so.  I think this team shows up on both sides of the ball and takes it to UT this week.  May not win but they'll know they were in a battle.  Bet on Bo & Co. to find a way to stay in it and have a chance at the end.
