The following is less relevant if NU's starting QB isn't Martinez.  
Also, how is Dennard and are there any other significant injuries?

Sagarin's Predictor Model gives Nebraska a 34 advantage over Kansas.  Ouch!
   86 - 55 + 3 (HFA) = 34

Sagarin also gives NU a better SOS: #28 for Nebraska vs #49 for KU, 
suggesting that the following NCAA stats give NU ever so slightly less 
credit than they deserve.

Nebraska's Offense vs Kansas' Defense

Rushing         #6  vs #108 (Nebraska is #1 in yrds/rush)
Passing Eff.   #30  vs #109
Total          #20  vs  #90
Scoring        #13  vs #107

Kansas' Offense vs Nebraska's Defense

Rushing        #70  vs  #73 (NU is #54 in yrds/rush)
Passing Eff.   #94  vs   #4
Total          #87  vs  #23
Scoring       #102  vs  #21

These stats are so lopsided, they're hard to believe.  How on earth did 
Kansas beat Georgia Tech?!  GT's just average, but with Kansas' stats, 
that's a surprising win.

If Nebraska is at full strength, they have no excuse for not wrapping 
this up by halftime.

Go Big Red!
