FW: [Husker] predictions, anyone?

Sat Sep 18 16:24:03 CDT 2010

So far, at halftime, Nebraska 28, Washington 14

We've seen one impressive drive by Washington, all on the ground, no
passes.  We've seen a Nebraska turnover give them a first down on the
6, resulting in a TD.  Otherwise, their 1st round NFL draft QB is
about 2 for 12 with a pick in the first half.  He literally has no one
to throw to because the Blackshirts have pretty much cut off the
passing routes.

Nebraska on offense looked unbelievable on the two short drives for
scores.  Then they sort of went into a funk, it looked like they
wanted to throw it too much, and as soon as they decided to run it
again, two scores and a certain amount of control.

I predict a couple of more scores for us, maybe slight chance of one
for Washington in the second half.  Its over, put a fork in it.

Oooops, an 80 run by Martinez.  Maybe three or more scores in the
second half.  My bad.
