[Husker] Capital One Bowl

[Steve Reichenbach]

On the NETV show last night, they talked about NU being tight and Wisc
being loose with nothing to lose.  To some extent, NU should go into
this game with the sort of position that Wisconsin came to the NU game
with.

> I agree we got a tough matchup, especially considering the rankings. Here
> in Georgia, they are saying that the SEC lobbied the Cap One bowl to take
> UGA so they could have an easy matchup.

> I think despite that, NU's strengths match up well against UGA. I think NU
> has one of the better defensive backfields that UGA will see, and we tend
> to do well against non-mobile throwing qb's. They are not going to try to
> run over us like Wisconsin did, and really don't have the running backs to
> do that. They are more like some of the Big 12 offenses we worked against.
> I think NU is likely one of the most potent and athletic offenses that they
> will face this year. They will not be able to stack the line like they did
> with Alabama and if you stretch them out they have been known to break.
