[Husker] Capital One Bowl

[Scott Stewart]

I hope your right Steve, but NU lost 70-31 and UGA is coming off a close

I think it is more likely that UGA goes into the game counting their
proverbial chickens. No one in SEC land thinks NU has a ghost of a chance
of taking the field let alone winning. I hope UGA buys that line.
