[Husker] Bowl Projection

[Nick Chevance]

I'm taking Bo at his word.  He said after the OSU massacre, they needed to
run the table.  And they seem to have taken it one game at a time, with
little sign of looking ahead.  Certainly that was on display this last
Saturday.  Had the 1st string stayed in for the 4th quarter, the score
would have been much worse.

I'm concerned about Iowa for the same reasons as David.  What do they have
to loose?  That can tend to loosen a team up and suddenly all the pressure
is off.  Unless they've quit entirely, they are likely to be difficult.  I
think we have the tools to beat them, but if they play like this is a bowl
game (it is for them), it could get ugly.

And as far as Wisconsin is concerned, the only thing I'm gonna say about
them is that they aren't the team we met in Lincoln two months ago.  But
neither are we.  I anticipate a really great game.  One advantage, Nebraska
will have one extra day of healing because we play on Friday this week.
Maybe that extra day is enough for Burkhead to get healthy enough to play.
