[Husker] NU vs OSU

[Scott Stewart]

I like your analysis David.

I just don't know which NU team will show up. Last year we couldn't dream
of containing Miller, until he went out. So can we do better this year, or
does he have a glass chin? I don't know.

I am in a pick em' league on ESPN. I chose OSU as my 8 point game just so
if NU won I could be happy and if they lost it wouldn't sting as bad.
