[Husker] Michigan Game, Black Rally Towels, 50 Years oc Consecutive Sellouts

[Aaron Wolfson]

I am nervous. It's a fine line you toe against Denard Robinson. Ideally
you'd want to apply pressure and force him to throw more, because when he
does he'll make a few mistakes. Of course, NU has to actually catch the
potential interceptions that are thrown to them.

And of course, NU seems to prefer the containment strategy against mobile
QBs. I'm hoping that the defense can contain Denard early, build a lead,
and force him to throw more as the game progresses. I don't know that the
defense can play as well as they did last week, but I certainly hope they
do.

If the offense can't move the ball regularly, I think the Huskers are in
trouble. Backfield pressure (or rather the lack thereof) and a clean pocket
for Taylor will be crucial. Like David, I'm not worried about our skill
guys (outside of fumbleitis), I'm worried about not being able to get them
the ball enough.
