Truth is

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'm nervous as hell for tomorrow

It would only make sense for a Bo Pelini team to go off and lose 1 week after Husker Nation is raving about how much better they are than the year before.

It would only make sense for Taylor Martinez to go off and throw 3 interceptions and complete 45% of his passes 1 week after vaulting himself into the Heisman conversation.

It would only make sense that a Freshman QB somehow stifles our Defense when we have one of the greatest Defensive minded coaches in the country, and to do it 1 week after everything looked so promising.

I predicted 52-20 in the score thread because that's how much better I believe we are than UCLA........but will we perform as good as we are? That is why I lose sleep the night before gamez.

LOL

Relax, Huskers will get the 'W'. Just closer than most think.

There will be a lot of other upsets tomorrow though I think.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

No offense, sir........but ye only predicted us to win by 6 points.........

I'm being conservative because it's the second game and it's a road game.

In Lincoln, I'd say Huskers by 13...

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

There are one hell of a lot of folks picking us ta lose.......

And Vegas pretends ta know somethin about this as well.......

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

I'm gonna try to get some sleep now though.........night RA.........and whoever else is readin this

IMO they don't see some of the things we see.

This team is more physical than they're use to seeing the last few years.

Ameer Abdullah is more than capable of filling in for Burkhead.

NU has better rcvrs than they've had in a long time.

There will be at least 25K Husker fans in the Rose Bowl.

Taylor is a 4 year junior.

That should cover it..

 

[oaknightshockey1]

any news about stanton's game? i would like to see a picture of the stands for that...

Another drunken JJM thread

 

[Tomhusker]

I am predicting a big win... but when I am alone I secretly hope for a win. Period. Close, big, I don't care. JUST WIN BABY!

 

[Brasky]

We will have a better idea of how good UCLA is when rice plays Kansas earlier in the day.

Don't think I'll place much on that. FUPA Charlie beat a Jacks team that's rebuilding IMO.

UCLA has talent, that's for sure. The Blackshirts will determine who wins.

 

[antone112]

If the game is close, Nebraska will win. Only way we lose is if Taylor reverts back to uhhh well Taylor and we get smoked in the first half, even then I wouldn't rule out a comeback.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

UCLA has better talents "recruiting" wise......

Per Rivals last 5 seasons ranked classes -
UCLA: 13th, 45th, 8th, 14th, 13th

Nebraska: 25th, 15th, 22nd, 28th, 30th


UCLA averages 18th over the past 5 years, but obviously the one year in there hurts that average pretty bad.

Nebraska more consistent in their rankings, and averages 24th over the past 5 years.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

So, yes........based on God-given abilities and talents.......the two teams shouldn't be far off in that regard.

Coaching will show you the outcome tomorrow. It will be on the coaching staff.

 

[Brasky]

I just think Nebraska will be so much better prepared.

 

[HuskerPower52]

For the record not worried at all

 

[iruletheskool]

Stop bein a fag, jjm

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

And if I would have told you before the Northwestern game last year that I was worried, you would have called me a fag the too........

I'm just sayin, I'm a little worried. If the coaching staff does it's job, we will win this game.......and I think we can blow them out of the water doing it to.

If they don't do their job, we're gonna get beat.
