NU Season Preview

The Big 12 season starts with Iowa State in Lincoln. This writer thinks this will be our easiest game of the year. Iowa State returns five offensive starters and five defensive starters from a team that was 4-8 for the season and 1-7 in the Big 12 in 2006. They will be led by first year coach Gene Chizek, the defensive coordinator from the Texas Longhorns. They will return QB Bret Meyer. NU wins easy.


Tigers will not lay down for Huskers

The next Big 12 game is at Missouri. Missouri returns eight offensive starters from a team that wa 8-5 in 2006. Chase Daniel returns and will be throwing to tight ends Marin Rucker and Chase Coffman. Both tight ends were recruited strongly by NU. Missouri returns both their kickers and five defensive starters. Two years ago in Missouri, NU was beaten badly. This year's game is a toss-up.

That puts us with three wins, one loss, and two tossups at this point of the season. The other toss-up game was Wake Forest and the loss was USC.
