Saturday will be the first Big 10 game. Illinois will be a formidable opponent. Nebraska's defense will again be challenged. Another test. How good or bad are they? Will they improve with the bye week? Nebraska's three victories have come against Wyoming, Southern Mississippi, and South Dakota. These teams were outscored by 123-28 last weekend. Wyoming's opponent was Texas St. South Dakota St.'s opponent was North Dakota St. Boise St. beat Southern Miss. 60-7.
So how good is Nebraska? Game statistics are not impressive. This week will be another game to see where our place is in the national scene.
I would like to watch Tommy Armstrong r. and/or Ron Kellogg again this week. I think our offense clicks better with them playing.
This will be a "findout how good we are" game. At least it should give us an indication. In the second half versus South Dakota St., Nebraska held the Jackrabbits to 176 yards.
This week's prediction:
Nebraska 42 Illinois 28
Excitement is nearing for Nebraska basketball. There was an article in the paper today about Bill Fuller, a sharpshooter from Madison, Wisconsin. He is a freshman on the NU basketball team. He was heavily recruited by Minnesota and Butler. Sounds like this guy can shoot and Nebraska hasn't had many that were great shooters in the past several years. It will be fun to see how he does.
42 days and 30 practices until NU takes on Florida Golf Coast on November 8, 2013.
