    Idaho st. comes to Lincoln for the 1st time ever today. NU will win, but it's how they utilize this scrimmage to get ready for conference play next week, that will be the indicator if they can make a run for the Rose Bowl.

    There's Offensive weapons on this fairly young team, but OC Beck seams to get away from what works, and tries to get something else to work in it's place.

    Beck needs to get ahead quickly in this game as too give the 2nd and 3rd stringers much more playing time to give much needed confidence depth prior to conference play.

    I only see tOSU and Mich as possible losses this year in conference. The Defense will need to step up hard to ensure victories for these games. We get Michigan at home, which is worth 3 points, but we have to visit the Shoe and that arrogant prick Meyer, so that won't be an easy task to say the least.

    Get through those games, at least UM and MSU, and it should be another trip to the RB this year, and hopefully we can get UCLA for a rematch.

    That would be a very acceptable season for us Huskers.

    Huskerman,

    I am not familiar with the RB bowl. Is that a Nebraska thing for big Red? :lol:

    RB means the Running Back Bowl. :)

    Question is now will you hang a hundred on them! Question #2 will Bo leave at halftime? Question #3 is the Train rolling in the Martin household? :)
