I had a bad feeling about this game until I saw Nebraska flopping around the field vs. Wake Forest..
It will still be tough but I think I gave them too much credit..
C'mon everybody! let's do the Zibikowski Stomp!

I'm sure the Husker nation yearns for the years of those massive O-Lines and Tom Osbourne's mystique. This ain't the Huskers of the 70s.

66 if you want to pursue the MV subject go to Atlanta, DC or Newport News, VA? It does NOT belong here nor it serves any purpose. What are you another tabloid idiotic chaser? You are doing the same usual suspects bool$#*T when they trash Mark Sanchez. What is there to be gained by this? BTW the same tactic dug-out was used by an idiot just like you about coach McNair. You opened the door Mr. QB. Remember when the QB runs with the ball he's fair game and you can tackle the hell out of him. In this case I tackled the hell out of you. That is WHY it is called FB, got IT? One more thing don't come with the hypocritical garbage that you support Sanchez, OK?
Thank you

Let me clarify:
I should have said:
1. another idiotic tabloid chaser, etc.
2. BTW the same dug-out tactic was used by an idiot like you about coach McNair.
3. Obviously you did NOT have anything better to do other than chase gossip like a little old lady in a bingo game and rattle your fat large jaws...

Basic observations pointed out by the WF-Nebraska TV announcers SAT and obvious to the home viewer:
1. Wake Forest's decent D-Line dominated the UN O-Line and had an easy time stuffing TB Lucky and pressuring QB Keller.
2. Despite being in the system for over a year, Keller is not comfortable in the West Coast Offense. He is playing slow and too hesitant in decision-making.
3. WF's backup QB threw a pick in the red zone preventing a likely OT- clinching Field Goal. Then with WF driving,Neb got a no call on a PI call to "win" the game.
Unless USC completely melts down, and the Red Storm crowd inspires the Huskers to actually capitalize on the mistakes, I don't see anything less than a 2-3 TD Trojan victory.

Me thinks Door Prize is very sensitive about Marcus Vick. From now on, we should refer to the younger, gooder Vick brother as "Door Prize's husband".

Trojan& Tonic:
I agree with you 100%. BTW I watched the game. I have seen Ryan Skinner WF regular QB before. Had he played WF could have possibly won the game. Two points you missed with ALL due respect:
1. SPEED, USC has speedy receivers that NE will have a hard time covering.
2. USC speedy defense specifically the LB's will rattle NE QB Keller.
USC should win at least by two TD's...
Thnx

Did you even watch the WF-Nebraska game?
The only WR USC has that's as fast as Wake's is Jamere Holland.
Wake's WRs were arguably better than USC's.

13-9 aka 44-27 Emerald Bowl Loser:
Not sure if you're talking track speed, but I'll take 'SC's receivers over WF's in an actual football game.
Meanwhile, UCLA's receivers had alligator arms in the whole 2nd Half against that "vaunted" BYU secondary.

BoscoH:
Do you know how to freaking READ? You are acting and sounding like a moronic rectum hole. The point is simply that the MV subject does NOT belong here period. Is that clear enough for you you damn idiot? I have three dogs and I do NOT condone MV's actions. Again is that clear enough for you BoscoH A$$#ole? Save that moronic bool$#*T you stupid rectum #ole, OK?
For the last time I am NOT defending MV, OK you effing clown.

You're a bigger idiot than I thought who can't read. Childish is worse than being a damn idiot who likes damn tabloid BS. Is 66 your new gay partner?

13-9 for nothing learn CFB before you make garbage statements. I remind you 34-32 is the new sheriff in town.

I guarantee UCLA's offense used a larger % of it's playbook vs. BYU than USC used against Idaho.
Even the LAT, a Bruin rag, said UCLA showed "some troubling signs in victory."

Bill and 13-9 4 nothing need to take CFB 101. Both of you know zilch about CFB...

Hey Door Prize, maybe you should do your research or actually watch the football games before you open your mouth next time.
Wake Forest's receivers would leave Patrick Turner and David Ausberry in the dust. Only Jamere Holland has the kind of speed Wake Forest has at WR. Wake has a guy that ran a 10.2 100m in high school and won the Florida long jump title. Patrick Turner and Ausberry are SLOW. Nebraska has NO PROBLEM covering these two with their DBs.
The other thing...unless USC plans on running end arounds and reverses all day, they aren't going to be able to capitalize on that speed like Wake Forest did anyway.
I'm done trashing an armchair QB that knows nothing about the game of football and never took a snap in his life.
