I think the kids can find the resolve within themselves to find a way to win. They are in a place where they play this game for team and not needing to prove anything to coaches who are gone after Saturday. That alone should provide incentive to play to win with whatever it takes.

Gordon Sherman

Because we're under dogs

John Lind

wishful thinking, hoping they want to end the pelini era in style with a win.....

Keith Petrie

I can't pick against the Huskers!

Only because Beck is calling the plays. I do believe overall, the players are going to be both super charged and at the same time play more relaxed without the mentally deranged Pelini blaming everyone but himself. Hint for Beck: Run on first down until they can stop us. Only then do we mix it up. But always run on first down.

Billie Mann

They appear to be better balanced on offense than the huskers, hope I am wrong.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

Too many distractions for the Huskers.

James Traut

Same reason as in a previous poll: USC has too much team speed, especially on defense. Witness ND game results.

Arlie Rauch

Too many advantages on the field. Stats win.

Will the black-out home game vs. USC Trojans amplify the Huskers’ chance to shine?

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances

Need a new offensive line coach

Arthur Cayette

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Robert Lloyd

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

Patrick O'Brien

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Joe Kuphal

Nebraska has to prove it is not the same old story…until they do by definition it is.

Jon Howser

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

Joe Hegarty

Need to come up with an offensive that fits the talent we have but doubt that will happen.

I guess we will find out tomorrow morning. GBR

Richard Lydick

No big deal. Recovery on the way

Steve Slezak

Leave these boys alone. They are going to start believing the BS and senseless criticism y'all spew.
