Look.... I know I'm a homer here...... but here is why Nebraska is the right pick....
1- Nebraska fans are taking over the stadium. They had to pay the huge pricetag to make this happen ($250-$400 per ticket) but there will be more Husker fans than CU Fans
2- Revenge game. Nebraska is pissed that they lost to CU last year it was the Huskers first game of the season after their opening game was cancelled. They didn't have a "warm up game" and it was AMs first college start.
3- Revenge! Colorado's Jacob Callier pulled a very unsportsmanlike move when he pulled and twisted AMs leg last year while he was in a pile. AM missed a couple of games due to that injury. Callier is supposedly hurt and wont be playing this week.... which is too bad. Huskers want revenge.
4- Rivalry- Look Nebraska/Colorado is a huge rivalry. Nebraska really never looked at them as a rival until Colorado made a big deal about it. Colorado fans are nasty---- heck they had to stop the game one year to escort the entire student section out of the stadium! While the current players might not feel the true rivalry that this game is..... Scott Frost hates Colorado. Scott Frost has made a point to his players how important this game is to him.
5- Adrian Martinez. The best player on the field on Saturday. Long shot for the Heisman and his odds went up after last week.
Trust me.... Nebraska didn't take South Alabama seriously. They sat the starting running back in the first half. (suspension for pending criminal charges) They didn't open up the playbook. Martinez didn't run the ball. They ran through the motions and walked away with a 2td victory. The focus has all been on Colorado. Nebraska will be ready.
Nebraska will win.
Nebraska 41 Colorado 31

He looked TERRIBLE week 1.(rumors are that he was battling the flu but not verified)
It was week 1..... Trevor Lawrence looked like crap too week 1. QB Coach Verduzco said that AMs poor performance was on him. He said that AM will be better prepared this week. Trust me.... Nebraska didn't take South Alabama seriously. They sat the starting running back in the first half. (suspension for pending criminal charges) They didn't open up the playbook.
