Nebraska Cornhuskers at Washington Huskies (Who are you on?)

**vitalogist** · 09-17-10, 05:54 PM

The books clean up on this one IMO. Wash ML or no play for me. Like the dawgs straight up, personally..... +3.5 is as solid a play as you'll find. Flame me now, and apologize later....

A few years back Ohio St went to Washington and destroyed them. Nebraska shut down Arizona high octane offense in the bowl game last year.

**LVBOUND** · 09-17-10, 06:10 PM

So i guess that's you're cryptic way of saying you are on Nebraska

Ohio State 33-14 Washington (Sep 15, 2007) Game Recap - ESPN

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=272580264

Expert recap and game analysis of the Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Washington Huskies NCAAF game from September 15, 2007 on ESPN.

Washington led 7-3 at half. Tyrone "fold like a house of cards at the half" Willingham was incapable of making halftime adjustments. It was Jake Locker's freshman year. A different Washington program, and ended up losing 33-14.

Not saying Washington CANNOT get blown out, but I definitely do believe that they have an outstanding shot at pulling off the ML win. Huge game for both programs...

At first look it would seem Nebraska will tear them apart. But Nebraska has had 6 turnovers in 2 games and their first test is Washington on the road. I will take Locker and the Huskies. GL

Lean Nebraska.

The Cornhuskers turned the ball over four (4) times and had 10 penalties for 120+ yards. After such an offensive performance, I would expect a team of Negraska's caliber to step up the following week. Bo Pelini had plenty to say to the offence and promised supporters a better offensive effort for this weekend. He said " We’ll be fully ready as a football team to go to Seattle. I promise you that.”

We all know that Nebraska can play defence.

Whatever you guys decide, BOL.

**og4667** · 09-17-10, 06:20 PM

freshman qb on the road is the key. NEbraska is the better team, better defense, better coach but I think it comes down to the inexperience at QB. I still would not play huskies though.

iowa and nebraska both play pac 10 schools this weekend and I don't think both win. I say iowa wins and nebraska looses.

**Brock Landers** · 09-17-10, 06:22 PM

Nebraska hasn't shown me shit

**LVBOUND** · 09-17-10, 06:25 PM

I so want to bet Nebraska but can't pull the Damm trigger

**pavyracer** · 09-18-10, 12:22 AM

If Washington is worse or the same like Cal Nebraska will tear them apart like paper.

**vitalogist** · 09-18-10, 12:28 AM

I think this is a stay away game. Should be entertaining to watch....

**Extra Innings** · 09-18-10, 12:30 AM

Whether you bet it or not....good call LV

**fury** · 09-18-10, 12:35 AM

The line is a little scary but I think Nebraska wins by at least 10.

**eatdust11** · 09-18-10, 12:37 AM

I like the under in this one

**clarkd32** · 09-18-10, 12:46 AM

nebraska at -3.

**ACCBlitz** · 09-18-10, 01:15 AM

Call me crazy but Nebraska brings me a 'W' tomorrow.

**BigDofBA** · 09-18-10, 01:31 AM

I like Washington straight up.

I wouldn't factor in Nebraska's Holiday Bowl win against Arizona when thinking about this game. That Nebraska team was on a roll and had Suh.

I feel like Nebraska is overrated and we will see that tomorrow. Does anyone remember Nebraska losing at home to Iowa State last year?

Washington beat Cal and USC on it's home field last year. I really like the Huskies in this spot when the casual fan will love Nebraska -3.5.

**fury** · 09-18-10, 01:42 AM

Telling us not to factor in Nebraska's wins last year, then you bring up Washington's wins last year

Nebraska has many playmakers on defense without Suh. Bo Pelini eats, sleeps, and shits defense. The Blackshirts will be ready to go.

Nebraska was more excited to play in the Holiday bowl than Arizona was. Arizona was an overtime away from winning the Pac-10 and going to the Rose Bowl. It was a bit of a downer going to the Holiday Bowl.

Nebraska was never expected to goto a BCS game. They caught fire at the end of the year and put more into the bowl game than Arizona. At least that's my opinion.

I'm not telling you discount anything Nebraska did last year, I'm just giving reasons as to why I feel like the Holiday bowl win is being a bit overvalued.

People are quick to remember that game but not the Iowa State game Nebraska lost at home.

To the casual eye, the spread looks really easy. Top 10 team against unranked team -3. Be careful.

Nebraska may be one of the most overrated teams in the country.

Washington Huskies

**fury** · 09-18-10, 02:09 AM

I'm not looking at the Holiday bowl or the Iowa State game at all. Nebraska has a much better QB now.

What exactly has Washington done so far? They were the trendy pick at BYU, lost outright (then BYU got ripped by Air Force last week). Had to come back to win against Syracuse.

Now, the real reasons to be concerned about the Huskers. 1) First road game in a hostile environment. But Nebraska does have one of the best traveling fanbases in the country. They quickly ate up their 8,000 seat allotment and I'm sure at least another few thousand fans will find their way into the stadium.

2) Redshirt freshman QB making first road start against a "good" opponent. If Washington can force Martinez to throw the ball he could be prone to mistakes. However if they establish the zone read, they will eat up Washington all day just like Oregon has the past few years.

3) Washington will need to get the running game going to stay in it. Nebraska's pass defense has been superb but they let Western Kentucky and Idaho have a decent running game. The defense has been great early in the game but let the foot off the pedal when up by a few scores.

If Nebraska if overrated, I'd like to see which teams you'd rate above them.

**aznjeff07** · 09-18-10, 02:46 AM

wash with the points. Good qb>"bad" qb

**pavyracer** · 09-18-10, 08:38 AM

Well Texas and Arizona had excellent QB's last year with career numbers and Heisman hopefuls. That was until they faced Nebraska defense. In fact Nebraska is responsible for dropping McCoy from 1st round to 3rd round of NFL draft last year.

**Lendog** · 09-18-10, 08:53 AM

Don't bet against the cornhuskers

Just my 2 cents, but you do not want to bet against Pelini and the Blackshirts in this one. Lots of takeaways today from the Huskies. I believe Bo when he says that they will be ready. His teams get better as the season goes along and this week will prove that. Good luck in your play! Huskers by 12+ easy in this one.

**NostraDanUS** · 09-18-10, 09:00 AM

I'm on Nebraska, for thehellofit

**MBENZ** · 09-18-10, 09:02 AM

Washington will be lucky to field 11 players on offense in their next game after the beatdown they get today.

**dinaro7** · 09-18-10, 09:07 AM

nebraska

**Creamofsomeyoung** · 09-18-10, 09:14 AM

I already threw my money on Nebraska but I'll be honest you, Martinez' fumbling issue scares the hell out of me. If that doesn't show its ugly head today Nebraska will cruiiiiiiiiisseee today. I may have just jinxed myself but i think we'll be fine regardless. Here's to cashn in

**orangeheaven** · 09-18-10, 09:29 AM

Washington will take this.

**Creamofsomeyoung** · 09-18-10, 09:51 AM

"washington will take this" you really sold me on that one buddy!! washington all the way

**k13** · 09-18-10, 09:55 AM

Was at -4, down to -3, Every joe on Nebraska. These 95% streak 4 cash rarely let you down in these situations. Like last night in the cal/nev game.

Wash or no play for me.

**3PtShooter** · 09-18-10, 10:00 AM

Bet Nebraska ,,but leary now that I see so many on Nebraska

**str** · 09-18-10, 11:34 AM

Could only look to play Wash. +

**BigOrangeTitans** · 09-18-10, 12:05 PM

Guys, I'm on the ferry heading to husky stadium and I can tell you this: IF you've never played here on the road, you are going to be absolutely RATTLED as a froshman.

We havent had much sports to cheer about here, but Locker is the difference here. On offense, they have USC calibur athletes at ALL skill positions.

The over and Washington, or no play. East Coast Joe Broke have pounded this -3 and the line remains the same. Homefield advantage is huge here fellas.

Wash 31
Neb 24
