txmagnolia2 · 10-13-10, 09:39 PM

Yeah this was initially in wrong forum.

To answer the question, I think Nebraska wins in a romp. They are one of the best teams in the county and Texas is in a down year. Even when Horns won their first few games, offense didn't do much.

Huskers big. GL All

Nebraska wins by a few TDs.

I am all over the Rangers +9.5

pavyracer · 10-14-10, 04:55 PM

This could get ugly in Lincoln.

Flight · 10-14-10, 04:58 PM

I would take the Longhorns only if Cliff Lee is pitching.

lol

Sorry I am being silly, I thought post #2 was hilarious

mightyminnow · 10-14-10, 05:00 PM

this game has no play written all over it. all the pressure on the huskers now.

Lendog · 10-14-10, 05:09 PM

Bo and this Huskers team thrives on this pressure. I am headed to Lincoln tomorrow for the game. TX offense has not been good and has not faced a defense like this one all year. This Husker secondary is swarming and he will be rushed all night. Texas will be ready for the NEB offense but will not be able to stop Martinez and Helu and the passing game when needed. Huskers cover easily.

LVBOUND · 10-14-10, 05:12 PM

I think Mack Brown might like the +9.5

WeinketoWarrick · 10-14-10, 05:21 PM

9 out of 10 bettors are on the huskers. texas +10 for me.

Not true it is 6 out of 10, The other 40% are blinded by Texas's past glories and cannot grasp what a mismatch this game is THIS year, which is all that matters.

Vinnybagadonuts · 10-15-10, 02:32 AM

Same people who took Marshall, and Kansas are sitting there over analyzing this.

Texas was overrated to start the season, and they still are. I work there, and still can't believe the hype.

They are in a rebuilding year, and this one will not be pretty.

Don't be fooled by the name; Texas goes down three in a row.

Word. Texas might bring the heat...or Huskers might be the real deal and roll right over them. This game is a coin toss for me.

wookieehumper · 10-15-10, 03:13 AM

Im taking Texas +9.5. The Longhorns still have a great defense and 9.5 pts is a lot of points to a team with this much talent

Mr KLC · 10-15-10, 06:09 AM

I'm a Longhorn fan, and am not looking forward to this game. Nebraska not only has the better team, but they also are still pissed from the Big 12 Championship last year. God help Texas.

polskboy · 10-15-10, 06:34 AM

i like them alot come on its texas they will play there ass off.

TheCommish · 10-15-10, 07:12 AM

Really like Nebraska here. Texas is not good. The only reason there is any money on Texas is because of their name and previous seasons.

mike1814 · 10-15-10, 08:04 AM

can't believe it, but Nebraska will win by double digits

LChruscial85 · 10-15-10, 08:13 AM

texas +9.5...Martinez is gonna need to show off his passing skills because he won't be able to run like he did against Kansas St.

Bulldog-53 · 10-15-10, 08:25 AM

My play is Longhorns +9.5 on this one.

tshizzle · 10-15-10, 08:41 AM

Take the Nebraska! This shouldn't even be close.

Ya? The same Texas team that let UCLA run for 264 yards is going to shut down T Magic?

Nebraska is better on offense, defense and special teams. Nebraska only allowed 13 points last year and that was with Colt McCoy and a GOOD offensive line on a "neutral field".

I spoke with some Texas fans last night and they said that their linebackers are horrible this year.

I dont expect Martinez to break any more Husker records tomorrow.... but I dont see the Huskers having much trouble with Texas. They have had this game circled since June.

I expect Nebraska to score 35+ tomorrow..... do you actually think Texas will stay within 10?

phLLyphan11 · 10-15-10, 08:54 AM

I think the Huskers absolute destroy Texas after what happened to them in the Big 12 title game last year. Bo Pelini is the type of guy who would run up the score. Nebraska wins by 3 TDs.

THIS

Kansas State was the easiest game on the board all year... Kansas had 1 miracle against Ga Tech and that was it... Kansas State beat a very decent UCF team and got hammered by Nebraska who is a top 3 team this year.... Kansas State was humming all night last night as was I to the tune of..."We're in the Money, Life is so Sunny!!"

JayTrotter · 10-15-10, 12:07 PM

T Magic? I am not sure there was ever more hype about a QB who can't throw the ball 30 yds. That being said, usually he doesn't have to. It is looking like Nebraska is going to be the heart breakers this year, and break the hearts of the BCS busters.. Ohio State vs Nebraska for the national championship. first one to 13 wins!

as for this game, if a team has good athletes and can play assignment football, they will give Nebraska problems. I am not sure that Texas is this team. Muschamp is going to have to earn his pay check. His team couldn't stop the pistol, why would anyone believe they could stop the option?

covertwo · 10-15-10, 12:18 PM

Do we take anything with the Kansas St game yesterday, when evaluating Nebraska now?

Rookie-Capper · 10-15-10, 12:32 PM

payback NEB large easy cover

Philavanh · 10-15-10, 12:41 PM

Liking TEXAS

oklahomaoutlaw · 10-15-10, 02:09 PM

Ya I love texas to lose three in a row and lose this game by two TD's, BOOMER SOONER BABY!!!

I agree...

I'll take Texas, especially with another week to prepare. UT ML for me. I'm serious.

Hotlanta Steam · 10-15-10, 11:10 PM

Do you really think that Martinez can't thrown the ball for mare than 30 yards? The kid passed for over 3000 yards his senior year in HS and led his team to the state championship in Southern California... I am pretty sure that he can throw the ball... the real issue is not the arm on him it is his patience and ability to read mixed coverages... I am sure Nebraska has worked on that a lot... Not to mention he may be the most gifted frosh I have ever seen run the spread option... his zone read skills are out of this world for his age... This guy is LSU and West Virginia's wet dream...

I have a feeling that Nebraska throws for 200+ yards tomorrow and Martinez will still bust 2 runs of over 40 yards which will be plenty considering the Huskers D can stop any average offense dead cold...

Just watch the clips from like 45 secs on... he can throw plenty and I personally am in awe at how quick he bursts through a gap on the zone read... look at the D backs he pulls away from like they are walking

Richkas · 10-15-10, 11:14 PM

I do. Books have a strong opinion on Texas also.
