I'm calling it now:  K-State 24 Nebraska 13

Gregory will have 1 or 2 big plays downfield.  K-State will have just enough success running the football to get some first downs.  Look for quite a bit of the Wildcat formation (that extra blocker would be huge against the Huskers), along with some passing plays out of it.  I think K-State will also try to get the ball in Brandon Banks' hands on multiple reverses.  Nebraska will move the ball at times, but have a difficult time getting into the end zone.  Look for this to be a defensive struggle with neither team scoring for at least the first quarter.  K-State will be extraordinarily conservative on 3rd and long (there won't be that many) to minimize Nebraska's chances for big plays.

While I'm concerned about Nebraska's ability to run the football, their play action passes (set up by their running game) to Niles Paul and McNeill (the TE) are what concern me the most.  The key (as Snyder teams always seek to do) is to stop their ability to run the ball, thus making the Huskers more one dimensional and taking away their most successful pass plays.  These teams are more evenly matched than most think in terms of talent and style of play.  For all the talk about Suh and the Nebraska DL, I believe the ability of Daniel Thomas and some creative play calling by Snyder will negate some of the DL's advantage over our OL.

The game will be likely be decided early, in the first quarter just like the ou game. If we get down by 14+ we are in deep dodo. If we hang around and keep it close into the second half then the pressure will shift to nu. If we are within 7 or less in the fourth quarter then I will like our chances.

Cats 3 - CornNutz 2

yes 3-2 First possesion Cats, Suh gets a safty after Coffman starts (lol) Nebraska then doesn't move the ball the rest of the game. Cats after stopping Nebraska GG moves us into fieldgoal range and Cherrio makes it (lol) becomes player of game as Cats cannot move the ball the rest of the game. Gonna be a boring game but our Cats win go to Texas and beat Tejas...

Probably not but could see the game totally going this way
