Life in the Red Group

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 11:46AM CST I expect it to rebound as well...unfortunately.

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 11:47AM CST Oh yeah, BAM!! Go Blackshirts!!

Posted by: RockHusker on November 30, 2009 11:49AM CST I hope they don't worry about us. I hope they think we don't even belong on the same field as them.

Posted by: Big Red Boliever on November 30, 2009 11:51AM CST They are looking past us. Look out horns. We got nothing to lose.

Posted by: HuskerzRock on November 30, 2009 11:57AM CST Mack Brown is a good coach, they aren't going to look past us. It's not their style. If we can manage a complete on on both sides of the ball and special teams play is there we can win this game. That's a big IF on the offensive side of things though.

Posted by: Albino on November 30, 2009 11:57AM CST We're sneaking up on 'em in plain sight. GBR

Posted by: Big Wave Dave on November 30, 2009 11:59AM CST Mack Brown and Colt McCoy, Shipley and company. No, they will not look beyond us. Too much at stake, way too much. This is what they have been aiming all year long since not being in the game last year. Both teams will come focused and ready to play.

Posted by: Stone on November 30, 2009 12:02PM CST I am hoping that NU stomps a mud-hole in the Whorns!!! GBR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 12:03PM CST Texas was looking past A and M and concentrating on the Huskers. They'll be prepared but you never know how the ball will bounce. Especially a football.

Posted by: Ray in Bellevue on November 30, 2009 12:05PM CST Brown knows all of the right things to say. He has that quiet confidence of a coach who knows what a powerhouse he has at his disposal against a team just trying to raise it's head out of the mud of the past several years.

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 12:08PM CST If NU is plus 8 in the turnover battle the Huskers can win this one. That's just one scenario, there are others that can give the Huskers a victory as well.

Posted by: joe t on November 30, 2009 12:10PM CST We owe UT. Karma is coming our way.

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 12:15PM CST It has been a long time since NU has beaten a team that it wasn't supposed to. Mabye it will happen Saturday. The odds have to be getting better each time it doesn't happen.

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 12:20PM CST I think the main reason why Brown is not worried about the Horns D is because he has seen film of NU's offense. Maybe the Huskers have just been playing possum the last 9 games so they can surprise everyone in the Big XII championship game.

Posted by: cajunhusker on November 30, 2009 12:25PM CST I was at the UT-A&M game, and I did not see UT looking past anyone. In fact, that is the most focused I have ever seen Colt McCoy. Even in warmups, he looked like a man on a mission. I was tempted to suggest that he cut back on the caffeine. Even during the game, he was constantly behind the bench, when not on the field, exhorting his teammates to play better. The Aggies just exploded offensively, plain and simple. Jerrod Johnson is a big-time playmaker, and Christine Michael is the best freshman running back I have seen in a long time. If A&M had had any kind of defense at all, UT would have lost the game. McCoy willed his team to win, which is what Big 12 qbs are supposed to do. If NU can play as strong defensively as OU did, and get a few turnovers, like a fumble recovery or INT for a td, then the Huskers have a chance.

Posted by: MattMiller23 on November 30, 2009 12:27PM CST Why would he be worried about his "D"? Watch out for that NU offense, it's explosive, it's dynamic, it's...it's...it's..................

Posted by: Denver Bob on November 30, 2009 12:31PM CST MileHiHusker........ I know you're kidding about the offense "playing possum", but with Helu and Rex healthy, the Huskers might just be able to do some simple things well in the running game. If the Blackshirts hold up and Zac can burn UT once or twice - game on! GBR! Beat Texas!

Posted by: HuskerzRock on November 30, 2009 12:33PM CST MileHi, We weren't "supposed" to beat OU. It hasn't been that long...

Posted by: MattMiller23 on November 30, 2009 12:34PM CST Texas A&M is a very good offensive team. They have been in the top of the conference all year and in the top 10 of the nation all year. It is no suprise they gave the Texas "D" a run for their money. NU is going to need to keep Texas off the field. This means they may need to convert a third down or two. Going to be a huge upset!! Go Big Red

Posted by: MileHiHusker on November 30, 2009 12:37PM CST OU was not and is not the same team without their Heisman QB and their all american tight end, as well as a few other injured players. We should have beat OU and thank goodness we did. If Gillelyn (sp?) ever gets to play again Zac might be able to burn Texas once or twice. Our running game does look much improved having two very good backs.
