FAU vs Nebraska- Predicitions!
Time and time again, we've come out shaky in the first drive or so. Even against CMU. We'll calm down in the second quarter but if Nebraska has been moving the ball easily, it probably won't matter how calm we are. If Rusty isn't crushed by Suh early on, he'll still have to scramble and that means he'll likely overthrow. You'll see a close-up of Gent or Bonner running downfield, trying to make distance, and then the ball will clearly go right past him out into the sidelines. We'll switch to running plays and Morris/Rose will make some short yardage but probably not enough to get us into the end zone often enough to win.
I expect Nebraska to have a strong defense up front. Their green QB is going to throw an interception to Polo, Mcintosh or Jensen. Someone's going to pick it off. But this won't be the bad Minnesota team and we'll probably only get one. I expect them to line up RBs and make 10-15 yards at a time before we get enough linebackers on the guy to slow him down.
The upside to this game is that their offense apparently plays very similar to our offense… and the defense (which has been doing very well all season) is used to stopping our offense.

Re: FAU vs Nebraska- Predicitions!
I truly think we'd have to be up 20 at the half to even have a shot at beating Nebraska…they are way too deep. Remember our pals Troy, and their huge lead on LSU? It's all fun and games until their second string line lines up against our second string line…we can't compete in the trenches with them there. Hell, we let Minnesota back in to the second half when we beat them.

Team Beer goes for the tie at the end of the game but his girlfriend is upset that he is blacked out and drags him out of the bar. Walty takes a lonely taxi ride home thinking to himself…."how the hell did we beat Nebraska?" while sipping beer #25.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Re: FAU vs Nebraska- Predicitions!
With Nebraska leading late in the 4th quarter, 35-30, Rusty Smith attempts to pull off a miracle in the 2 minute drill. With 1:00 on the clock, 2nd down on the Nebraska 35 yd line he guns it to a wide open Chris Bonner on a flag route headed for the endzone. With the Owl Nation watching with bated breath the ball is tipped at the line, by none other than All-American DL Ndamukong Suh. The tipped ball is subsequently intercepted and returned for a touchdown, ending the Owl's dream of a Top 25 upset in Lincoln.
In the end the Owls scare the crap out of the Huskers but come up short.
Now get out there and prove me wrong and beat those corn-holes into the ground!
GO OWLS!

Perfection….and the rest of the Owl Nation wakes up on Sunday morning with smiles on their faces knowing that we have arrived. Oh yeh, and TD Bank calls early on Monday morning begging to get naming rights of the Stadium, which they want built for 2010.
