That's why I threw in the individual stats from playing against those Top 30 defenses. Smith's aren't as good as Martinez'. Bottom line.

I don't know if you saw that article comparing SEC to MWC quartebacks, but the MWC had 6 in the Top 25 from last year which was adjusted for opposing defenses. If you're referring to the ESPN article about the Manning Watch List, it's probably important to note that Brett Smith was not mentioned in...

That's what is great about college football, you don't truly know what is going to happen.
Boise St. can beat Oklahoma, Appy State can beat Michigan, and Wyoming can beat Nebraska.

And Cal Poly can beat Wyoming.

Again, I like Martinez but he is not in the same class as Brett Smith. Taylor Martinez played six Top 30 Pass Defenses last year and beat four of them. Brett Smith faced two and lost to both. Smith threw two TDs against those top opponents and averaged 187 yards in those two games. Martinez threw e...

I believe he is talking about the Platte river. Which if I am correct the N. Platte runs through Wyoming before it goes into the flat land. Therefore, he joked about shutting off your water. Here is a nice map that maybe you can decipher for us mountain people. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pla...

Maps are hard to read, aren't they?

According to their fans, they have an offense that is the caliber of Oregon's, and a defense that is the caliber of Alabama. Oh and Taylor Martinez although a turnover machine, is going to win the Heisman. They are going to kill us. And everyone in the Big10, and end up winning the national champio...

So when you guys win 5 games this year, is Mr. Howdy Doody on the hot seat? Does the fan base miss Joe Glenn yet? Does Christiansen know his team has a defensive side of the ball? Will your team be ready to go at the Buck next Thursday? Lastly, is your running back as elusive as skater guy? Thanks,...

Question for you Pokes - Does Smith run well? If the pocket breaks down and he has to run for it, is he a threat to take it to the house?

I do believe Martinez is way to confident, arrogant, and overlooking the Pokes. He is a big poop talker, especially for having so many fumbles and int's. I do believe you have no idea what you're talking about. Martinez at the presser just a few minutes ago, on why the Huskers aren't overlooking Wy...

Not saying our defense has been any better, but Wyoming has NEVER allowed 70 point beat downs, even in our worst years and losses. And Nebraska expects to dominate on defense when replacing almost ALL of their "proven" defense from last year? OK... The only "proven" portion of o...

There seems to be some confusion as to who's actually heading to Lincoln this week.

Pop Quiz - Which of these teams is playing Nebraska this week?

A.

B.

Entrance to Nebraska's Memorial Stadium:


The Pearly Gates:

There's no harm in thinking the best about your team. We're the ones who support them. If we're not 100% behind them, who will be?

That is so hard to believe from Texas fans.

1. They are favored. 2. They are a running team, option oriented. 3. They have a much better defense than we do. 4. We are playing in Lincoln. 5. Our offense is designed to score more efficiently than their's... its the truth... space between defenders statistically improves points per game. 6. Bre...

I don't know that you need to win four more. You guys were like 3-8 last year, so you didn't go to a bowl, right? That being the case, you can count your win against an FCS school toward your bowl eligibility this year. You just can't do that two years in a row. So if you win only six games this yea...

I thought it was more option. Did you win the NC when the dude kicked the ball in the air and the guy dove and caught it for a TD? We were always a Power-I team with Option mixed in. The Option wasn't the base of our offense - that's a common misconception. And yes, we won the year that Scott Frost...

So, do we go bowling? I'm an outsider and I've only watched you guys play once, but yes - you do go to a bowl, presuming you play like this the rest of the season. I hope this wasn't just a 'get up for the big game' effort. If your team plays with this kind of toughness all year, if your WRs hold o...
