What are they saying in Redville this week?

Let me provide a crash course on what Nebraska has done so far this year:
Game 1:
Nebraska 49 584 yards of total offense
Louisiana Tech 10 (7-4 team in 2005 from the WAC conference that was shut out of going to a bowl game)
Game 2:
Nebraska 56 498 yards of total offense
Nicholls St 7 (Will Iowa State be able to match this output against Northern Iowa?)
Game 3:
Nebraska 56 597 yards of total offense
Troy 0 (took both Florida St & Georgia Tech deep into the 4th quarter)
Like I said before, I had no problem what so ever with the gameplan that Nebraska took to USC, any other Big 12 North school goes out to USC and they get blasted. Nebraska kept the game close and picked up some new found national respect, just not falling out of the polls following that game tells me Nebraska picked up some respect.
Sorry Garn but when you play Dime State, Troy, Louisana Tech, all at home and have only 1 road game, your stats are going to be over-inflated. Home games against Toledo, UNLV and road games @ Iowa and @ Texas are a lot more difficult then NU's treck this season.
If you take off your Cornhole sun glasses and look at reality, ISU has played a much, much more competitive first 4 teams then your Huskers.
Sorry, but your stats mean nothing here.
Yes, Nebraska lost that game and are you blind? This will be my third time in saying that I had no problem with Nebraska's gameplan for that game.
If you are thinking that Jack Trice is a tough place to play yeah right. What's going to be the ratio between Nebraska & ISU fans on Oct 7 when ISU hasn't even had a home sell out yet this year? Nebraska had upwards of 40,000 fans in LA for the USC game, scoring tickets for Ames will seem like childs play. If Jack Trice is such a daunting place to play, it sure didn't stop Toledo from ripping apart your defense.
I would have to agree. I'd never expect a Cornworshipper to concede this though. :rolleyes5cz:
That's funny, the only talk I've heard about the Nebraska-USC game was Nebraska getting raked over the coals for the gameplan. Apparently you haven't read anything outside of Nebraska.
When you lose to a top 5 team, you don't drop much in the polls if your barely in the top 20. That happens almost every time, unless you get totally worked a-la ISU in 2002.
Really? So Florida State must have a really crappy team if lowly Troy went into Doak Campbell Stadium and made a game out of it with the Seminoles deep into the 4th quarter.
I think this is now relevant because the discussion has been fairly lively and intuitive so far. It shows how big the Nebraska game is in the Big North. UNI is still trying to recover from their one loss and are nopt as strong as last year when they had Joe Horn, their ex Nebraska running back.
and the week following the Toledo/ISU game, Toledo got blasted by a directional MAC conference school, but I won't read too much into it that Iowa State needed triple overtime to beat Toledo.
