KU game preview
With the Oklahoma win still fresh and a potential Big 12 North championship on the line against K-State the following week, Saturday's matchup against Kansas is the definition of a trap game. So-called trap games occur after a huge win or before a big game. Nebraska’s road trip to Lawrence falls into both categories. Making matters worse, the Jayhawks are reeling after four straight losses in conference play. It’s safe to say that Mark Mangino will have his team ready to play.
The Huskers should manhandle the KU offensive line and get repeated hits on QB Todd Reesing. Don’t be surprised to see KU’s backup quarterback come into the game. A porous offensive line and a QB with a groin problem equal a big day for Suh, Crick, & Company. While two years removed, the 77 points that KU put on the Huskers in '07 will provide extra motivation for guys like Suh, Dillard, Asante, and Turner.
Even though Bo isn't saying, Zac Lee will be the starter. He did nothing last week against Oklahoma to cost him his right to start against the Jayhawks. The fact that Cody Green didn't re-enter the OU game tells me the coaches aren't convinced he's Mr. Right Now.
With Roy Helu healthy, I think we finally put up some decent rushing yards. Final score: NU 24 – KU 13.
