Well, with less than one week to go until gametime, how are the Huskers feeling?
I can say that there is some optimism but there is a lot of feelings that we will do like we have done the last few years in non-conference and play poorly early, then play well in the conference slate. There are too many instances of us having some optimistic outlooks and they come crashing down around us. We've often talked about being the Boise of the South, or the NIU of the Sun Belt. We can't seem to make that next step, and every time the schedule seems to line up, the teams on the schedule either have a great year or we have deficiencies that they exploit (speed, size, depth).
I'd love to say I feel confident, but unless we can make Tanner Lee's first start in Big Red miserable, we as a fan base might experience some misery.
Hopefully the Huskers win every game but this one, but I figure they'll win this one (barring a miracle).
Another fun fact, Ameer Abdullah had 170+ yards in his first start against AState in 2012. Zac Lee had 340 yards passing in 2009. With a new starting RB and new starting QB, who will the breakout star be?
