Still glad to have the Huskers in the conference. Especially NOW that PSU & OSU are ineligible for our 2nd championship game. We are fortunate that Wisconsin remains respectable & Husker nation will tune in. Buckle up & make it a good game…we need a team to be on top of their game & take back the Rose Bowl. I’m tired of hearing about the Pac 12, Big 12 & SEC…..I get it..they are having stronger years, but the conference can redeem itself with a Rose Bowl win.

You can’t count the Washington rematch game! We were disappointed that we didn’t win against OU in the Big 12 title game so when the Big 12 screwed us and matched us up against a team we beat 56-21 on their home field in the regular season, basically our players didn’t want to play, there was nothing to play for. This is a totally different situation. We’ve got something to play for this time, a conference championship, a rose bowl berth, and don’t forget, the last time Osborne announced his retirement as head coach our team wanted to win it for him. So when he announced his retirement as AD, at about roughly the same time of year in the season as when he was coaching, I think it was a calculating move by Dr. Tom. I really believe that the team wants to send T.O. out with a Conference title. I personally see our team coming out and playing a complete game and beating the Badgers by 14-21 points. They are simply too one dimensional on offense and we have entirely too much speed on offense for them. Lucas Oil Stadium is notoriously known as a fast track and that plays right into our hands. We just have to play smart and hold on to the ball and we will win easily. I’m thinking 34-17 Huskers!!! GBR!!!

Remember the new offensive coordinator was calling plays and messing up the defense until or even after the snap. Bo took over the defense after the mess at Ohio State game and Papuchsi is a glorified signal relayer since then. The defense has been improving greatly under Pelini versus papuchis. Stanford will be the Rose Bowl opponent for Nebraska or Wisconsin. I think the entire team has refocused and only looking at the game tomorrow night. Lets hope the “good” martinez shows up at the start of the game and keeps his head together using his new throwing style and judgements. Nice to have Rex Burkhead back for whatever role he is able to deliver. His leadership adds stability and more confidence to the entire team. The “old” Martinez showed up in Ohio State and again against Iowa from start to finish. Throwing style and ?judgement?. when he is on he is great but has helped dig a lot of the holes that Nebraska had to dig out of this year.

Go Huskers have a great game from start to finish.

You are forgetting a couple of problems. When the last time you saw Nebraska winning a rematch game. Wisconsin is going be out for blood and revenge for that embassing game earlier this season. We’re NOT going win this football game considering we have on a occation have team meltdowns remember ohio state and UCLA. Not to metions no rush defense, pelities, our qarterback’s fumbles interceptions.

Nebraska last conference title was 1999 when Solich rematch/revenge season only lost to Texas. They were the Champs (12) that year and finish #2 in the Country since then they have lost a handful of conference Title games most recently the lost to Ou in 2010. Bo get’s this win(or not)then he should and will be the B10 best coach and team. ” Heading to the Rose Bowl ( Stanford and Ucla in a good one)
