'Game Time Decision'

Who will start the game for Nebraska against Iowa State on Saturday? We'll find out when the offense hits the field and we see who's in the middle of the huddle.

Zac Lee or Cody Green? That is all that people talked about today at Nebraska's weekly press conference and we didn't find out a whole lot today. Bo Pelini and Keith Mann, Nebraska's sports information director has to be proud. All of the players said all of the right things. There's always a competition. There's no division in the team. When either QB is named the starter, the other QB will accept it and support them. I don't care who is starting at QB, I'm going to support whoever's out there.

I think that Bo Pelini gave a couple clues as to who we will see in the first series of the game on Saturday for Nebraska. Bo talked a few times about he doesn't overreact to things. He's always said that he doesn't get too high and he doesn't get too low. But today he talked about not making rash decisions. They just keep on doing what they are doing and in the end everything will all even out. Point, Lee. He also said that as of right now, this it is Zac's spot to lose. Point, Lee.

MY GUESS - We will see Zac Lee to start the game on Saturday. I think the real question will be for how long. How long will the leash be for Zac? What if this offense is not doing anything, the way it didn't do anything against the Virginia Tech and Texas Tech and for 3 quarters against Missouri? That is when I think we will see the change. This isn't the Iowa State of the past few years. They're not Texas or Oklahoma, but they're also a team that you have to look out for. If Austen Arnaud and Alexander Robinson are able to move the ball and maybe put a some points on the board early, then Nebraska's going to have to answer and score some points of their own. Not just field goals either. The offense will need to a) move the ball down the field, avoid three and outs and get into the red zone and b) capitalize with 6 points rather than just 3. If we don't see this happening, then Cody Green maybe your quarterback for the rest of game and the starter for the rest of the year.

But we'll have to see because it's a 'game time decision'.

Basketball Season Is Almost Here

We're halfway through football season which means that basketball is right around the corner. The Creighton Bluejay and Nebraska Cornhusker teams hit the floor all together and with their coach for the first time last Friday. Both teams have a lot of things to work on going into this season. The Bluejays need to find a replacement for the invaluable skills and knowledge that Josh Dotzler had at the point running Dana Altman's system and do everything they can to make sure Kenny Lawson is healthy because he is their big man. Nebraska needs to see if they can get all of these young faces to gel quickly and play Doc Sadler's style of basketball. All I know is that the season tips off in a few weeks and it should be fun!

Big Win

Last night, Nebraska came back from certain defeat and rattled off 27 points in the 4th quarter to beat the Missouri Tigers 27-12. What a game. The storylines were endless. Two teams fighting for top of the Big 12 North. One program that is trying to get back to being one of the top in the nation and one program trying to maintain their recent success. New faces for both teams. One player that was committed to one team and back out to play for the other team. And the weather. A night game in October that is cold and rainy. Power outages in the stadium before the game, a PA system that is silent and a video board that is blank.

Then the game started.

It was an ugly game. Both teams were trying to adjust to the wind and the rain. There were missed throws, bad snaps and plenty of penalties that made the game look like a horror film. For all but a few seconds of the first have, the score was 2-0. A football game with the score of 2-0. Exactly. Missouri pulled ahead and it looked like we were going to see Nebraska lose their third straight game in Columbia, but then the 4th quarter started. Turnovers and big plays lead to a Nebraska score and Husker fans thought that they might have a chance. Then they scored again and Nebraska was winning. Then they scored again and the lead had grown, but was still in reach of the Tigers, so the optimism for the victory was cautious. Nebraska has already seen a lead late in the game get erased in the matter of seconds and I think a lot of Husker fans had that in the back of their mind. Then the final Helu touchdown came and all of the Husker fans took a deep breathe to realize that they've woken up from their nightmare and that in fact they beat Missouri by 15 points on their field.

BIG WIN!!!
