**The Official Huskers vs Puffs Game Day Thread**

I woke up feeling pretty good about playing CU. Here's why.
Shaduer Sanders had the best day of his life against TCU He didn't have a game that good at Jackson State when they could out-athlete everyone they played. Last week was way beyond what is normal. He saw everyone was wide open because THEY WERE! He's not going to have the same defense against him this week. He will throw to guys that aren't as open as they appear. We WILL get interceptions. He will spend a portion of the game on his ass. We coming! Bullock will get to him as Bash Nutsmasher (and Ty in the second half) push him onto his back foot. They also aren't going to have the ball on offense 12 times. Our run game will use the clock and wear down their smaller defense.
I suspect we may fall behind early by a score or two, but we will grind them down.

I hope you’re right.

Another explanation is that — with another year of maturity and development — Shaduer Sanders has become an elite QB.
 
I always pick Nebraska to win because I can't pick them to lose, even when there is a good chance they could. I try to stay positive about the situation and the "long game" but again, throwing the game away against Minnesota is a gut punch. Nebraska really had no business losing that game but they did. Coach Rhule knows better or should know better than to let that game get away.
I won't be surprised if Colorado wins going away. And in my eyes, should Nebraska lose to Colorado, it's not as big a deal as the collapse against Minnesota. I will be more angry (as opposed to upset) because it's the sCUm but being up 1-0 in division play when they division looks mediocre would have been more important than a loss to a non conference opponent.

Nebraska - Colorado and turnovers.
4 interceptions potentially changed the course of the seasons for both Nebraska and Colorado last week.
If TCU does not throw 2 picks at the goal line, there is a good chance they beat Colorado by double digits, the Colorado/Deion hype is not there and the media isn't gushing over them.
If Sims doesn't throw a pick in the end zone and a pick at the end of the game, Nebraska wins by double digits as well. All the ill talk, curses, jinxes, etc is not there. Nebraska wins its opener and its in first place in the Big 10 West and has momentum.
But alas, "if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a party"
The one stat that I wish Nebraska could turn around is turnovers.
