With all due respect to my colleague (and next door neighbor) Tony Chapman, it seems that Nebraska has been living on the edge lately. Despite the homefield advantage and all the motivation a team could ever ask for, I'm not sure that it will be enough today.

I expect the Blackshirts to play reasonably well, but as NU defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove said, the Red Raiders move the ball on everybody. The logic here is that Nebraska's offense simply won't be able to keep pace.

It's not too difficult to envision a scenario where Nebraska gets a lot of pressure on Tech QB Cody Hodges and scores on defense or special teams and pulls out a win. But that might be asking too much for a team that's already used up plenty of good fortune on the way to a 4-0 start.

The prediction: Texas Tech 35, Nebraska 24
