LINCOLN -- Nebraska is about to tee it up against Iowa State and with all due respect to the Cyclones who got their lone win at the expense of Iowa, Saturday's game looks like the calm before the storm for the Cornhuskers.

That's especially the case for the defense, which allowed 610 yards last week against Ball State and has given up 40 or more points in back-to-back games for the first time in 17 years. If the Blackshirts truly aren't up to the task, the upcoming stretch of games at Missouri, vs. Oklahoma State, vs. Texas A&M, at Texas and at Kansas looks daunting to say the least.

Prediction time:
--Terry Douglass, sports editor: Nebraska 38-17
--Bob Gonderinger, reporter: Nebraska 35-24
--Kevin Schuster, reporter: Nebraska 41-24
--Bob Hamar, assistant sports editor: Nebraska 42-7
--Brian Ayers, reporter: Nebraska 34-24
