USC at Nebraska: Upset in the making?
When you break this game down on paper, it's difficult not to come away thinking that No. 1-ranked Southern California might be a couple of touchdowns better than No. 14 Nebraska. However, the great thing about college football is that Saturday night when the lights go on and the home stadium starts rocking, all that analysis and the notion of who's a five-star and who's not, often seems to go out the window. It happens every week in stadiums all over the country and should definitely be the case at Memorial Stadium on Saturday night.
My pick: Nebraska 17, USC 14.
The score is just simply a nod to the last time a No. 1 team came to Lincoln when the Huskers beat Oklahoma 17-14 in 1978. The reason for the pick simply comes from a sense of feeling that the Cornhuskers are simply due to come through in a big game. So, while this is no Joe Namath-like guarantee, I think there's a realistic opportunity for a big upset Saturday night in Lincoln.

SIMPLY, Terry, your prediction of a Husker win doesn't surprise me. I do think you're SIMPLY lazy to pull out the NU has to finally win a big game card and leave it at that. Come on, give us your SIMPLY amazing in-depth analysis! I find it SIMPLY flabbergasting that a city the size of Grand Island doesn't have a store that carries a thesaurus.
Obviously noone reads your predictions before they place a few wagers. As a Husker fan I would love to see an upset also ,but realistically I dont think we are good enough to compete with the likes of USC quite yet . Nebraska is stil 2 or 3 years away from being capable of winning agaist the top teams. Did you see how many yards the defense gave up at wake? Usc has twice as good of a running game.
