Texas/Nebraska

Texas/Nebraska Line is Texas -14. Seems like too many points to me - Nebraska has a very good defense that will surely keep this game close.

I thought the same thing and it's no surprise the line is falling On the plus side, Texas' offense is really rolling right now. Tre Newton and Colt McCoy are rushing the ball well and Colt is more comfortable with the younger WRs. Also I expect Texas' defense to play better than last Thursday. Texas also has a little more rest. But this will be the toughest defense Texas has played this year and they wont find it easy going like in some contests this year. 20-10?

Texas played late Thursday, Nebraska played early Friday. Both last had a bye week on October 3rd.

Nebraska has a good defense while Texas has an even better one. How is Nebraska going to score in this game? Their offense is horrible and unless they get some score from either their defense or special teams I can't see them scoring mor than 14 points or so. The only way Nebraska wins this game imo is if the total is something like 35 and under.
