I like the first half under on it's merits. Huge conference opener for both teams. QB's playing in their first conference game. I think there's a feeling-out process early. Nebraska's Lee played so poorly at Virginia Tech 11-30, 2 INT's that I think he's on a short leash tonight Obviously Mizzou's D is not Tech's, but I see Nebraska's game plan here being trying to keep Mizzou, who have hung 50+ each of the past two years, off the field. Gabbard has been good but Husker D the best he's faced, by far. Three 1-A teams Mizzou played all ranked 100+ in yards per play at 6.2 or more. Nebraska is top 20 at 4.2. Obviously Mizzou's O had something to do with the poor rankigns of the others, but Huskers are a different class of D. Tight early, good Husker D, conservative Husker game plan points to a good first half under, I think. The forecast lining up with heaviest rain at the start of the game helped push me over the edge.
Of course, I've been wrong before.
