We are all dying for some football, I think we all know that.
I was just looking over some scores from the last few years in football and got thinking about some of the bigger upsets.
Last Texas A&M @ Alabama.
A&M came out early and scored a lot of points quickly.
They were up 20-0 at the end of the 1st. Then just "held on".
2009 Sugar Bowl, Utah vs. Alabama.
Utah came out early and scored a lot of points quickly, then just held on.
If Wyo wants to beat Nebraska, I don't think we can "grind it out" and play in a close game for the entire game.
I think the Pokes will have to come out early, and build a big lead, then just hope to hold on the rest of the game.
I think the pokes will have to come out, have B-Smith throw a huge ball downfield to Herron right off the bat.
They need to score a bunch of points quickly, so that Nebraska can not follow their game plan.
We know what Nebraska is going to do. Run the ball. Have Taylor Martinez run and throw.
That is all they ever do.
Last year against Wisconsin, they never had a chance. Wisconsin came out strong right off the bat, went up 14-0. They ended up piling it on throughout the game though.
Wyo has to come out put a bunch of points up early, hope Nebraska doesn't respond well to adversity in their first game.
Hope our 3-4 defense with the big boys, Olive, Mertens, Sunny Peultosi (sp?), and Yarbrough all do some damage.
Make them play catch up and force them into some bad mistakes.
We also need some timely turnovers, because I guarantee you that if Wyo is up 10 or more @ halftime, Nebraska will come out hungry in the 2nd half. We need the Huff/Burns combo of 2011, not 2012.
We need some picks or some need to recover some fumbles during some key Nebraska drives and stop their momentum.
Ugh that is what sucks about the first game of the season, everyone has their hopes up and predicts how the game will go, for 6 months instead of just 6 days.
Wyo will upset Nebraska in Lincoln 8/31/2013, get ready!
