Josh On Nebraska
“I do think this is a one possession game and I'll take Nebraska plus the points.”
“Matt Rule did not compare Anthony Colandria to Cam Newton or Tim Tibo at all. He merely use those as famous examples of quarterbacks that have to be plus in the run game.”
“Have not does not equal cannot.”
“They're about to go up against the number four run defense in the country.”
