Game Prediction for Week Two & more

College football is in full swing and tomorrow (Saturday, 9/8) is the Cornhuskers second game of the season with a road trip to California, the Huskers will be playing UCLA and game time is 6:30!

Unless you're flying out to the game, watching the game or going to your favorite place for viewing the game, show your ethusiasm by flying your Husker flag and screaming Go Big Red so we're heard from Nebraska!

Quoted with thanks from ESPN College Football Predictions:

I checked the stats for NE vs UCLA game and they only had a spread of Nebrasa leading 4 points. "Oh no, that can't be true." Below are very different spreads. Ugh--It may be a nailbiter. Follow me on Twitter on Dee4huskers as I will be providing info that you may not hear on the TV.  Stay Tuned!

So I found today's prediction for battle in California as follows:
Adam Rittenberg: UCLA looked good in its opener, but so did Nebraska, and the Huskers appear to be a more complete team in 2012. Despite Rex Burkhead's injury, Nebraska has more than enough firepower as Taylor Martinez returns to his home state and racks up four touchdowns (2 pass, 2 rush). The Bruins give the Blackshirts a few issues, but Nebraska prevails after a big fourth quarter. ... Nebraska 33, UCLA 28

Brian Bennett: The Bruins showed some better offensive weaponry in their opener against Rice and will make this game a high-scoring, Pac-12-like affair. But Nebraska has more options on both sides of the ball, even without Burkhead. It's a big day for Ameer Abdullah, who runs for 100 yards and scores on a kickoff return. ... Nebraska 42, UCLA 31
Thank ESPN for the use of the above information.


Word is that Rex Burkhead will travel to California with the team but as for him playing--it is still up in the air because of his knee injury against Southern Miss last week. More information at Huskermax.com.

And who is Ameer Abdulluh?  http://www.huskermax.com/games/2012/vid/02/h.html
 #8  Abdullah, 5-9, 185, So., Homewood, Ala., I back.....  I will write a feature on #8 this upcoming week,  So check back tomorrow for updates and next week for a closer look at Ameer.

I am rapping this up with a quote from Bo Pelini, "I think we’ve had some pretty good preparation, and ready to go get it. Take this show on the road.”

So get this show on the road and  dominate UCLA. Go Huskers!
