Texas Tech-Nebraska Preview




Nebraska coach Bo Pelini seems more concerned about how well his offense, not defense, will fare when Texas Tech comes to Lincoln this weekend.

The 15th-ranked Cornhuskers try for a third straight victory when they face the Red Raiders and their high-powered offense Saturday in a Big 12 matchup.

Nebraska (4-1, 1-0) is averaging 404.6 yards and 36.8 points per game, but Pelini feels the offense needs to play better against strong competition.
The Cornhuskers have averaged 472 yards and 47.3 points in victories over non-BCS opponents Florida Atlantic, Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette, but only 303 yards and 21 points in a 16-15 loss at then-No. 13 Virginia Tech and a 27-12 win at then-No. 24 Missouri.

This is a tough game for me to call. Both teams are putting points on the board this year so far. I will just go with the home team here in a possible high scoring game.

Prediction: Cornhuskers 44 Red Raiders 40

Anybody like Texas Tech here?

The score will be much lower than that. I expect something like Nebraska 31 Texas Tech 17. Ndamakong Suh will disrupt the Tech offense by jumping the passing lanes and swatting down balls, maybe even grab another int.
