The Huskers enjoyed a very satisfying win last Saturday after defeating the Kansas Jayhawks. It was a much-needed win, too, for reasons I discussed in my last post. I was extremely thrilled at the play of the defensive front four, as they put lots of pressure on Kansas QB Todd Reesing and were solid against Kansas' rushing attack. All in all, a very good day for the Huskers. Yes, they still have a ways to go, but last week's game was a huge step forward.
Onto Manhatten, Kansas, for a date with the Kansas State Wildcats. This is another one of those sneaky games that could potentially bite the Huskers in the rear if they aren't careful. KSU's head coach was fired last week, but told he would be allowed to finish out the season. One could easily assume that the Wildcats don't have much to play for after a dismal season, and now the news they will no longer be playing for Ron Prince come the end of 2008. And that's why the 'Skers have to be careful. KSU has nothing to lose by pulling out all the stops, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they do just that through trick plays, stunts, etc.
Still, the Huskers have a lots to play for, and we can rest assured Pelini will have them ready to go hard. They will build on a tremendous effort from last week, and begin to exude some real confidence in their abilities. One gets the sense this team continues to learn from game-to-game, and this game will be no different. They will continue to fix their issues, and continue to improve while feasting on the Wildcats. Huskers 38, Wildcats 10.
GO BIG RED!!
