| What was said before the game: |
| Series Info: Nebraska leads the series 6-1 with their only loss coming in 1956 26-7. Nebraska has dominated the last four games outscoring Baylor 201-31. Baylor has been shut out by the Huskers 3 out of the last 4 games they've played. Prediction: The Nebraska defense has been giving up more and more points each game. They need to again shut out Baylor and get some confidence back. With Crouch still out, Lord will need to take control of the Baylor defense early and that shouldn't be a problem. Nebraska should win this one easily and should get some PT for the 3rd and 4th stringers. Nebraska 50 Baylor 10 |
