This game feels a lot like the 2005 Colorado game to me. Very few saw that comming.

Best way we can end this season, dominate the team that is already representing your division in the championship game. Zac Taylor was a man.

I was thinking more like the 2004 game, since head coach was his first season and game is in Lincoln ...

We will see who is right then. I feel this team is a better team at this point, a lot closer to the 2005 team than the 2004 team in skill level. That is the feeling I get when I have watched this season with all of the missing parts now coming together for this particular game. I"m not comparing the season as a whole relative to the W-L column, but I feel this team as a whole, right now, is capable of what that 2005 team did. There is also the position that Iowa is in regarding the B10 Champ. Game. I can absolutely see your perspective, but I think you will be incorrect in your assessment of this team. GBR. And I remember fewer pundits and fans giving that team a chance in that game than I have seen leading up to this game, the spread was much wider for that game. I don't remember what it was, but very few gave Nebraska a chance in that one.

The only scary part about reading that recap was the excitement of the players about reaching that level of play and turning the corner. If only they knew... Hope that isn't us having false expectations again this year.

I would say to you, as you would say to the team, one game at a time. GBR.

I honestly don't think so. Riley is a legit coach. I think that's why the haters had a full court press on him and his staff from the get go. They know he'll be very successful here at Nebraska and they had to cut him off at the knees before he had a chance to settle in.
