Do you honestly think KU will beat Nebraska in Football this year? It will be a tough matchup for KU in Nebraska's Memorial Stadium; it always is for KU. But with NU working under a first year coach (even though I love the Pelini hire) with an inexperienced quarterback, I have to give KU the edge. They return most of last years Orange Bowl Championship team and it will be their second year with the simplified offense and the second full year with Todd Reesing at quarterback. I think the key will be if KU can find a replacement for Brandon McAnderson running the football; I'm not sure Jake Sharp can carry the load on his own. Yes, KU CAN beat Nebraska in Lincoln this year.
