With perfect weather, there is no reason to think that this will be a low scoring game. Both teams can put up points, and both teams can give up points. The problem for Nebraska is that they have given up 121 points in their last three games, and USC has a much better offense than the teams that Nebraska played. By the same token, USC has given up 82 points in their last 3 games, which is not very good.
True, but they held ND to14 & the other 2 were big rivalry's CAL and UCLA
SoS of these 2 teams no comparison
If this game plays to script Nebraska is without their coach on what was already a very leaky defense and their offense is a turnover machine. As much as USC throws the ball down the field and as balanced as they are, QB Kessler does not turn the ball over. Throw out the Cal game as they were up in that game at the half by 28 and got completely bored. Don't look at the score in that game as Cal scored 14 pts in the last 5 minutes of the game to make is look respectable. It was 38-16 with 6 minutes remaining if I remember correctly. USC is +11 in the turnover margin and Nebraska is -2. Also look at the conference strength. The best win on the Nebraska schedule was over Rutgers and Iowa. They lost to both Wisky and Minny.
