They say the biggest change in a college football team happens from Week 1 to Week 2. I saw a few defensive miscues that will likely be corrected this week as well as some work by the Husker offense on the running game.

San Jose State only managed a total of 273 yards on offense against the perennial powerhouse, UC Davis last week. This game will be nothing other than a total domination by Nebraska and will see Ganz sit down the second half.

Nebraska 56 - San Jose State 10. In the first half, SJS will be held to less than 100 yards of total offense and won’t find their way past midfield. They likely won’t find the scoreboard until late 3rd quarter.

Misha won last week’s score prediction and when that prediction arrives in the comments, I’ll feature it on the site.

We even have a prize this week with a suggested retail value of $25 (is that enough of a tease?). You can’t win if you don’t enter so get your predictions in now.

The Journal Star is wisely offering embeddable code for its videos. Here’s yesterday’s press conference with Coach Pelini.

Big Red Network is running some great photos from Kirt Manion of the Nebraska City paper.

I like this one of Bo breaking the tape on his new job.

Nebraska moves to 1-0 on the season. I’ll fill in the details later but wanted to give our audience a place to talk about today’s game. Fire away in the comments.

I believe Misha was the winner of the guess the score contest with a prediction of 42-21.

Results updated throughout the day. Teams will fall off the list as we play them.

TEAM (Rank) - Result - Season Record
San Jose State - Won - 1-0
New Mexico State - Bye - 0-0
Virginia Tech (17) - Lost - 0-1
Missouri (6) - Won - 1-0
Texas Tech (12) - Won - 1-0
Iowa State - Won - 1-0
Baylor - Lost - 0-1
Oklahoma (4) - Won - 1-0
Kansas (14) - Won - 1-0
Kansas State - Won - 1-0
Colorado - -

Notes:
Virginia Tech is upset by East Carolina which may rank as the big upset of weekend. Pedi-shine has found a new market at Pitt where the Dave Wannstedt-led Panthers are having their lunch handed to them by Bowling Green. My guess is that Pitt will be hearing the “not letting this program gravitate to mediocrity” speech sometime soon as Wannstedt is unlikely to keep his job after this season.

It’ll be a warm one in Lincoln today with a high around 90. A slight wind out of the south/southeast at 12-16MPH. Get your sunscreen for your afternoon tailgating and stay hydrated.

If you caught ESPN’s College Gameday this morning you probably heard the shocker of all shockers, Kirk Herbstreit is high on the Huskers and says they will be one of the surprises in College Football this year. Offensively he says Nebraska will put up the points, and on Defense Pelini knows how to run a defense, and they won’t look slow and confused with depleted morale.

I tend to agree. I don’t think Nebraska was as bad as they played last year, but low morale stole our motivation to play. This year, the team is in shape, playing hard and inspired by true leadership.

We’d like to see your photos, movies, and stories of gameday. Send them to huskers@huskerzone.com and we will feature them throughout the upcoming week.

Let’s play some football!

Bust your predictions out. Closest to the actual final score gets eternal recognition and their prediction featured in next week’s official score prediction post.

For me, Nebraska 49 - Western Michigan 12

The Defense won’t get their Black Shirts before this game and will be hungry to earn them. Hard-hitting, turnover-inducing football will surprise the Broncos. Ganz rides off into the sunset with an early sitting down in the 3rd quarter, giving experience to the other QBs on the team (yeah, haven’t seen something like that in a few years). Equally balanced offense going over 450 yards and limiting the Broncos to less than 200 total yards on the day.

Hey Husker fans. I’m in need of 4 tickets to the Baylor game on October 25. Can anyone help the Admin out (at face value)?

I’m proud to say I joined the Oregonians for Nebraska group yesterday, following our move to Portland. I’m psyched that we will enjoy the company of Husker faithful this fall as we watch our team compete.
