Troy Post Game, KU pregame

Husker win big 56-0, roll up nearly 600 yds of offense. Blackshirts live in the Troy backfield and hold the Trojans to 140 total yards. Marlon Lucky had 3 long TD runs, including one of 51 yards, longest of his career, on his way to a personal career-best rushing game of 156 yds on just 10 carries. Kenny Wilson followed up with 106 on 19 totes and a score as well. Zac was 14-17 for 268 and a TD pass. Terrence Nunn set a career mark with 102 yards on 4 receptions.

Nebraska is now #2 in the country in scoring with almost 43/game, and is also the #2 rated passing team with a rating near 179 and is #6 in yards/attempt at 9.7. We are #8 in rushing with almost 900 yards on the ground. The defense is #15 in scoring defense and #21 in total yardage. We appear to have both recovered nicely from the USC game and firing on all cylinders approaching the KU game this Saturday.

KU is also 3-1, with victories against Northwestern St., La-Monroe, and South Florida last week, while falling to Toledo on Sept. 15 in OT. They are averaging almost 29 pts and 365 yds/game, including 206/game in the air. the defense appears stout against the run giving up only 82/game out of the 313/ game they've been giving up. Starting QB Kerry Meier may be out for Saturday, but senior backup Adam Barmann went 25-35 for 273 in the victory vs. South FL,
while RB Joe Cornish is averaging 109 yds/game on the ground.

Huskers are looking for revenge for last year's 40-15 loss. Nebraska will probably have to use the pass to set up the run more than they have up to this point in the season, but I think the Blackshirts will shut KU down for the most part. I say Nebraska 42, KU 17.
