Wearing Blackshirt: Nebraska 'D' will beat Texas - CFB News - FOX Sports on MSN

Well, call me Phil Ivey. Because after Saturday night's Big 12 North-clinching win over Kansas State, I'm all in. Yep, I'm putting it down in bold-faced Internet ink right this very moment: Nebraska will beat Texas in Dec. 5's Big 12 Championship Game. I've been dipping my toes in this pool for some time now. And though even the most faithful 'Huskers fans have been e-mailing to tell me I'm crazy, I'm diving in head-first. With a win over Texas in Arlington in two weeks, Nebraska is going to shake this BCS thing up. Hell, they're our only hope at a little chaos in what has been an all too predictable 2009 college football season. Forget Lincoln, Neb., and its suburbs — if you're a fan of college football and all the excitement that goes with it, Nebraska's now America's Team.

So it's little surprise, really, when NU offensive coordinator Shawn Watson, asked for his vision of the future, said, simply: "It would be a team like we were last year." Shotgun spread. Zone running game. Controlled passing game. With some power formations mixed in near the goal line.

To be fair last year the offense preformed pretty well. But fans seem to prefer knee-jerk reactions.

His elbow will require surgery, so he won't be back. He's already redshirted, so unless he can petition the NCAA for a 6th year, he'll lose a year. Tough break.
