I say Texas in 4… I'd say a sweep but I think Nebraska is tougher at home.
Who gets the start at OH2? I'm gonna go with Pilar, even though I am rooting for Amy!

If Texas had Carlini, they would sweep, end of sentence, period.

Cat McCoy is the answer Texas has been looking for on defense. That girl has game! I'm nominating her for a "Wonder Woman" award.

When was the last Husker win over Texas, 2008? I believe Texas has a 6 match win streak on the Huskers.

2010 at Nebraska. It's either a 6 match streak or 5 of last 6.

Texas will make it a sweep. NE is a mess.

I'm sensing a lot of pessimism from Husker fans, myself included... We wouldn't want to hit the panic button though. Nebraska is a good team, and has the tools to be a threat, just like any other top 25 team. It's just that we are not used to being a "top 25 team" but rather a "top 10 team". It is what it is, and we need to make the most of what we've got.
