Do they tho? They hit .353 against PSU in spite of those numbers. I do think NE is a better defensive team though and I would hope they are ready to go in transition. I’m not sure Nebraska is better defensively. Penn state is SO scrappy. It’s close though in either direction. I certainly don’t think Nebraska plays bad defense or that it will cost them a match though Yes PSU is scrappy, but Nebraska is statistically better in pretty much every defensive category. I also don't think it should be ignored that they swept Baylor without their best attacker. Nebraska makes this game interesting if they serve/defend well and can do damage in transition. Texas will be Texas with the hitters they have.

I can't remember the last time Texas beat Nebraska ? I truly believe TX lets NE get in their head (or maybe Elliot's head.) Nonetheless, it will be a good match. GO HUSKERS! edit: Last Tx win: December 15, 2016 That was also the last time the 2 teams played. Texas has won 4 of the last 6 matchups between the two teams. Might want to revisit your statement. AND that was a shellacking in Nebraska. Great game, but Nebraska hasn’t given Texas the shivers like the OP is saying in a while.

I think this match is fairly evenly matched. I see a Nebraska win in 5. Texas has some big pin hitters, but I think if Nebraska serves and passes well, we will be OK. Hopefully Stivrins is back, I think we can win without her, but it will be easier with her. Stivrins and Caffey make a fantastic duo.

All joking aside, I hope this is a good match considering I am using it as an excuse to not work lol

I do think the Huskers have to play at their highest level of the year to have a chance.

Yes, O'Brien is the only Texas player that has played Nebraska but of course it wasn't in a Texas uniform. Nebraska of course has one player that played for Texas, but didn't play against Nebraska. Don't know if Nebraska has a redshirt senior or transfer that has played against Texas.

I’d say you’re right, and the same for Texas. We have to consistently play at a high level, especially if Srivrins is back. It’s going to be a great one either way!

oh this thread is going to be terrible today I almost never follow a game thread during a match/game, even if it is on a Texas website. They all tend to end up about the same regardless of result.

Hopefully Stivrins is back, I think we can win without her, but it will be easier with her. Stivrins and Caffey make a fantastic duo. I feel like some of y’all forgetting whose in the middle for Texas... but I will say that Hames has a better middle connection than Gabriel.

I think this match will take the day as the most exciting one. I’m popping my anti-anxiety meds early and often today.

Gabriel and Butler connected well against Wright State, albeit it was Wright State. I wanted to see SOME of that against Penn State, but my guess is staying away from Brionne and using her to open things up for Skylar was part of the game plan. I hope so, because Bri having that few touches is a waste. Hopefully they unleash her today!

However it was a lower % of total team attempts. Since the big mismatch was with the outside hitters, it made sense to feed Logan and Skylar.
