That game got away from Temple. Is Buffalo that much better than Temple? No, but sometimes games get away from a team for one reason or another, and often for multiple reasons.

Is Nebraska that much better than NIU? No; the game got away from us due to a number of reasons, including the large numbers of injuries and ejections on the D (that affected punt coverage personnel), and giving Nebraska way too many short fields, some from questionable coaching decisions.

Good coaches and teams learn from losses. I am confident Hammock, the other coaches and the players learned from that loss and will show up big time for Vandy!

The Vandy secondary appears exploitable, and I am confident that with Bowers' accuracy he will not overthrow 2 TD passes. I am calling this - Bowers goes for around 350 yards and that opens the run game with Harbs getting his first 100-yard rushing game. I agree with NIU1981 that the O line did better against a big and very good Nebraska D line, and I expect the O line to gel and improve form week to week.
