Could Nebraska be the next top 10 team to fall? Both teams are 4-0 and both will look to pound the ball. Kansas State has one of the best RBs in the nation in Daniel Thomas. Standing at 6-2 230lbs he's a workhorse that gets the ball 25+ times a game and is one tough runner. Expect lots of single back, I, and wildcat formations from KSU.

Nebraska comes in with a 3-headed monster ground game. Martinez (QB), Burkhead (RB), and Helu (RB) all have their own style and when the young QB makes good decisions from the Zone Read offense it's hard to stop. The defense seems to be built more to stop the throwing teams though. They can't afford to give up 3-4 yards a carry by playing soft to prevent the big play. If they do look for KSU to pound the rock and pull off the upset. Knowing Pelini's success with defense though, it's likely he'll be able to come up with something.

K State ranks #102 in the nation against the run, giving up an average of 196 yards/game on the ground. Nebraska ranks #4 in rushing offense, putting up 309 yards per game.

Nebraska wins. Fatality.

I'd say. 408 yards rushing as a team with almost the entire 4th to go. I don't know if you're watching the slow mo replays but Nebraska's O line is pretty good. Hat on a hat everywhere and lotta pancakes going on. I'm a bit surprised......kstate is a decent team that has beaten some decent teams.

48-13 final. Huskers looked good on both sides of the ball tonight.
