It would if you can place a top 25 offense with it but to be so unbalanced just isn't good. If teams can find a way to score early on Nebraska they are in a lot of trouble with their style of play. They really can't comeback from a 2-3 TD deficit with the offense they throw on the field. That's why I'm really hoping we can see Mizzou put up a couple early TD's in Lincoln this year because if they get out to a lead I don't see them relinquishing it against a run first team like the Nubs. I can't wait for the season to get here.

Niles Paul isn't a playmaker? Mike McNeil isn't either?
You do realize both of these players will be middle round picks don't you? And they have 2 guys who can run for over 1,000 yards this season. This is the same offense without a QB that scored 27 points on your teams defense last year in 1 QTR.
