Hey, upsets happen every week. It befuddles me that the Nebraska of the last 20 years cannot ever make that happen. Usually we get our *** kicked when we're a big underdog.

But to answer the question-- I think our defense is good enough that we can be in any game this year if we don't turn the ball over, do not have any pre-snap and 15 yard penalties, win time of possession and have the special teams play lights out.

But alas, Scott Frost's teams are not known for any of that so I guess we'll just have to hope that OU plays poorly and we get some lucky bounces.

There was the win against undefeated Michigan State at home in Mike Riley's first year, but hard to remember many other good upset wins over the past generation. Surely that wasn't the only one - was it?

I don't know what the outcome will be - if I did, I wouldn't be here - but I do know Nebraska will play hard, tough all four quarters and no matter what the scoreboard reads, Nebraska will not quit. They never have.

Let me point you to the final half of the 2007 and 2017 seasons. We quit. Bad.
