HOW SHOULD YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY
Louisiana Tech comes rolling into Lincoln with a 2-2 record averaging 31ppg but also a defense giving up 29ppg and almost 400ypg. Some folks may look at Tech HC Sonny Cumbie’s Air Raid background and be tempted by the over, but it’s important to note that: 1) the Bulldogs have already been held to 22 and 17 points by defenses inferior to the Huskers and 2) although SMU’s is a pretty porous defense, much of the over/under as well as the line could hinge on who gets the QB nod for the Huskers.
