Nebraska Vs. Texas: Huskers Manage Expectations A Little Too Well

SB Nation’s Corn Nation takes a hearty tongue-in-cheek look at all the reasons they could lose to Texas in Week 7:

1. They’re Texas.
Remember the Kansas State article where I said to forget all the stuff about ESPN Thursday night streaks, and things like that because they don’t matter on the field? Well, that doesn’t apply here.
1-8 against them, so many close games, and so many different ways of losing. Blame it on a contract with Satan, fate, destiny, or just plain bad luck, this is one series in which one team truly has had another’s number.
I don’t blame Husker fans for feeling confident, but going up against Texas AND some mystical force in the universe? Man, that’s asking a lot, ain’t it?
