Two good college games today, Nebraska (20) vs. Wake Forest (17) and Michigan (7) vs. Oregon (39). The Nebraska game was pretty good save one thing: Quarterback Sam Keller. Overthrowing was a problem, and when that wasn't plaguing them, the receivers couldn't hold onto the ball. For Nebraska to have a good chance against USC next week, Keller needs to improve quickly, or Bill Callahan needs to be willing to swap out quarterbacks (in this case, the primary backup is Joe Ganz). Then again, it's USC, and might be a lost cause either way. Wake Forest had an excellent running game and misdirection game, which threw the Nebraska defense for a loop. Nevertheless, it was still an exciting game, and the close finish only made things better.
Michigan suffered its second straight loss in a week at their home turf, falling to Oregon. South Dakota expatriate and fellow Husker, Dan of tdaxp, said it best: "With all apologies to the greatness of the Pac 10, the public immolation of Michigan -- and with her the Big 10 generally -- has a very ritual-sacrifice feel to it."
