At this point in the season, I think UNL's offense will be finding it's rhythm.   I don't think the OL will magically become great, but rather the offense will feel normal to the team.   Defensively, UNL just doesn't have enough speed to play with wisky.   UNL had become slow over the past couple years.

Top four games all look to be really good, but beyond that, not a lot of obvious upset alert.  A lot of ranked teams are at home.  Keep an eye on Clemson going into Winston-Salem though.

If Maryland can get back to their pre-QB injury form...

I'm hoping the Blackshirts will play with much more speed simply because of scheme and aggressiveness on defense
hard to look fast or quick while standing back on your heels reading and reacting to the offense, or breaking down before the tackle to a stand still
are they going to play well enough in the trenches on either side of the ball to win in Madison?  Hell no.
