The Huskers are bruised, not beat, and ready to bash ‘Bama. The Bear better beware! Nebraska 21, Alabama 17

VIRGIL PARKER Alabama 31, Nebraska 21. Don’t rule Nebraska out. If the Huskers can gain 470 yards again but don’t drop the ball four times they could win. But the third or fourth-ranked team in the nation, depending on whether you favor the AP or UPI poll has to rate as the favorite.
