Virgil Parker: Colorado 28, Nebraska 24. I picked Alabama to beat Nebraska and the Huskers won. I don’t know if I’m taking Colorado in the hopes it will cause the same thing to occur, or whether I think the Buffs are due. Nebraska has won 14 of the last 15 meetings and the last nine in a row. Both teams will be equally “up” while trying to rebound from a disappointing showing last Saturday. O

Journal Johnny says: Nebraska 24, Colorado 16
