Below our panelists, weigh in on the game. <\/p>\n<p><B>Dr. Hill<\/B> says, &#8220;This is another tuneup game before the big test at Virginia Tech the following week. There will be no big surprises &#8212; this will be an easy victory.&#8221;  <font color=red><I><B>NU 45, Arkansas State 7<\/I><\/B><\/Font><\/p>\n<p><B>Team Runco-Kelsay<\/B> says, &#8220;Arkansas State blasted Mississippi Valley State last week, but we&#8217;re not sure if that is a measuring stick at all. It appears they&#8217;ve got a nice offense for the Sun Belt conference, but we saw what a nice Sun Belt conference offense could do last week. We&#8217;d like to think (Nebraska coach) Bo Pelini will have the guys playing better each week, so we&#8217;re hoping to see some improvement in areas such as pass rush and reduced penalties. All in all, it probably will be a boring game with plenty of opportunities for mop up duty for our younger gents.&#8221; <font color=red><I><B>NU 41, Arkansas State 13 <\/I><\/B><\/Font><\/p>\n<p><B>Dr. Zatechka<\/B> says, &#8220;Given Arkansas State&#8217;s pedigree over the last few seasons (upset win at Texas A&#038;M, close calls with powerhouses Alabama and LSU), don&#8217;t expect them to be intimidated by the atmosphere in Lincoln. Nebraska is, however, too deep and well coached. The offensive line will be improved and the defense will continue to keep opponents out of the end zone. Nebraska wins going away with most of the damage coming in the second half.&#8221; <font color=red><I><B>NU 36, Arkansas State 14<\/I><\/B><\/Font> <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week one was good for our panelists and for the Cornhuskers.
