On Tuesday we noted that CollegeFootballNews.com’s Pete Fiutak liked Nebraska plus 10 this weekend against SC.

Well, CollegeFootballNews has thought about it some more, and now they are predicting a 27-23 win for the Cornhuskers.

What Will Happen: This is where all the bumps and bruises will come back to haunt USC. Safety Josh Pinkard is out for the year with a torn ACL, WR Patrick Turner is still getting over a shoulder injury, star OT Sam Baker has a rub problem, top RB Chauncey Washington has a sprained shoulder, and the list goes on. Of course USC has depth to spare, but it needs all its starters healthy and jelled to handle the jacked up Huskers. Nebraska isn’t faster than USC, but it’ll play with a bit more bounce in its step on the way to a decent early lead, and will then hang on late as Booty’s final drive to win the game comes up just short.

As for us, we’re going to stand by our expert.
