Line: Nebraska by 13.
Series Record: Nebraska leads 10-1.
Last meeting: 2008, Nebraska 32-20.
What’s at Stake
Nebraska turned the ball over eight times, matching a school record, in a frustrating 9-7 home loss to Iowa State last week. The Cornhuskers, ranked as high as 15th earlier in the month, have scored a total of 17 points in a two-game slide. The Bears, who are 1-3 since losing QB Robert Griffin, have been outscored by 67 in three conference games. Baylor has lost nine a row to Nebraska, including all seven as Big 12 foes.
Key Matchup
Nebraska’s offense vs. Baylor’s defense. While the Huskers couldn’t hold on to the ball against Iowa State, the Bears have created only one turnover in Big 12 play. After Nebraska lost the ball four times inside the Iowa State 5, coach Bo Pelini said there would be personnel changes on offense. Pelini also hasn’t ruled out the possibility of rotating quarterbacks Zac Lee and Cody Green against Baylor.
Players to Watch
Nebraska: NT Ndamukong Suh anchors a defense which ranks eighth nationally and third in the conference. Suh is considered a front-runner for both the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award.
Baylor: S Jordan Lake is seventh in the Big 12 with 54 tackles. The senior’s 286 career stops are seventh among active defensive backs. Lake had nine tackles in Baylor’s 34-7 loss to Oklahoma State last weekend.
