It'll have to be pretty dang good if we want a chance.

Kid A, I agree, for them to have a chance they do have to establish a solid running game, whether they set it up with the pass or not. Here's the big problem. Pete Carroll knows the west coast offense as well as anyone in the game, Callahan included. He served as an assistant under Bill Walsh forever. Therefore, he understands how to counter this offense. This is the problem. Nebraska is undoubtedly a great team, but this is a bad matchup. They have a better chance against Texas or Ohio State, simply because they match up better.
