Cotton Bowl

Jan. 1, 2008

Prediction: Nebraska vs. Arkansas

Big 12 no. 2 vs. SEC

Analysis:

The key to the Huskers' season will be the play of quarterback Sam Keller. Nebraska may have lost a lot of starters to graduation, but that doesn't take into effect the fact that Keller could be the nation's best QB. Nebraska will finally settle into its West Coast offense in coach Bill Callahan's fourth year in Lincoln and will get to the Cotton Bowl ahead of Missouri.

There is not a more exciting player in the nation than Darren McFadden. As long as he stays healthy, he will help the Razorbacks to a Cotton Bowl berth despite the heavy losses on the defensive side of the ball. Felix Jones and Marcus Monk will contribute heavily as well.
