But this is probably a good time to get the Golden Eagles. Johnson, the former South Carolina defensive coordinator, takes over as head coach after Larry Fedora took the North Carolina job. The team also must replace quarterback Austin Davis -- who threw for nearly 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns last season -- its leading rusher, top two receivers and five of its top eight tacklers from '11. Southern Miss finished 14th in the FBS in scoring last year at nearly 37 points per game but likely will struggle to match that production without Davis and Fedora." Only 10 returning starters and most of their playmakers on offense and defense gone. New coach, and an away game for Southern Miss. Huskers should roll here. But I'm still a bit skittish, since I'm not sure what NU is capable of this season. Most of the Husker team returns, with notable absences of Levonte David and Alfonso Dennard. But there are always defensive standouts to bridge the gap. I remember screaming for them to bench Larry Asante his sophmore and junior seasons, before he became a shutdown corner his senior year. And Prince Amukamara was an afterthought then. After Prince had a standout season and went pro, it was Dennard. It will be someone else this year. We are pretty deep in the secondary. The offense is stacked, and a lot hinges on whether Taylor Martinez has improved in the passing game, since he put in a large amount of work in the offseason with the same QB trainer that helped Cam Newton (not to compare the two QB's). In non-con play last year, Nebraska outscored opponents 171-88, an average of over 20ppg. I don't expect that to change, especially with every player on the roster fully healthy, although a few linemen missed spring training with injuries. I'll take the Huskers at -17.5, but I wouldn't go higher than -19.

The defense will be a little more of a question mark after losing David, Dennard and Crick (although he was hurt most of the year). The DB's should be improved there are 6-7 with starting experience and look for stafford to have a break out year. From doing some homework on USM it looks like they will have a difficult time moving the ball consistently. Even acknowledging my husker bias, if anything i find it hard to see Neb not hit 40, it would be there defense that would concern me more(Compton looks like hell be a good leader but there are some definite question marks overall) if i were backing Neb (the over 52 is def worth a look) Look for Nebraska to put up some major points. Final prediction 45-13 Neb -17
