HEAD COACH BOB STOOPS
On Utah State:
"I am just really pleased offensively with the balance of running and throwing the football. Our running backs were amazing; we have an outstanding offensive line. One of our players, Brandon Walker, who's probably one of the most consistent in three games, did an outstanding job. I think he played really, really well.
 
"Defensively, I continued to be pleased with our overall discipline, and that was a team with motion and shifting formations trying to confuse you on the gap responsibility on zone-read option. I thought we were really sound and tackled well, and played physical.

Nebraska USC

Guided by a steady approach, the No. 14 Nebraska football team wrapped up major preparations for Saturday night's nationally-televised game against No. 1 USC with a two-and-a-half hour workout in shells and shorts at Memorial Stadium on Thursday.

"This is a mature team," Coach Bill Callahan said.  "It's a team that has a good focus and a concentrated effort." 

Among the players most indicative of that "mature" mindset is senior cornerback and co-captain Zackary Bowman.  After a knee injury during spring camp put Bowman's status for the non-conference season in question, Bowman endured a rigorous rehabilitation program that sped his recovery to allow him to return to the field in time for the Huskers' opener against Nevada. He also played in the road victory at Wake Forest last week and is expected to play a large role this year against USC after missing the 2006 contest.

Sam Bradford and the Sooners

Sam Bradford is off to an amazing start for his career. I really dont think it could get any better for this red shirt frosh. He is leading the nation in QB rating with 237.73, and in comp. percent with 83.3. The next closest is Colt Breenan with 73. Did you know in two games he had 22 comp in a row. That shatered Jason White's scool record and was two short of breaking the NCAA record. He has just as many TD as incomplet passes, 8. Now i dont think he will win the heisman this year or anything like that but he is doing really good since everyone in the nation thought OU's biggest question mark was at QB. I dont think it is now.  I think he will have a great game against Utah state. They are ranked 117 in SI's power rankings. They are giving up 160 yards passing a game at the moment, but they have not played anyone in the top 75 either. I dont even think people would even think their could be an upset, but u never no in college football.
