Some articles on BYU vs Nebraska:

"Young, who enrolled in January out of Peoria, Arizona, epitomizes this group of Nebraska linebackers -- out of which the Huskers just don't know what they're going to get."

- This bodes well for BYU. Nebraska will have a stout front 4, but the linebackers are a big ?

"BYU has its star back in QB Taysom Hill leading a talented group that should bring the firepower, but there are several question marks on defense along with concerns in an offensive backfield without star running back Jamaal Williams for the year. With Boise State, UCLA and Michigan up next, this game is either the start of a big run that could lead to some national noise, or, effectively, the end of the season with the bowl tie-ins already set for the program. Again, no pressure."

- This game is HUGE for BYU. A loss would really deflate a lot of fan optimism in the very first game.

"This isn’t the first time Taysom will be coming back after a major leg injury, as he missed the second half of the 2012 season with a knee injury. He didn’t shy away from contact after that injury and I don’t think he will hold back again this year. I think he will be smarter about avoiding big hits but I expect him to the electric quarterback that he was last year before he went down. He will be a decent passer but his running ability is what makes him special and that’s what he’ll use to be a playmaker."

- Lots of questions about Taysom being the same type of player as he was before injury. We have already seen him come back and be better from another season-ending injury. Hopefully he can do it again. And while he should tweak his game to try to stay healthy, he can't change it completely or he will lose one of the things that makes him great, his legs

"But Riley's first game will test his popularity. Brigham Young is a solid program that's on a quest. Every big game BYU wins draws the Cougars closer to an invitation to the Big 12, which sorely needs an infusion of football status."

- I don't think wins are what gets BYU into the Big12, but hey, they don't hurt either.
