Ameer Abdullah. USC's biggest weakness is kick/punt return coverage.

I'm going to go with the obvious and say Martinez on the offensive side of the ball. If he has an average to good day we win, if he folds we lose.
On the defensive side of the ball, I wanted to say Dennard, but I think if David can stop Shaw for short gains we will stop their offense.

If it isn't either Taylor, Burkhead or one over our other RB's, then we are likely in for a long afternoon.
South Carolina is an agressive defense that creates turnovers.
Taylor is going to have to be sharp in his decision making and keep away from negative yardage plays while holding on to the football.
Down and distance will yet again be at a premium. We absolutely have to avoid 2nd and 3rd and long as that is when USCe gets teams in trouble.

I'll go with the ol, if they don't get off the ball and get that initial push, we will be in trouble. On the other side, Bo. If Bo puts together a great defensive scheme, this could be alot of fun to watch. Its been hard to watch the defensive tackles getting pushed a couple of yards back and try to make plays backpedaling. The de have been playing inside and getting pinched in and let the play go outside.

I think Nebraska needs to match speed with speed. Turner's ability in the open field is unquestioned. Quite frankly, if he's not a sizeable part of the game plan, I'm puzzled.
As for Martin? He's the most athletic defensive lineman and might have a favorable matchup. Nebraska is going to have to contain and be physical. Martin will need to play a good game.
