I think this is going to be a really interesting bout. I've still yet to see their first match last year that Ness won 11-5, but here's my "live text" from their dual match that Ness won 8-6 that I'm sure absolutely none of you are interested in.
1st Period: Ness on a single, Donahoe rubber knees it for the TD...2-0 Nebraska, Ness out...2-1 Nebraska. Ness on a single, they're ankle to ankle, Ness looking to come out the back, stalemates it. Period ends, Donahoe leads 2-1
2nd Period: Ness goes down. Donahoe was close to backs, Ness looking to circle out but Donahoe stays with him. Reversal for Ness...3-2 Minnesota. Donahoe out...3-3. Period ends, tied 3-3
3rd Period: Donahoe goes down, he has 1:04 of time built up. Donahoe out...4-3 Nebraska. Donahoe on a double, close to a TD...gets it...6-3 Nebraska...Ness out...6-4 Nebraska. TD for Ness...6-6, rides it out, we're headed to OT
OT: Donahoe takes a shot, Ness working a front head...they wind up going out of bounds...Donahoe takes an injury time. Ness on a single, Donahoe rubber knees out...Ness on another single and gets the TD, wins it 8-6.
As can be seen, Donahoe had some success rubber kneeing out of the singles that Ness was shooting, and was able to hang with Ness on the mat. Ness just wore him down. Two tough guys, should be one of the better matches in a couple weeks.
I was extremely impressed by how good donahoe was doing on top in the 2nd period, I think ness will win this especially since its early in the season and donahoes cardio is arguably what lost him the last match, but I am definitely not counting the cornhusker out.
i am having issues betting...i am sure its just me but it just seems to loop when i try to bet and i can't seem to get to a screen that allows me to place the actual bet...do you have a "betting for dummies" option?

You are soo right on the lung factor...most teams are not focusing on conditioning as much as Minny does this early.
Talent vs. Talent is pretty equal, and when the lungs don't work guess what?
That's why come March, most of these guys catch up in the conditioning department and pull so called upsets.
I'll be interested to see how Donahoe does too, without the Bull in the room every day too. Henson was one of the primary reasons, at least in my opinion that he made the leap last year.
