Currently on a three-game win streak — the longest in the Big Ten at the moment — Ohio State coach Thad Matta doesn't want his team riding too high. He has seen that happen before this season.
"Every time this team feels good," Matta said Friday, "we crash and shoot ourselves in the foot."
The hope for Matta, of course, is that doesn't happen Saturday when the Buckeyes travel to Nebraska to take on a Huskers team that has proven to be a tough out at times this year, despite just being 14-13 overall and 6-8 in the Big Ten.
