Defense is the answer of course. If the albino sits in the pocket and gets loose, we will lose. However if our D line and linebackers make his life miserable, we have a chance. 9.5 chance of winning if we go soft and play cover.
I'm a big sunshine pumper, that just don't see a path to victory.We're all due.
Bring the freaking pain.....to the other side....this Saturday.
Somebody's got to win.
Might as well be Nebraska.
Not disagreeing but you even said OU finds a way to lose a game a year they shouldn't...Nebraska, unfortunately, has found a way to lose 3-4 games a year they probably shouldn't. They legitimately only actually lose 1-2 games a year they didn't give away. I hope this changes but, for now, it is our reality.Somebody's got to win.

You could make a strong argument that Frost’s record at NU could have easily been 20-12, instead of 12-20 coming into this season. I mean, how many close games where Nebraska easily could have won? Probably 10 at least. That said, it’s his job to fix all that, and thus far, it’s still the same. Illinois, game 1, perfect example.Not disagreeing but you even said OU finds a way to lose a game a year they shouldn't...Nebraska, unfortunately, has found a way to lose 3-4 games a year they probably shouldn't.

Here in lies the truth. To pull off an upset, or even play close there must be an articulated offensive plan of attack. I am not sure we have seen the four quarter offensive performance in 3 and 1/3 years that gives hope this will happen. Also, don't forget our special teams woes and anemic running (back) attack. I would love to see a competitive game but the money in Vegas is still chasing the point spread up, already at 22.5 and climbing. The O/U is set at 62.5 so this tells me that it will be a lopsided game in the minds of the Vegas books. Victory in this game is to come out with no injuries and a modest loss that would cover the point spread. Outside of the fans at Nebraska and OU, thats all the college football world looks at.You could make a strong argument that Frost’s record at NU could have easily been 20-12, instead of 12-20 coming into this season.

This is why I keep saying NU should be going 9-3, 10-2 almost annually. I mean, on paper, NU has more talent than everyone except Ohio State, Oklahoma (to a much lesser degree), and possibly Michigan. That’s it. The other teams? They beat you with smart play, scheme, and sound execution. So, in other words, very good coaching and development.

Well put. I've decided to adopt "Weird Expectation of a Miracle!" as my personal life's motto. AND IT STARTS THIS SATURDAY!!!Probably less than an 8% chance as we're 22.5 point dogs.
Though it's one thing to recognize there's always a chance any given Saturday etc.
Keeping from turning that into some kind of weird expectation of a miracle is another thing entirely.
(Not saying anyone here is but you know some people are)
