Is there anything that has happened in the last 18 years that would say we have a chance to beat the spread against Ohio State. Personally, I will be pleasantly surprised if we hung around close to the spread. You can have all the hope and optimism in the world but it's not going to make a lick of difference in Saturday's outcome. My hope is we don't get embarrassed. My expectation is something like 49-17. Sorry.
There is no truth to the rumor that the team will arrive by ambulance instead of the team bus
When we came into the Big 10 we were essentially their equal, maybe a half-step behind. Then one school hires Urban Meyer and the other hires Mike Riley. Oh, how times have changed.
If we can get some stops against Fields and their offense, the score will be respectable. I'm not sure we are going to get many stops though. The mobile tOSU QBs (Miller, Barrett, Fields) seem to be nearly unstoppable when they play us. We did reasonably well against Haskins, who was more of a pure passer.
I have confidence that assuming we play a full schedule this team gets better as the year goes on. I have little to no confidence that we are ready to hang within three touchdowns of OSU. What's the over under on number of times OSU punts? 3? Looking forward to Nebraska football but for me personally this start sucks as a devastating loss could create a hangover for a team that hasn't proved it can be mentally strong. I sure hope I am wrong, but in my opinion this team could have really used some confidence boosting type wins before tackling Ohio State and Wisky.
Yeah i’d agree if that is what I said
Maybe all the stars will align Saturday, NU is well overdo for that so we shall see.
I have no confidence but what you say is true. I see underdogs winning every Saturday. Would be nice for once if it was Nebraska. The last real underdog surprise for me was Michigan State in Riley's second year.
