We are 73rd in rushing defense and Wisky is 23rd in rushing offense. This is they key to the game.....Stop Ball and win.

+1

Nebraska finishes the regular season 15th in total defense!

We finish 15th in total defense. That is good enough for me! I am glad we finished strong.

Also #1 in passing offense but part of that is just the type of offenses we faced. We need to focus on shutting down the run next week.

If I were to tell you at the beginning of the year we would be 8th nationally in rushing offense and 15th in total defense how happy would you have been?



EDIT: And our SOS was 12th.

Keep in mind this is not a vintage great Wisconsin O-line...they have struggled most of the year...

Yep. And it's not just stopping Ball, it's redirecting the 300 pound road graders in front of him.

This game will be a fight. Vegas has it at what, 2.5 points?

RR, sometimes I think you're just whistling in the dark.

Wisconsin's line does not have to be vintage against NU's now depleted D-line. As Doc mentioned, it's their strength versus our weakness. Our d-line has been leaky at times against the run. Hopefully, 55's backup can step up to the plate....

They have not been vintage against anyone this year....except Indiana....so I'm not whistling in the dark....and its a constant topic in their newspapers in Wisconsin too....
