It’s just the Huskers. We win the turnover battle, we can win this game. Luke, keep the ball safe and make smart decisions. Secondary, and of course X, do your thing.

Pressure 100% on them
But I suspect the line is gonna be rude for this one. 14? More?

Raiola is going to be tough to stop. Going to have to force some turnovers and bad passes like we did with Daniels. We have a chance but got to play smart and cut down on our penalties.

Much more scared of Nebraska than Michigan or Oregon.
BTW Memphis won.

Free Luke and Valentine!
Just need 3 more wins ...
Nebraska has always been a tough test for this team. Today was not a smooth game, but they did win. I little shine was taken off when Kansas lost last night.

It can't be that big. We got the most votes among unranked teams in last week's AP poll, so we'll probably break into the top 25 this week. My guess is Huskers -8 or something.

I'm guessing something more like 8.
I bet it opens at … Huskers -12.5.

Thankfully, it’s just another mid-level program like us in a stadium where we’ve won our last two games, right? 
Would be a huge win. Let’s get it!!

At this point our goal is to make a bowl and anything extra is just cherry on top.
What do Nebraska’s strengths and weaknesses look like vs ours?

I feel like we are similar teams in a lot of ways. Their offense is more polished than ours, but our defense is better. I feel like if we can solve issues on offense we could win. If we settle for field goals then it will be a loss. I agree with the posts above that "winning the turnover battle" will determine the game. That's our main advantage. That's just my take anyway.
Good take. Can we rattle Raiola? I hope so. Our defense is key, IMHO.
Nebraska -9.5 would be my guess.
I would say Colorado is more like a mid-major. Maybe Kansas. Nebraska is better than Kansas. Of course that is not saying much now. Nebraska is not a mid level program anymore. From what I have seen and I did watch them play Colorado last week. They are formidable. Good q.b. Good offensive line and run game. Decent defensively. They will win some games this year.Thankfully, it’s just another mid-level program like us in a stadium where we’ve won our last two games, right?

Not sure if Chips D line was keying on Feagin, but the way McCray ran with nice holes makes me think about that plan. Even Valentine looked to be able to get some room. But gonna have to figure that out early if Neb. watches that film on stopping Feagin and go to RB's ,2, 3 and 4 .
