I'll predict the score if no one else will

I didn’t expect them to put up 35 on Rutgers (who held NU to 14), but weird things happen in sports.
Garbers had his best game throwing for almost 400 yards in that game.He has thrown for almost 300 yards in 3 others,one of those was against LSU.Their running game is not good, they had 1 runner who broke 50 yards total,Harden.Garbers has been their leading rusher in 2 games with a little over 40 yards in both games.My biggest concern is we are starting some inexperienced players in the secondary and Garbers can run some.We HAVE to apply pressure from the up front guys.I do see UCLA trying to run some RPO stuff.Do Not over pursue,stay in your lanes and no missed tackles.They can be ran on, depending if Statt even tries will be interesting . Garbers has been good for an INT or 2 ,so hopefully we can get a couple.Their defense isn't that bad , outside of the Indiana game.The weather will definitely play a factor if the predictions are correct,off & on rain showers for the game,I believe 60% to 70% chance.If we can run the ball with some efficiency,give Dylan some time to throw and limit penalties & NO TURNOVERS,then there is no excuse to come out victorious.Still going with Huskers 20-10.Special team play? Well they better be just that SPECIAL.GO BIG RED and get that bowl eligible victory of their back.

130th in Redzone Scoring Offense

I really think it’s as simple as 2 things… Offense line play and the kicking game/special teams. We have been consistently average to below average in those areas for a long time. You make field goals and you run the ball effectively you’ll score in the red zone. Obviously identifying the problem is a lot easier than solving it, but that’s why these guys make all that money. Time to earn it and figure this shit out guys…
Well, teams scout and watch tape for a reason. Every defense is prepped for certain situations and sets and SATT either can't teach well enough to be multiple enough or they are afraid of the learning curve for Dylan or the other players...considering most of our wrs and one rb is new to the program...just think of all of the times that teams have had big runs on 4th and one because they run a play-action bootleg or bring a wr in reverse or run a trick play. Fans want us to just ram it in there but when we do it gets stuffed because big 10 defenses aren't little, and they are division 1 players who can memorize 25 plays in 5 sets from film. Even the no-name fcs teams had physical guys and we could just ram it against them.

PS: As great as TOs teams were on offense at times...he was still regarded as the best tactical play-caller in the entire sport. And his teams were extremely difficult to prepare for...even with almost no nfl talent, and often just a bunch of Nebraska kids. If something doesn't work it is always on the coach. Ball don't lie.
