28-0 beatdown. Keep it going

I watched the first qtr of Indy vs W Ill.. The leathernecks never got of the bus . The first couple TD's were over the top of the defense with ease and 28 to zip before I turned it. 77-3 , wow. The wildcats amd Devils went into overtime with Duke pulling it out. NW 's D looked like they usually do. They have a QB with wheels and a big RB. I will be watching as many games as possible but keying in on Mich and those Monster's of the midway .

Huskers crush the buffs. Iowa loses, Notre Dame loses and Michigan loses (ignore that it was to Texas). Pretty great f'n day!

Friday thoughts before the big game:

Damn, Oregon is fighting ND for the clown trophy this week. They are down to Boise 20 - 14 in the 3rd.

I didn't see Carter Nelson for example.

This 2nd half has been terrible. BS calls against us and obvious holding by the Buffs going uncalled. This crew is putting their thumb on the scale.

Let's party. Getting closer to 90 min until kickoff, and here's the updated line per BetMGM:

Spread: NEB -6.5
Total: 56

My predictions:
Final score
Nebraska 31, Colorado 27

OPOTG
Dylan Raiola: 19-of-26 for 286 yards, three total touchdowns (two passing, one rushing), one interception and 32 yards rushing (excluding any yards lost due to sacks)

DPOTG
Tommi Hill: Snags a critical interception in the red zone, marking Nebraska's first interception in the red zone over the last 2+ seasons dating back to 2022*

*0 INT/18 pass TDs allowed in the red zone on 65 total pass attempts over that span

Let's start this thing up.

If I'm allowed to, I'll head down to the sideline for pregame warmups and post some observations in this thread like last week. With the amount of special guests and recruits coming tonight, the stadium officials might be more selective on who gets to roam the sidelines, but I'll try.

I realize I might get answers later because I doubt anyone there is posting. Just curious.

It'll be interesting to see what TMB says after this game. I'd say all 3 Sanders gentlemen were exposed tonight.

Also, I won't complain if Hunter wins the Heisman...

He is done. If he is hurt, sit him. If he is 90% healthy sit him. Next

No way Deion lets him continue to play behind this line and expose him to the real risk of injury. He's a tough kid but he's going to get killed behind that line.

I concur.

But these officials are absolute trash. No call after no call with CU holding but nickel and diming Nebraska to death. I don’t miss the Big 12.

Iowa LOST
Notre dame LOST
Nebraska Won/ Deon lost what ever ones trips your trigger.
just wish we the huskers had some scoring in the second half

we belong!

Enjoy the W my Husker brethren. It’s been 8 long years since we’ve been 2-0.

Don’t worry about refs or commentators. Just enjoy the W.

Colorado's offense is good, not great. Our defense is great.

They have a great QB and WR and very good complimentary WRs to with them, but that is it. They flat out can't and won't run the ball. They don't have the desire or talent to do so. No push from the OL against an FCS team and all the running backs transferred out. There just isn't a run game. Their OL is just bad. If Sanders threw the ball more than 10 yards NDSU hit him. They just aren't very good, they can't decide if their RG should play RT or vice versa and it's not because they are playing so well. They don't have a TE, they had a decent receiving TE but he transferred out, brought in a kid from Cincinnati and he transferred out after the Spring, they are left with a local kid that washed out at tOSU and a converted DE. The TEs are so bad they don't even play them.

Colorado's offense is basically short passes where they hope their WRs can pick up yards after the catch and some bombs thrown in. I would not call their passing attack "precise" it's closer to "playground". Make the tackles on the short passes, swarm to the ball and then they are ineffective. Sanders is great at moving around to buy time, he has to as he doesn't otherwise have time to throw it deep. Stay in your lane and contain him, as the big boys up front will collapse the pocket. That doesn't stop Sanders from chucking it, he will still throw it, but it will be underthrown, be aware and look for it and turn the PI they want into an INT.

This is a team that could only muster 31 against NDSU. Colorado has more than 5 WRs that are faster than anybody in that secondary and that is all they could score. NDSU was missing their safety and had several bad coverage breakdowns that Colorado took advantage of and still only scored 31 in a game that they were trying to score in to the very end. Our defense is better at every level than NDSU, by quite a bit. Colorado's offense reminds me of Frost's, they can get a chunk of yards on an explosive play, but they can't score or sustain a drive.

White and the Blackshirts should be licking their chops. They get to play a predictive offense that makes itself one dimensional. The can really make a name for themselves nationally by shutting down an overhyped one dimensional offense that just isn't great at all.
