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.

Awesome win - Been a long time since I have been this excited as a Husker fan.

Can’t wait to watch this team get even better this year. GBR!!!!

Fvck nbc as a staff, record label, and as a motherfvcking crew, and if you wanna be down with espn than fvck you too.

Don’t recall a half where every decent play was called back by a penalty. It almost seemed purposeful.
Happy to be 2-0 but we got hosed on a few of those calls. It was blatant at times.

GBR

They were so sold out on that replay and the refs called it correctly. Control wasn't there while foot was still down in bounds. Got control as his foot lifted off.

Somebody seriously call Suh into the booth for an candid interview!

Rhule will have some coaching points to work on this week

As for the defense, Colorado needed a MASH unit for all injuries inflicted by the hitting.

Colorado vs. Nebraska odds, prediction, betting trends for showdown on NBC
by Bill Bender, Sporting News

Colorado takes on Nebraska in a renewal of a classic college football rivalry on Saturday that features two next-level quarterbacks.

Kickoff at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln is at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. The Buffaloes handled the Huskers 36-14 last season in Boulder, which highlighted just how much rebuilding Matt Rhule had ahead of him.

Colorado (1-0) beat North Dakota State 31-26 in Week 1. Second–year coach Deion Sanders has another team with star power, led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders, two-way player Travis Hunter and receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. The Buffaloes are still must-see TV, especially if they can win the rematch against the Huskers.

Nebraska (1-0) has a new feel under Rhule in year two. The Huskers beat UTEP 40-7 in the opener, and freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola has helped create optimism that the Huskers might finally be ready for prime-time again.

If they can get past Coach Prime, of course. The old Big Eight and Big 12 rivals meet on a stage, and the winner could be ranked in the AP Top 25 heading into Week 3. Here is everything you need to know about the Buffaloes and Huskers.

Odds
Spread: Nebraska (-7)

Over/Under: 59

Moneyline: Nebraska (-267), Colorado (+215)

The Huskers are a touchdown favorite according to the latest Caesars odds and the line hasn't moved throughout the week so far. Colorado was a three-point favorite in last year's matchup.

Three Trends to Know
- Sanders will be able to play the underdog card. Colorado is 1-7 straight-up but 6-2 against the spread as an underdog with Sanders. Colorado is 1-4 straight-up but 3-2 against the spread as a road underdog. That suggests the Buffs have a shot to cover on the road.

- Nebraska is 5-3 straight-up and 3-5 against the spread at home under Rhule. The Huskers are 4-1 straight-up and 2-3 against the spread as a home favorite, and this is the first home game against Colorado since 2018.

- Nebraska is 3-5 with the OVER at home, and 5-8 overall under Rhule, which means a potential shootout might not happen. Then again, Colorado games are 7-6 with the OVER. That number drops to 2-4 on the road.

Three Things to Watch
Can Nebraska slow down Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter?
The Blackshirts certainly didn't do that last year. Sanders completed 31 of 42 passes for 393 yards, two TDs and no INTs. Nine different Colorado players caught a pass, and Hunter and Jimmy Horn Jr. combined for 11 catches for 37 yards. Sanders' timing with those two receivers is even better this season, and he ranks ninth in the FBS with 13.1 yards per attempt.

According to Pro Football Focus, Sanders was 5 of 8 for 194 yards and two TDs on passes of 20 yards or more. He has been uncanny at extending plays and delivering on those vertical shots, and those can be a difference maker against the Huskers. Nebraska defensive backs Rahmir Stewart and Malcolm Hartzog had interceptions last week. Can the Huskers' defensive backs make plays when Sanders is in scramble mode?

Hunter had seven catches for 132 yards and three TDs in the opener. Will he be the one to make the game-changing plays on offense? If so, then Nebraska will be in trouble again.

How will Dylan Raiola handle Colorado's pass rush?
Raiola is a potential program changer for Nebraska. We've heard that before but this time it feels very, very real. The five-star quarterback was impressive in his debut with 238 yards, two TDs and no interceptions. He averaged 8.8 yards per attempt.

Raiola also threw the ball down field well in his first start for Nebraska. The Huskers trusted him on third and fourth down. On passes of 20 yards or more, Raiola was 2 of 5 for 80 yards and two TDs. He was 5 of 7 for 31 yards against the blitz, and he will have to be careful against defensive backs such as Hunter and Shilo Sanders who will gamble and try to jump routes. If Colorado can get pressure – and they had two sacks in Week 1 – it will be interesting to see how Raiola reacts in those circumstances.

Will Nebraska flex the running game?
Remember when Colorado-Nebraska used to be about the triple-option offense and running the football? Yeah, those days are gone, but that does not mean the running game won't be a significant factor in the outcome on Saturday. Nebraska supported Raiola with a balanced rushing attack that amassed 223 yards on 4.7 yards per carry in Week 1. Emmett Johnson (8 carries, 71 yards, TD) led that attack, and the Buffaloes allowed 157 yards in Week 1.

Just like what plagued them last season, Colorado also still can't run the ball. They had just 59 yards on 23 attempts in Week 1. Last year, that inability to run the ball didn't hurt the Buffs. This year, it will.

Stat That Matters: Turnover Margin

Which quarterback protects the football? Sanders had an unlucky interception against North Dakota State, but the Buffaloes have done an excellent job of protecting the football under Deion Sanders. Colorado had a +9 turnover margin last season (20 turnovers gained, 11 lost) and that was during a 4-8 season.

Nebraska was -17 last year (14 turnovers gained, 31 lost), and Rhule harped on throughout the season. The Huskers committed one turnover and were +1 in Week 1 against UTEP. If Raiola can protect the football at home, then Nebraska will be in good shape.

PREDICTION
Both teams have improved ahead of what will be a perception-altering game. Colorado is trying to maintain September momentum, and Sanders and Hunter will be a challenge for Nebraska's secondary. Nebraska appears ready to at least contend in the Big Ten around Raiola, and this would be confirmation in another Rhule rebuild. What is different this year? Raiola can protect the football better. Nebraska had four turnovers in last year's loss. This year they will have just one, and the running game will dictate the tempo much like North Dakota State did in Week 1. Sanders will flash with Hunter again, and we still like the Buffaloes to cover the number. The ultimate sign of progress? Nebraska wins a one-score game.

Final Score
Nebraska 34, Colorado 26

After that half are these kids stupid or what

Wasn't a very good 2nd half, plenty to fix. But we sent prime home with a loss. Love hearing the pouty whining from sanders and Jr bling. GBR!!!!

I know it is only Monday but I am too excited for this game not to start this thread.

I see a close game. But the home field night game atmosphere is huge.

Nebraska 31
Puffs 24

IMHO. The Worst TVGuy ever. Seems lost at every turn.

Midway through the second quarter till now this crew has been awful!

Lost to NIU at home

Even with the biggest screw job ever on NIU by the ref spotting the ball short of the 1st down for NIU they still got it done

That’s targeting

I’ll save you some effort and I’ll go ahead and grade the special teams for you…. Big fat fvcking F! These turdes will lose a game for us.

Not good, Matt Campbell’s star has fallen, was the poster boy for big time jobs 3 years ago…..silence since.

Could be playing a lot better

Shut them down here and it's OVER!
Wish we would have shown better on offense but 0 of those bad unmentionables was a great thing.

14-6 in the 3rd

Showed up tonight and in full throat. Salute.
