Look at Trev just rolling through this interview despite Bruce Smith just biting it mid-sentence

And I still haven't heard him say anything I disagree with.

Sounds robotic these days.

I know I know...but the results of this game will have the biggest impact of any game over the last 4+ years (IMO). I think if we win it will have a huge impact and we can possibly finish the year 8-4. If we lose however, it will have a huge impact the opposite way and I can see us finishing 5-7. More than likely it will be somewhere in between both of those predictions, but if we win this game we go bowling! When is the last time we had a game to determine that? (Frost's second year vs. Iowa BTW) If we win, the monkey is off the back and every following win is gravy and moving into higher tiered bowls..Therefore, my "biggest game of the last 4+ years" nominee.

In case you missed any of our NEB-MSU preview coverage, here’s a one-stop roundup of our top reads from the past week:

Just watched this.... MSU didn't get a 1st down until there was 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter

Blackshirt defense should feast

This off season will be real interesting going forward with current rising Star Tony White. Currently he's tied at twentieth Nationally among Defensive Coordinators earning a cool $1 mil a year.

For comparison, Satterfield is currently our highest paid assistant at 1.4 mil..

Hopefully Coach White holds tight, enjoys his much earned raise and somewhere down the line can take his pick of a Power Five Head Coach position.

$2mil next year??

"Show me the money!"

Anyone have any links or info on this? I’ve been unable to find anything. Thanks in advance.

Same exact throwing motion!

More predictions? More predictions!

What are your thoughts?

Wyoming -6.5
Notre Dame -3.5
Indiana +9.5
Dare I say the Iowa/NW Under?
Penn St -8.5
Washington -3
Beavers/Buffs 62.5 Under

Greg Smith?

The Frost effect has turned many of our fans into pussies. 4 things that I've seen more than once on here that need to be exorcised out of our fanbase.

1 - Fans that are worried that Rhule is leaving. I've seen worried posts that Rhule could go to Penn St or Texas. He wants to be here, he chose to be here, his family wanted him to be here. He's well paid, gets along with Trev great and is doing what he loves to do. Everything he does is for the long term sustainability of a successful program. He's not looking to leave so stop worrying about it any time Franklin is talked about.

2 - Fans that are worried that White is going to leave. He probably will, sometime. Rhule develops coaches as well as players. He's said it and shown it in the past. The defensive success isn't all on White, it a collaborative effort with Rhule and the assistants. White likes it here, he had other offers and chose to be here and to coach under Rhule. This wasn't a one year thing, at least 3 years or he wouldn't have been brought in. He's having fun, enjoying his job and the people around him, it's easy to see during his press conferences. White loves coaching and likes doing it under Rhule and with these assistants. He isn't leaving for another DC job, he likes it here is well paid with a raise upcoming. He will most likely leave at some point for a HC job, but that is years down the road and a good thing.

3 - Fans that want 3 gimme nonconference games. Have some ****ing pride in the team and faith in the coaching staff. We don't need to schedule patsies to get wins, we are building a team that will get the job done. Yeah, we need 2 annually to get 7 home games. The last one should be a marquee game. A game that garners national attention, a game that excites players and fans a game that recruits want to visit for and dream of playing in. If we are relying on a third gimme game to get bowl eligible then we don't have the right HC. Schedule a game that matters if we want to be a team that matters.

4 - Fans that are worried about the new conference schedule. Frankly it isn't going to be any harder for us. Under the old schedule model cross division match ups favored marquee games. That's why we played tOSU, Michigan and Penn St more than Northwestern did. The conference wanted more big games to draw tv audiences and Nebraska even when we suck draws eyes. The new model isn't skewed like that. The new model has a protected rivalry against Iowa and then we play everyone else equally. We will have approximately the same number of game against top playoff contenders as we have had in the past. We will play everyone half the time, 2 to 3 times every 5 years. It will be about the same number of top teams annually, just different teams, instead of tOSU and Michigan 3 out of 5 years. There will be some tougher years depending on how teams trend and also some easier years, but it won't be significantly harder overall than what we have had.

Frost is gone, rearise the expectations. There will be some growth to get there, but Rhule is building a quality program. The shadow of Frost that effected the program for more than 5 years is gone. Quit being scared of losing coaches, Nebraska is a great spot for a coach to be. Quit being scared of opponents, they are opportunities to show what we can do and what we are about. The players were scared, they showed that against Michigan and Rhule immediately beat that out of them with a physical Sunday practice. It's time the fans stop being scared. Put out the flag, wear the hat and sweatshirt out in public. Be proud of who we are and enjoy the climb to national relevance. The coaches aren't scared, the players no longer are, it's time that the fans aren't.

Nebraska at Michigan State Preview and Prediction
by Pete Fiutak, CollegeFootballNews.com

Nebraska (5-3) at Michigan State (2-6)
Saturday, November 4 - 12:00 PM (ET) - FOX Sports 1

Why Nebraska Will Win
Very, very, very quietly, Nebraska has won three straight and five of the last six games as it moves into position to be one win away from a bowl game. Even crazier for the program that struggled over the last few years, it's deep in the mix for the Big Ten West title.

How is it happening? Defense, defense, defense. Michigan was able to rip off rushing yards in chunks, but that's been it. No one else has been able to get to 100 yards on this bunch, the nation's fifth-best run D.

Michigan State's running game was able to move a big against Minnesota last week, but it has yet to get to 170 yards on the season and doesn't have the passing attack to make up for it. The team needs Nebraska mistakes to pull this off, and .........

Why Michigan State Will Win
.....Nebraska will be more than happy to give away the football.

That part of the equation hasn't stopped. It was bad to start the season, the mistakes stopped for a little bit, and then they picked back up with nine giveaways over the last three games. The team was able to overcome them with great defense, but Michigan State will get its opportunities.

For all of the problems the team is having, it's taking the ball away. Three takeaways against Minnesota, three against Rutgers, and at last one in every game. Now it's up to the offense to stop doing its part to feed into the problems -- the MSU turnovers have to stop.

The O didn't commit to the ground game against Minnesota, but there were a few good moments, the line hasn't been bad in pass protection, and if there can just be a few early scores and some positive momentum, the O should be able to take care of everything else.

Basically, Michigan State needs a repeat of the Rutgers game, only without the collapse.

What Will Happen
From 1969 to 2003, Nebraska was a regular on the bowl game circuit in a time before there were a gajillion post-season exhibitions to play in. The idea of the Cornhuskers not being in the national title mix was unthinkable, much less simply going to a bowl game.

This program hasn't been to a bowl in seven years?! The drought since 2016 will end here as the Husker defense holds up late in a low scoring fight.

Michigan State, once again, will have its moments and opportunities, and it'll all collapse.

Prediction
Nebraska 20, Michigan State 16

Spread
Nebraska is favored on the road by 3 points. The O/U is set at 34.5 points.

It's about time.

Looks like that push Trev Alberts said in September that he has been making to get the Huskers a conference home opener came to fruition. Huskers will open Big Ten play at home for the first time in seven years as the league announced its 2024 schedule this afternoon. More details and full schedule in the article link:
