And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Dana, and Hell followed with him. And power was given over the over the four quarters of the game, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

I heard the deal is done😃👊2 years

PSU takes first set. NU 19-12 second.

If Tony has it in him to get rid of his 4 man front for a week (this is my biggest beef with him other than allowing Gifford to still play) and add Van Poppel and jeudy, etc in a 5-3 standard front with Cover 1 in the back, then we should be good to go.

Front
Have to play a base 5 man front. Weak side B gap will be critical against Iowa and we need Van Poppel in there FAR more than we need a Will gapped out there. Can move the N between 0T and 1T if you think you see something or just want to make it harder on the C to chip and release.

I promise you we need a kid in weak side B more than we need a second safety (looking at you Gifford) in a C2 pre snap look.

Only cute things we could do is slide a “side” over a gap/half gap pre snap to mess with line calls. Talking about a 3T to a 4i at most. That’s it. Rarely. We can play with these guys in base 5 man front. We have the horses to bet them up front. But we need bodies. Can’t do it with 4.

LBs
Widen your second level (LBs) to help in pass support on slants etc. take away the easier stuff in the alleys.

Secondary
Play C1 with the corners 7x2 outside shade. They don’t run anything deep. You will know what they are doing before they hit 6 yards. And they don’t attack the outside edges so keep it in front of you and break early. QB will set up quick. Every once in awhile go 5x1 inside and play C0 and roll the dice on their weaker WR side.

Summary
This isn’t that hard. Iowa is good at what they do but we CAN’T allow them to zone block us with a four man front. TyRob is the best DL we have had since Suh. He’s better than Crick - All American level. Nash is so solid. All conference kid. And that’s saying a lot. But they need bodies. Tony has to just trust that our average secondary in spots (not looking at you Ceyair) is still better than Iowas WRs. They are. We can’t get killed by 1000 paper cuts tomorrow.

Our success will be determined by Tony White putting more than 4 on the LOS. Watch for it.

We play 5+ on the LOS and play responsibly in the back and we stuff them up front and win by 20-7. Maybe 27-7

GOOOOOOO

BIIIIIIIGGGGGGG

REEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

Thanks.

UPDATE

FINAL:
#4 Penn State def. #2 Nebraska in four sets (25-21, 14-25, 25-22, 25-23) in another Top 5 battle in the Big Ten. The Huskers (28-2 overall, 18-1 Big Ten) see their 25-game win streak halted by the Nittany Lions (29-2, 19-1) on the road in Rec Hall.

• Set 1: Nebraska took 13-12 lead but never led again. Cut a three-point deficit to 19-19 but lost 25-21
• Set 2: Huskers took 15-7 lead and never looked back en route to 25-14
• Set 3: Nebraska cut a late four-point deficit to 21-20 but faltered in loss of 25-22
• Set 4: In a set that had 16 ties + 5 lead changes, Huskers took their last lead at 19-18 then tied it at 20-20 and 21-21 before losing 25-23

Nebraska had an opportunity to capture a second consecutive outright Big Ten championship with a win in Happy Valley tonight. But the Huskers will need to beat Maryland (14-16, 5-14) on the road tomorrow (6pm CT on Big Ten Network) in order to secure a co-B1G title with Penn State.

Which Huskers made the 74-man travel roster for Black Friday? Here's an unofficial list from the Inside Nebraska crew of who we saw during pregame warmups:

Have all decided to opt out of the bowl game. Suck it Badgers. My most hated BIG Team.

couple things,
1. I questioned why no Nebraska reporters asked rhule why dana was in Lincoln....????
2. if dana was onboard last January, we would have probably won Illinois and ucla possibly usc (although the refs are probably usc fans like mich and osu)
3. the fact that rhule asked dana in january means he was not just thinking bout his buddy sat. (more like thats all he had at the time)
4. the feild goal and kicking has come around, someone added 1+1 = barney should return kicks (so besides tackling on kickoffs and punts is foley still in the dunce corner? or is rhule shopping?)
5. the secondary guy apparently has a nfl deal that takes time to grasp so he will be around. ((need 1 lock down db from portal)
6. the lb coach will be round (need portal help/speed)
7. the dline coach will be round (need dl from portal to play next to van poppel guy)
8. all things considered rhule is doing ok and we should'nt complain too much (1 to 2 days after a defeat is ok)
9. beat iowa... they got a good rb, need to shut that down...and attack what ever weak spot we can find on Iowa's d...

Absolutely unreal

I think they might be congregating outside waiting for the head coach and field goal kicker. Yikes.

Is hot garbage this year. What happened to Gundy?

Pick up your check while you're going out the door! Wonder if he even wants to coach anymore, what a disaster game for the Pokes today. He's been a great coach for OSU with a 169-89 record, just seems like this season has gone the way of his edge for the game.

Broke into the wrong goddamn rec room. Holy shit. That's one hell of a collection. Complete with John Wick gun safe.

Is there a Husker bar in Bloomfield, CO?

Look at the speed on the young fella!

Anybody go see it yet? Just wondering if it's going to be anywhere near as good as the first one.

Last Guess the Score Contest of the seas –– ope, REGULAR season! Huskers got themselves a bowl game. How do they follow up that pressure valve release of a win over Wisky?

Who else is in for the bowl game?! roll call ...

Wow. That was horrendous, especially after getting the gift PI call.
