Bye Week
Oregon
Washington

In the 1990s, Nebraska lost just three home games. While few programs have won 100 games in a decade, Nebraska is the only one in NCAA history to do it in consecutive decades.

We could yet achieve dead last place in two weeks with a little help. That would be an NCAA first. Finishing in 18th place. Never done before I’m sure.

There can’t possibly be another fan base as loyal (or dumb) as us in either pro or college football. The Coliseum located in mammoth Los Angeles had thousands of empty seats, which would be expected anywhere but in Lincoln given the two teams playing. Yet there were tons of NU fans at that meaningless game. Oh yeah, that’s what I think of the hallowed search for 6 wins. Meaningless.

Out here in sunny Los Angeles for Nebraska-USC (aka the Sword Fight of Disarray). If you tap the attached photos, they should hopefully show up.

Matchup
Records: Nebraska (5-4 overall, 2-4 Big Ten) at USC (4-5, 2-5)
Time: 3 p.m. CT / 1 p.m. PT
Spread: USC -7
O/U: 50.5
TV: FOX
Streaming: Fox Sports App
Listen: Huskers Radio Network (LINK)
>> Huskers are 1-2 on the road, 4-2 at home
>> Trojans 3-1 at home, 0-4 on the road
>> Betting line has moved two full points, opened at USC -9 but is -7 two hours before kickoff

Predictions: Players of the Game + Final Score
Offense: A running back, pick any running back, but I'll go with Emmett Johnson
>> In our Midseason Bold Predictions on Oct. 13, my main pick was for the Huskers to net their first 100-yard runner at RB since Anthony Grant in September 2023 (Grant was their lone 100-yard RB in 21 games under Marcus Satterfield at OC) and predicted that they would do it against USC. So, I'm running it back and sticking to it: Nebraska gets its first 100-yard RB. If it's going to be anyone, it's most likely going to be Dante Dowdell, but I'll go more outside the box and pick Emmett Johnson to finish with a career-high 18 carries for 106 yards + Dowdell gets a goal-line TD.

Defense: Marques Buford Jr.
>> It was nearly this same time two years ago (Nov. 19, 2022) when Buford went down with a devastating knee injury on what I believe was Wisconsin's second offensive play of the game. Just a gut feeling shortly before game day that he'll play well today and snag his second INT of the season with a return of 34 yards.

Final Score: Nebraska 27, USC 21
>> Why change right before kickoff? Let's hold steadfast.

Simple as that

Both just completely dogshit if you call them 30-40% or the time. Granted some of them are check downs, but we’re missing guys that are open on those check downs as well. Just not good enough.

LINCOLN, Neb. - The No. 2 Nebraska volleyball team picked up its 40th straight home win with a 25-12, 25-17, 25-19 sweep of Indiana in front of a crowd of 8,727 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center on Saturday night.

Harper Murray had 10 kills, eight digs, a pair of blocks and an ace to lead the Huskers (26-1, 16-0 B1G) to their 23rd win in a row. Merritt Beason and Andi Jackson each had eight kills, with Jackson hitting .636. Rebekah Allick posted five kills and hit .455 with five blocks, and Taylor Landfair chipped in five kills. Leyla Blackwell and Lindsay Krause had four and three kills, respectively, in the third set.

Bergen Reilly had 35 assists, seven digs, three blocks and two kills, as the Huskers hit .324 in the match.

Lexi Rodriguez had a match-high 15 digs to help Nebraska hold Indiana (12-14, 5-11 B1G) to a .056 hitting percentage.

Nebraska had three aces and five service errors, while Indiana had one ace and five service errors. Kennedi Orr had a team-high 17 serve attempts, including serving a 12-0 run in the first set.

The Huskers had more kills (45-29), digs (49-43) and blocks (6-4).

Set 1: Trailing 6-5, Nebraska went on a 12-0 run with Orr serving to take a 17-6 lead. Landfair had three kills, while Allick and Reilly combined for three blocks. Two kills by Beason and one each by Allick and Murray made it 23-9, and kills by Jackson and Murray finished off a 25-12 victory. NU held Indiana to -.091 hitting in the opening set.

Set 2: The Huskers took the early lead with a 6-1 spurt that made it 10-5. Murray had a kill and an ace in that stretch. NU led 12-7 when Indiana scored a 5-0 run to tie the score at 12-12. But Beason answered with three kills and Murray added one to reclaim a 16-12 lead for the Huskers. Jackson and Murray tallied three kills to get to 21-15, and a block by Landfair and Jackson made it 23-15. A Jackson kill earned set point, and Allick put the set away, 25-17.

Set 3: Krause got NU on the board with a kill, and a 5-0 run keyed by two Murray kills and one from Jackson put NU ahead 10-5. The Huskers led 15-8 at the media timeout after kills by Jackson, Blackwell and Murray. Krause recorded a pair of kills to take the Huskers to match point at 24-18, and the Huskers won 25-19.

Up Next: Nebraska visits the Iowa Hawkeyes next Wednesday at 6 p.m.

What the F are you looking at? Has there ever been a more blatant PI?

I can't stomach the prima Donna anymore! Bench his ass.

I'm more excited about this than I should be. Who else?

...and I got Tyson

You??

GOOOOOOO

BIIIIIIIGGGGGGG

REEEEEEEDDDDDDD!!!!!!!

Tried to look up what percentage of the time a team with a pick 6 loses.

Not a lot of data. Found one article suggested they win 87% of the time

All right, then.

Postgame instant analysis, reaction & additional notes on USC 28, Nebraska 20

We would be 7-1 right now if Raiola had not overthrown wide open receivers in the end zone against Illinois and OSU. Complain all you want about other issues, but we really would be 7-1 had he made those passes. He has also overthrown open receivers on long passes which were not in the end zone. It only underscores that he is talented but still a work in progress. He has been very good but certainly not a freshman phenom. I think Adrian Martinez had a better freshman year than Raiola is having.

Patience.

Was at the game and the feel in the crowd was we need to go for it there. Called timeout to do a half ass try to draw the offsides which was not going to work

Not loving DR body language

I wish we had that guy. Should win the Heisman.

We really haven't had superior talent to 3/4 of the teams we've played and it shows.

Did not get postgame presser video of Rhule (most important to get...sucks, I know)

Did get video of the three players who spoke: Dylan Raiola, Emmett Johnson, Ceyair Wright

I'm willing to pitch in... Rhule needs to accept the fact he is not good. Give the other QBs a chance.

What happened there? How did he flame out?
