These last two games are toss ups - none us are any good.
Huskers now 2.5 point favorite over Wisconsin
- Thread starter scarletred
- Start date
Wisconsin with a potentially good defense and unreliable offense vs a mirror image NU team makes for an interesting matchup.
Indiana is gonna get thumped and will be back to tell you I told you so! Colorado will also beat Kansas next week.
It could happen, but really, who has Ohio State actually "thumped" this year?
If the Indiana QB's finger is healed up, they're gonna give OSU all they can handle.
I do agree, CU will beat KU.
I'm not so sure. I wrote off the USC game long ago because we just don't score enough points to beat them. Wisconsin OTOH, struggles on offense so it's possible for a low scoring team to beat them. If I were a betting man I'd take Wisconsin as insurance against getting our coveted sixth win. You even get a point on that bet.
In November, the teams that emphasize (and are competent at it) running the ball win.
Have you watched the past decade plus vs supposed inept QBs? They usually have career high performance. Ha
I believe it was year 2 of Frost. Purdue had to play their 3rd string walk on QB. Huskers were up by 4 at the time late in the 4th quarter. That QB drove Purdue 80 yards for a game winning TD. Laughable
Let me be the first to congratulate Wisconsin running back Tawee Walker on what will surely be his career best and likely record setting day running the football against Nebraska this weekend.
Vegas sees something this fanbase does not. NU now favored by 2.5.
That's been the issue for quite some time. When the offense gets that go ahead touchdown in the 2nd half, what are the odds that the defense will give up a TD to give the lead right back? I wish someone with an obsession for the Huskers and statistics would research that.
And wasn't that win against a disinterested Rutgers team? I couldn't believe how easy that team laid down for us.
Well that is what the Vegas line is telling us will probably happen so it's not like you're the only one saying OSU is going to beat Indiana handily.
Mickey won his final game against the Clarkeyes.
Frost beat Rutgers in December during the Covid year if we’re getting technical.
Frost in his first year beat Illinois and Sparty in November FWIW..
Still debating whether to put myself through this game, or maybe I should turn on some music and organize my screwdrivers....
I was at that first win vs Minnesota. I thought, "WOW! We are rolling now, this looks amazing!"
Only if the players show more life than they did the last time they played at home.
Hard to believe in hindsight that his 2018 team was probably his most complete team.I was at that first win vs Minnesota. I thought, "WOW! We are rolling now, this looks amazing!"
I sort of want Ohio State to smoke IU. I really don't even know why, I don't dislike IU football at all, but I would just like to see one of those class OSU beatdowns vs IU, like they have done for years. like 42-7.
Rhule and Luke...two dudes trying to keep their freaking jobs.
the only way bookmakers can coax Wisc money.
non-public team having a bad year (them) vs public team having its usual year (us).
I was at the game and their QB is awful. I mean truly bad. Literally wide open WRs and he would throw it into the ground or over the heads by 5 feet
in before everyone calls you a Wisc lover for attending a non-NU game because you like college football
Which means he'll look like Drew Brees against Nebraska. Write it down.
I’m a football coach on the side and one of our kids committed to the Badgers and was there for another visit.
And before anyone asks, I have recently looked to push other kids to the Huskers.
We have a future D1 QB right now that no one knows about (soph that started mid season and overtook a returning all conference senior QB from our #1 ranked team in the state). His first game he went 15-20 for 365 and 4TDs against the 3rd ranked team in the state. That team had a D1 QB commit on it and the soph outplayed him.
Then told them about a current 6’4” 275lb 14 year old freshman with size 16 shoes and a soph sister who is getting recruited by Kentucky, Creighton and others. Kid is supposed to be 6’8” and can move.
We have sent kids D1 the last 5 seasons.
good on you, Bill.
I was just teasing because I went to the CU-KSU game this year and was immediately labeled a buffs fan.
pretty convinced more than half the people on here don't watch college football, just the Huskers. and why there's so much confusion with our results week after week and year after year.
Hopefully he's a dawg and a leader that inspires teammates to play better. Cuz that's nice to see or at least I heard it can be. Haven't seen anyone like that around here since.... hell, someone help me out can you?
It's because most of their fans don't deserve the season they're having.
