Preach it brother!

 

[rpappy3]

I'm in.I think this team stays calm enough to weather the storm that Wisky will throw at us.

David had greater odds defeating Goliath than Nebraska has tonight against Wisconsin.

Just hope our Offensive line plays much better then last week it that happens I confident the Huskers pull off the upset beating the Badgers on 3rd down is huge.

Too many people living with the Ghost of Pelini's Past.

We should beat these guys fairly easily.

 

[tpmcg]

I hope you're right.

The ghost of Pelini must be haunting Vegas
They have us more than a TD dog

9 to be exact... But noting that they have played 4 Top 10 teams at the time and have played close games or won and we have struggled the last 3 games is more of a reason why, granted the 31 and 35 point losses in Madison doesn't help.

i agree ...Nebraska is a total wild card based on their schedule

I think many of the stats comparing the two teams present in other threads is flawed as we are comparing a Wisconsin team who has played LSU, Michigan, OSU and Iowa with Nebraska and their schedule

historically in college football > odds of winning outright when an underdog (may be more up to date data - this was last updated in 2011)

7.5-10 pt dogs >>>>> 26.4% winning percentage
3.5-7 pt dogs >>>>>> 34.9% winning percentage

Before I figured this was a loss anyways.

But to make it seem like we have no chance is disrespectful of the effort and grit this team has played with the last 11 games.

They may not be a top 10 team...but they got top 10 heart.....That gives us a chance....no matter the score in the 1st 3 quarters...we have to wait until the 4th to find out the final results.

Win or lose.....I have enjoyed the season so far and I'm proud of this team win or lose.....

 

[ExxHusker]

In the end it will come down to turnovers.

 

[jeans15]

Play with passion...that's all I ask......Win or lose...play with passion and the outcome is easier to accept.

Agreed...there are two teams playing, a tie cannot happen...so that is a 50/50 chance to win.

 

[jeans15]

Well dangit....Desmond just picked us by 2 TDs..Kirk and Fowler picked us today....after all the talk......screwed up my good karma.....lol

 

[RedSea]

Play calling. I think the teams are roughly even in talent. I think this one is going to come down to which staff can figure out what to call when.

How many have said we have no chance? ESPN?
We totally have a chance and I think 90% think so

 

[TheNewNU]

With Mike Riley at the helm there isn't a team in the country I would count us out against. Let's win!

 

[Npower]

GBR!

 

[nebcountry]

Not in a southern revival sort of way, but I do believe we will win this game. Super nice home field advantage for them, but they haven't been able to light up the scoreboard this year. Maybe some are snake bit, or hedging, which I can understand.

 

[Thor4NU]

Yes, due to preseason rankings that were terribly inaccurate the Badgers have technically played 4 top 10 teams. However, one of those teams won't make a bowl game and the other just crept back into the top 25. The real top ten teams beat the Badgers.

We might get a treat tonight and get to watch one of those "game of the year" type contests. And hopefully the team gets to do at least ten hip, hip, hoorays when it's over!

I think we are going to win too!
