Nebraska vs Ohio State score predictions
- Thread starter antirowboat
- Start date
OSU doesn't need style points, they just need to win out to get in the playoff.
Ohio St can pretty much name the score. Frost is in over his head. If he were smart he’d just run the ball to shorten the game but we all know that won’t happen. He will try to get cute with the play calling and it is going to be a turnover fest again.
If the score ends up being an Ohio State win by less than 17 points, it will be due to OSU coming out a bit flat and slow to start the game. If they come out ready to play, it's going to get ugly fast.
The players already quit after the Michigan game.

You guys are crazy with some of the blowout loss predictions. You need to go read some of the OSU boards. Many are nervous about this game and actually feeling a lot more confident about the MSU and Michigan games. This is a road game for them.
I really think that Nebraska is the most dangerous team - with a losing record - in the country. Yes, I realize it's been disappointing but look at your losses. 4 of the losses - against current ranked teams of Michigan, MSU, Oklahoma, and Minnesota - have been by 7 points or less. The talent is obviously there.
I think your biggest issue - at least in the games I watched - is the hot-cold play of your QB Martinez. He'll look spectacular one minute and then do something totally boneheaded the next. That last fumble against Michigan in the last minutes of the game sys it all. That was Nebraska's game to win - not lose. There's a good reason OSU fans are nervous and it comes down to how Nebraska's offense performs against their defense. This has the smell of an huge upset

It will be ugly from the beginning. We'll get a few late-in-the-game scores to make it look less ugly than it really was.
I hope I'm wrong, but I think we're prime for a beatdown.

Are you trolling the fanbase? I can assure you a vast majority of OSU fans are not worried about the upset. I personally think Nebraska will play well and probably cover the spread but that's about it.
I wouldn't listen to that. We are going to get drilled this weekend and Frost may not even finish out the year. The one hope is that Day and Frost seem to be friendly, so I doubt Day really runs it up if given the opportunity.
Was actually going to go with an even more oddball number for us. We seem to find a way to make the scoring process so fun and unpredictable.
You need to understand that the close games we played were with 6th year senior Deontai O. Williams at safety. His backup, Myles Farmer, and Ohio State's receiving corps is not a matchup I like at all. I believe he is going to be tested a lot by their WRs and ruthlessly exploited. I thought our staff might even play a different safety this week to compensate but I saw he got his blackshirt this week, so it looks like he is full go for Saturday.

Day elects to pass for 2 4th quarter TDs in the last 3 minutes of the game and says sorry to his "buddy" Scott Frost after the game. So many dejected Husker fans will have left the stadium by then that you will be able to hear an old lady shriek on the telecast during the last OSU TD.

Prediction: OSU 60 - Dead Man Walking 10
Today will be ugly. Ohio St will sit back in a Cover 2, spy Martinez and rush 3 dudes and destroy the OLine. Nebraska may have some success running the ball but OSU will force Nebraska to beat them through the air. Martinez will get torn apart when OSU disguuses a LB on delayed blitzes.
Nebraska will get worn out on defense and OSU will be scoring early and often. It will be a huge mismatch all across the board.
Someone started a thread asking whether Nebraska was close to a championship caliber team. Today they will be very close to one when Ohio St steps onto the field.

A win over Ohio State would totally save the season and certainly save Scott Frost's job if the team could ride that momentum into the final two games. Statistically, a Nebraska team at home can give Ohio State all they want if OSU doesn't bring their A game and this Nebraska team does seem to focus when playing against great opponents. But I'll say...
Ohio State 42

Looks like Ohio State is favored by 14.5 to 15.5 depending on the sportsbook. Still surprised it's that low.
Have you watched the OSU defense this year ? They're supposedly getting better but no way good enough to shut out Nebraska.
