I've refrained because of superstition, but who cares anymore. NU 31 - SC 30. Hohl nails a long extra point with 23 seconds left after we tie it super late and receive a bogus excessive celebration penalty.
Official Score Prediction and something oddly specific that happens

Great USC cheerleader shots (hopefully several)
We down a punt inside the 10 (twice)
Safety

17-14 Huskers
Huskers move the ball well between the 20's for most of the game.
2 Husker WR's collide head first into each other and one gets flagged for targeting.

Winning would be oddly surprising, I’ll go with that… NU wins
SC - 34
NE - 24
Holgorsen calls 3 consecutive pass plays for a 3 and out on 1 drive in the 1st half

We make their new QB look like an all pro. HH tosses three pics.

I think USC views this as a must win even more than we do. To get bowl eligible they have to win 2/3 with UCLA and ND in the successive weeks. Riley is under a lot of pressure and the QB change is indicative of that. I see this game coming down to 1) Turnovers 2) Penalties 3) Ball-control 4) Field position 5) Psychology.
I know the WL records in the Big 10 have favored the home teams, but I also think this one being in the Colosseum might actually benefit NU, especially if our fans show up in force.
USC will whip us in every phase of the game. We will show up as usual unprepared to play a competitive game followed by Rhule's usual post game blatherings about how he "did not see this coming". USC will have a different QB? Well, most likely so will we and one we have seen before. He isn't good. And we have a brand new OC who is probably not even out of his suitcase phase of moving to Lincoln. Our only hope is if the defense that played well shows up rather than the one that doesn't. Because it will take a miracle for us to score more than 10 points.
Last month I predicted Nebraska would "shit the bed against UCLA and beat USC" so I suppose I should pick Nebraska.

Buddy of mine who played for the 2010 Oklahoma State team said Holgorsen lived at a hotel and the surrounding bars the year he was their OC.
I think it will be a close loss like against Ohio State. The team has never risen to the occasion and no reason to think they do it this week.
USC 27
Huskers 21
The odd thing that will happen is we will not Fair catch ONE punt and it will be returned for 10 positive yards!
(It won’t be enough to save Foleys job though)

Oddly specific? DR throws for over 300 for the first time and Neb runs for 170+.
DH looks like a genius and DR looks like the phenom we hoped for. Momentum carries NU to win #7 next week and #8 on black Friday. As a whole the season appears to be a major success. Recruiting heats up and we flip 2 more (safety and Dline) and sign Terry.

Isn't the game at 3 or something like that? lol I don't even know.
Anyhow....

NU 14
Oddly specific. NU benches a struggling and broken DR in the 3rd quarter and the end result is HH throwing a TD pass and a pick 6 in the 4th.
Ha.. yeah, I didn’t know either but it’s at 1pm my time. Should be 63 and sunny tomorrow
As for a prediction, USC likely wins but who knows. If we can contain their star WR we have a shot. They have a new QB starting as well so who knows.
A stab in the dark… USC 30 Neb 21

Oddly, Rick Majerus lived in a hotel his entire time he was coaching University of Utah. I have a friend whose dad and mom were cordial with each other, but there was too much drama when they lived together so his dad always had a room at our local motel.
