Similar spread last year too in fact i think osu was favored by 21 last year at their house. These guys will be pumped for the night game.. i believe they can win!
I think the early line this summer was Ohio State -6. So this line shows how impressive Ohio State looks and how disappointing Nebraska looks. But for some reason, they didn't want to move it too far. It may be due to how badly we beat Illinois in the final stats.I would have guessed a -21 to -24 opening line.
This one is begging for Nebraska money. Could be closer than everyone thinks. GBR
Ohio State game will definitely cover 18 points. This is going to be a beatdown for the ages.
You sound like the Illinois fans all last week...
But one things for sure, Ohio State won’t spot us 3 turnovers and 21 points. We’re going to have to earn every inch against those guys.
For some reason (not due to game day) this game reminds me of ‘07 USC. We have a punchers chance but I’m expecting us to give up 45+ points.
When was the last time our kicking situation was this bad?
Remember when 4-8 Nebraska went into Ohio and gave them a hell of a game as 22 point dogs?
At home, night game, memorial rocking, I think we cover and if we don't kill ourselves with turn overs have a punchers shot at taking it. Remember Ohio has played no one besides Illinois, so this will be their best test.
So debbies, let us not get down. Show up, be loud, wear red and hopefully we do what the media thought we could do coming into the year.
I don't buy it. They were coming off a loss, had a bye week, and were listening to doubters all week and then they came out and nearly lost to us because we played our best game of the year. We just beat a team on the road with -3 in turnover margin, -70 in penalties, and minus about 300 in the kicking game but we were +400 in yardage... we have the talent to beat OSU if we play well and get some bounces...like we have to be +2 in turnovers, have to get some huge plays, and need to keep the score low because our kickoff game is awful...the yardage that is siphoned from us in kickoffs makes my hair fallout. I believe we had a look ahead game against Illinois and still won...OSU is likely to take us less seriously this year than last to be honest so I think we keep it close. Their qb has no experience in close games, and ran away from his last gig...great talent but there is no evidence yet that he can play well with pressure.Not necessarily. I think Ohio State is better this year than last. I also think they just played a poor game against us last year. Took us too lightly. They won’t this year.
OSU has circled this game all off season. I can assure you they're taking it very seriously. If anything, OSU took Nebraska less seriously last year and it almost cost them. This time Nebraska has their full attention.I don't buy it.

Amazingly I think Ohio st is actually better than last year. I think we are worse at this point vs when we played them last year. I agree I want to be positive, but I am a very realistic logical person and everything is pointing to this being a blowout.
Is the -15 the halftime spread or the final score?
OSU fan here - This match up/spread concerns me. Nubs looks like it has some very good skill guys on offense with the potential to burn OSU for big plays (which often happened last year but has not recurred this year due in part to weak competition). Nubs appears to be highly mistake prone in terms of turnovers, penalties and missed opportunities but I think they also have an extremely high ceiling compared to most of the BIG. If Nubs puts it all together, they can play with OSU or even beat them. However, if the mistakes persist as seen at Colorado/Illinois, OSU could run away big.
Yep, their offense is always lethal but like you said, it's their defense that's the difference from last year. With that said, however, they haven't played anyone yet in the atmosphere they'll be in on Saturday night. Not sure which way to bet on this one but the game should tell a lot about both teams.Last year's OSU defense was horrible and the entire defensive coaching staff, other than DL coach Larry Johnson, were replaced by Day. The defense looks much improved, but the Huskers are going to be the first real test of the year for them.

I believe is OSU is going to win decently easy, but NU can make it a game for awhile it will be a huge benefit. The crowd is going to be amped early and if we score or get a few stops that crowd is going to be nuts.
