I think we could get bu++ ra@ed. I will be that guy and say Huskers win 28-24. OSU fans call for Ryan Days head.
OSU will likely get that on their own.As long as we total more than 49.5.
For a few reasons. We have the same guys who started the season and played well until the 2nd half of the Colorado game. Same offense that played well against Illinois. I think we put together a decent and consistent full game. The pressure is gone now, they know they aren’t going to be a real contender this year and people aren’t expecting anything anymore so they’re going to feel a weight lifted off and play loose. Being on the road I believe will help to get away from our fan base a little bit. Ohio state players aren’t going to take us seriously. They’ll be surprised by some of our skill players and our defensive lines strength compared to some teams they’ve played. Coaches are likely being held accountable for things like play calling issues and are being guided a little more. We have decent talent, but we try to do more than we should and little things add up. Tightening up on schemes and play calling will help. Receivers know how we are perceiving them and I think some will fight to change the narrative. I think Raiola is going to shine again. He blew us away until after the Illinois game. We know he’s better than what we’ve seen recently. I think we win or lose by 10 points or less. I think we at least play a respectable game.Why?

I also think the defense will adjust. Tony White has had a some clunkers but he seems to be able to adjust after and get his guys motivated again quickly.
I could be wrong.. we may come out and be sloppy, lethargic and get called for penalties every play and completely meltdown. We’ve done that plenty over the last 20 years. I’m feeling like that won’t be the case this Saturday.
Well… Im not putting money on it. But I won’t be surprised if it happens. If we can do decent against them and play a respectable game, the rest of the season may be promising and we may progress. If we get destroyed, it’s over.Well that’s a lot of things that all need to change in a week. Hope you’re right. But that’s an awfully long list of things
