Ok, I have not seen one of these started yet so here goes:

Ohio State 55
Nebraska 6

Hate to predict a blowout, but that is how it looks to me. Sorry
 
I guess you do live closer to them than Lincoln so you might be a closet Buckeye fan... Winking

I am guessing you are not alone this week in a prediction like that! I am predicting the same!

OSU 48
NU 17

Not sure how we score, but hopefully we can. We will lose this game bad because our offense will not be able to do much vs their defense.

I may be in the minority but I want to see how our D holds up after the thrashing last week. With their front seven on D you.might see Tanner get killed.

I have read that their DB's are their weakness. Well, IF you have 6'5" receivers and IF you can throw to the outside and IF you have a quick release O and IF you can hold them out from killing your QB consistently for four quarters - Maybe.

Well, my father IS from Ohio. Winking
 
news this morning says possible wind gusts to 40 mph during the game. I predict 49-6 with a couple of wind aided FGs, and Diaco says he is pleased with the progress on defense. NCAA in an emergency session adopts a running clock in the second half if the score differential is greater than 35.

Since we are a power running team and can run the ball on anyone...we could use the weather to our advantage in this game against a top 10 opponent!!!

Oh wait... Winking

I'll say Buckeyes 28, Huskers 13.

Not a nail-biter, but close enough that we will get treated to the usual crackerjack analysis noting that IF those 4 or 5 catastrophically bad plays just hadn't happened, this was basically a dead even game.

Ha. Good post. But I don't see it being close. I guess you think our defense will play pretty well
 
So similar to Wisconsin?

It’s hard to say what Ohio St is. They were beat at home by Oklahoma then won games, decisively, against “weaker” opponents Army, UNLV, Rutgers and Maryland. Don’t get me wrong they are good, but when you put a chick who is an 8 next to a 4, the 8 can look like a 10. It wouldn’t surprise me if Nebraska kept it within the 10-14. I think Wisconsin’s defense, overall, is better than tOSU’s. Nebraska moves the ball on Wisconsin but couldn’t score. Even if we only score on half the possessions we had inside the 40 in the first half, it’s a different game.

I believe this is a different type of game than Wisconsin. I don’t think it’s a game where they wear us down by pounding it. They just have better athletes up and down the roster.

I hope you are right. I just have seen too many times over the past ten years or so what happens when Nebraska plays against a team with speedy and talented athletes. We usually get boat raced
