Not to be a Debbie Downer...

In the last two seasons, game three has been a troublesome game. Now the DCs have video of the new offense and can make adjustments to their game plan. Let's see what DH has in store for I_wa.
If we do anything like we did Saturday there’s just too many weapons to account for. Iowa only has RB, a TE, and maybe a couple possession receivers.
 
Wisconsin was playing at home, and their offense really controlled the ball, cutting down on Oregon's possessions. They had a 10-minute drive, resulting in a FG to open the second half.
 
Oregon showed up sleepy, just like Ohio State did to us. I think the DH effect accounts for 3 extra scores, whether that be TDs/FGs or a combo.

Make no mistake, its going to be a knife fight @ Kinnick.

If we let Iowa get to 2nd & 5 on every first down and the game is over. Even with their 5th string/backup LB playing QB, they put up nearly 30 on Maryland. Couple that with White's defense having a penchant to let guys get wide open/5 yards of separation, and there is a greater than 0 chance that they put serious points on the board.

Tony White needs to commit fully to shutting down the run. Let them get their occasional plays to the TE, but do not give up the ground game. This is the type of game where he earns his contract.
 
I don't think Iowa threw a pass more than 15 yards downfield against Maryland. Play press coverage on all receivers, and bring up the safeties for run support. Make their LB turned QB prove he can beat us with a long pass. if we play 10 yards off the ends, they are capable of playing dink and dunk down the field.

Yes, for the first time in a long time I’d like to see Nebraska sell out against an opponents weakness and let the chips fall where they may. They did ok, bend don’t break, against Wisconsin in the first half, but when it was time to put the game away in the second half they gave up 2 quick scores.

That kid was playing LB on the scout team due to a need. He was a starting QB at his previous college before transferring to Iowa sooooo....yeah he was playing linebacker but it's not like he's never played QB at a college before. They don't ask much of their QBs.
