All of us have been waiting for NU to play their best games against their best opponents for a long time now. This week is time to take the next step. Winning this game will springboard into B1G play and this team will have the early season confidence and swagger that is huge to put away the demons. These coaches know this Oregon team and they have the horses to match up better than probably any time in the past. The crowd will play a big part in this game and NU will need to really come out smokin and get up early because it will more than likely turn into a barn burner. Special teams are scary, but I think DPE comes up with big play in PR game and Drew Brown makes some big kicks and NU wins this game 37-31.
