Heard this last year too.Colorado scares me with the QB and WRs. But we should be able to run on them consistently and stop the their run completely.

CU will be no where near the top 25 at the end of the season. No way they will be be close to the playoffs.Here's my read on sCUm based on what I saw tonight......Very good at certain position, hell, difference makers who will keep them in a few games. Glaringly suspect at other positions and unless Slime can address that, they ain't sniffing a playoff.
Colorado will sell out to stop our run until we prove we can throw. Everyone will. Hard to run on anyone with 9 guys in the boxIf our offense sputters against this awful CU defense it will be a bad sign. Especially if we can’t run the ball effectively.
It's going to be a dogfight. We need to get them off the field. The sacks will be there for the taking. Have to get Shedeur to the ground and then not let them convert 3rd and long. I think our front 7 feasts on Shedeur.This is basically exactly what I was hoping wouldn’t happen
Hard fought game and sanders/hunter looking the part
We will have our hands full
If we can get out to a fast start, I feel Shedeur will force some bad passes and Nebraska will win comfortably by controlling the clock..It's going to be a dogfight.

This my hope too. The crowd will be electric. I doubt Shedeur has ever played in a venue that will be as loud as Memorial will be that night. And so if our defense can get pressure on him I think we will produce turnovers which will only feed the crowd more. And if, as you say, we get off to a fast start on offense and get ahead ... it could be 1992 all over again.If we can get out to a fast start, I feel Shedeur will force some bad passes and Nebraska will win comfortably by controlling the clock..
I would think any major adjustments won’t be made until after the UTEP game....and last nites game is why I dont bet football, and now I am curious if the line for our game has changed?
At this point nothing has changed with CU. It is all out there on tape. Porous defense, fast receivers, accurate qb who holds the ball a long time waiting for big plays, offensive play calling that values stats over wins, a chippy team that is suseptible to penalties. No secret on how they play. No excuse for not having a gameplan that beats them.Just read some stuff on Allbuffs an it is down right comical. They really are a delusional bunch, but Nebraska better just come in and beat their ass. Agree with Horn, SS and TH are all studs. With that said, our DL is going to absolutely eat and if they don't this season is going to be a long one.
This team just needs to control its emotions and follow Rhules plan. The process is what will win the game, not going rouge because these dudes chirp and cheap shot. After watching last night we should control the trenches and as long as we can limit Shaduer, I think we run all over them and Fidone is going to get his as well. Their corners suck in rush defense as well and we need to just run it right at their asses.
With all of that said, we are a battered fan base and I will believe it when I see it. My TV will have a huge hole in it if we lose to these ****ers.
Well said, and a huge reason this game is such a barometer for where the Husker program is heading under Rhule.At this point nothing has changed with CU. It is all out there on tape.

An FCS team that's dominant year after year with a History of beating P5 schools... let's not kid ourselves, NDSU would've handed NU their Asses the last 4-5 yearsGuys, they let an FCS team take them to the wire at home. Chill out.

And we could run on them. We just turned the ball over.Heard this last year too.
NDSU missed a ton of running lanes. Their OL was actually doing a great job, but their QB and RB's lacked vision at times. I agree we are going to damage them in the pass game, but this year will be different because they will have to respect the pass game which is going to open up the run game in a big way.I think we can move the ball and score points for sure, but NDSU had more success through the air than on the ground last night.
Colorado held them to 3.7 ypc, but NDSU completed 20/24 passes for 292 yards.

Their last P5 win was against Iowa in 2016. You’re acting as if they could come to Tuscaloosa or Columbus and escape with a win.An FCS team that's dominant year after year with a History of beating P5 schools... let's not kid ourselves, NDSU would've handed NU their Asses the last 4-5 years.
Agree. Being fired up and playing out of control or relying on crowd noise is a recipe for losing. I don't want to see guys celebrating a sack on first down and then blowing a coverage for 25 yards on the first play anymore.Just read some stuff on Allbuffs an it is down right comical. They really are a delusional bunch, but Nebraska better just come in and beat their ass. Agree with Horn, SS and TH are all studs.

I think it might be a good day to have Tommie and the 94 OL on the sideline to wave hello to Sapp. Then again, it's just one game and needs to be treated that way.One thing's for sure, cu players and coaches will be all lose and confident, they will have that attitude that they expect to beat Nebraska. Sapp and Sanders know how to talk the talk and get their players jazzed up.
For Nebraska, mistakes have got to be little, if any, we'll see how polished they are Saturday against UTEP.
