I havent gotten to watch any Huskers games this year. So I really cant break them down. I don't understand the evaluations of the ducks. From what I've seen Prukop has shown improvement through both games he's played. The Ducks defense isn't as bad as people claim. They do their job when necessary. And their offense has looked very impressive. This will be their first big test. But they do have a lot of weapons.I expect a great game I'm looking forward to it. Oregon/Nebraska is going to be a great early game. A lot of respect for both teams for scheduling one another.
Ive got no dog in the fight. I' looking forward to a great game. And I agree I would take the over. You have to respect both teams for scheduling this match up. Its games like these that are great for the fans and he sportHere is the difference.
Oregon looked OK beating up their punching bags.
This is Nebraska with their punching bags...
What have you seen from Nebraska so far. I haven't seen them play yet?
Then you need glasses for more than one reason...
First offshore book (BetOnline) comes in favoring Nebraska by 1. Will be interesting to see what the rest of them do.
We have one of those types too...
What have you seen from Nebraska so far? I had them with a lot of potential before the season started.But the only BIG teams I've seen play so farthis season are Wisconsin and Ohio State. I'm curious what to expect from the Huskers?
I AM GOING TO GET RICH!!!!!!!!!!!
If we keep protecting the ball and forcing turnovers like we have thus far (+7 turnover margin through 2 games) we will be pretty good. Our D looks much better than last year and our O-line, while young, seems to pack a better punch than last year. Our run game has been better. Like has been said, the competition hasn't been awesome, but in recent years we've had much more trouble with bad teams than we did against Fresno or Wyoming.
How is the passing game looking? I think I heard them say Armstrong broke the Huskers TD record during halftime last night? Thats an amazing accomplishment with the huskers history at QB.
Not particularly a huge accomplishment because our great QBs weren't really prolific passers. He took the top spot from Taylor Martinez who was far from a great thrower. The passing game is decent if we can get the ball to our receivers. We have a ton of great WRs, but decision making at QB can be questionable at times. Forcing difficult passes when there are other, easier options. The OC thus far has really tried to limit the decisions Armstrong has to make, because he's just not great at it. They seem to be giving him far fewer reads this year, which has helped.
I'm expecting the huskers to establish the run. And I believe Husker OC is right. Its looking like it will be a high scoring game. Good luck next week Huskers and Ducks
As an outsider this game will be a lot of fun.And congrats to Armstrong even with the lack of prolific passers. Etching your name in the Nebraska record books. Is an honor regardless imo
Would you say the conversation has been a little cavalier?
OD started that one Im trying not to acknowledge it until its actually the day before and of. except Im going to the game and traveling Friday so i wont really post in it anyway
I scheen what you did there
