Cornhuskers vs Buckeyes Week

[Blackshirt]

This will be a tough game, I don't like our chances at the shoe late at night.

 

[Brasky]

If we win the turnover margin we will win the game. Fact.

 

[Red_Alert]

Does Ohio St have a "revenge" factor that will give them the "jitters" in the first half Saturday?

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Urban Meyer never seems to field a team with jitters it seems

 

[Brasky]

LOL he was bein sarcastic JJM.

Turnovers turnovers turnovers. That is thee difference I am tellin ya right now.

It will be the difference in every single big game we play this season.

And that makes me worried.

 

[chucksker]

Miller is injured is he not? i know he will play but he is dinged up right?

 

[Red_Alert]

Ohio St defense has 7 picks thru 5 games.

NU has 3.

I don't know how many Ohio St has dropped but Compton, PJ Smith, and Stafford dropped 3 last game alone.

Big difference between drops and getting the pick tho

He went out in the Mich St game but returned and finished. Looked like he tweeked his knee on a cut..

 

[Brasky]

Nebraska is 92nd in the country in turnover margin.

Ohio St. is 49th.

 

[Brasky]

We'd be much better though if our DB's didn't have bricks for hands and Stafford would quit going for the big hit every time and just turn around and look for the god damned motherfucking football.

 

[Red_Alert]

Compton played his ass off for 60 minutes last Saturday.

 

[Red_Alert]

Ohio St's 7 INT's ranks 15th nationally

NU's 3 ranks 70th

Our road record in big games is atrocious, casual reminder...

Care to share the statistic? Suppose that depends on your definition of "big game".

Opponent ranking? Game time? School? What was on the line?

Frankly, outside of Miller I don't see a team any better (or much better) than Wisky. Not many are giving us much of a chance here, and other than our habitual ineptitude in containing a mobile quarterback, we are improved in most areas over where we were last year. The statistical comparison I saw on Huskermax the other day gives us more of an advantage over OSU than it did for Wisky. I suppose being in the shoe should make somewhat of a difference in their favor though.

I can't predict either a win or loss on this one; I think it will be pretty close either way.

 

[Papalou]

we ve got this one in the bag Huskers 21 Buckeyes 10

however we will bve disappointed when we take on Sparty

That is all

I still like NU in this game tho. I don't know why and I'm trying to talk myself out of it.

All that stands out is it's on the road, the fumbles, and NU's history of being unable to contain mobile QB's. Braxton Miller leads the team in rushing yds by a long shot, nobody else is even close.

That's really it.

NU commits fewer penalties, has a better offense across the board, better pass defense, better special teams (appears Maher has ended the funk)

I understand Ohio St's got a good Rushing Defense, but as I said last week that the Wisconsin game would be telling about that because NU would be playing 3/4 other teams where that was their strong suit. When NU wasn't making stupid mistakes, Wisky's Rushing Defense wasn't a big factor as the game went on. Wisky had a higher ranked Rushing Defense than Ohio St.

Exactly. Well said.

Road game, fumbles, and Miller

That's all I can see.

We are going to be Urban Meyers migrane headache, he will be unable to figure our offense out and after struggling with us for 5 years he will be committed to a sanitarium
