You have to go back to 1958 to find Nebraska at (2-5). They opened up (2-6) that season before getting their 3rd win.

Because NEBRASKA

Because NEBRASKA

Seriously, I would have bet Nebraska over Wisconsin at home (Nebraska vs. Wisconsin), but I wouldn't even think about touching this one on the road (Nebraska @ Minnesota).

Well sirs.....it's a tough time to be a Husker fan right now.

I know a lot of players don't respect us, and to be honest they probably shouldn't respect some of us (nobody here on this forum, just saw some real jackasses at the game.)

But we're in a place where we can do nothing but hope for the best. I know we've called this a throw away season, but the reality of it is we need to find a week here where we turn this thing around. It should have been this weekend, but it didn't happen as we shit the bed once again.

We need to win this game and gain confidence and find a way to do something to turn the 2nd half of this season into a positive thing.....so next season can start on a good note.

I have us losing this coming weekend by about 2 TDs at Minny, but here's to hoping for the best

Pretty much a carbon copy of the Wisconsin game.

Nebraska should have a little more success running the ball against the 48th rush defense, than they did against the Badgers at 12th.
Minny has a #15 pass defense.


Not likely the Gophers will have a lot of success rushing, so they will need to exploit the #127 Husker pass defense like everyone else has.

For the Huskers to win, they still need to clean things up with the penalties and win the turnover battle.

Turnover Margin

Minnesota: 77th
Nebraska: 104th

Penalties

Minnesota: 47th
Nebraska: 124th

it will be another lose for the Huskers --plain and simple

We win if we dont shoot our feets.

Huge IF

We win if we dont shoot our feets.

Huge IF

You aren't suggesting that we'd be undefeated if we didn't shoot our feet all year so far, right?

So yer sayin' thee mighty Huskers will turn the ball over more and commit more penalties?

I'm suggesting that I think we win if we don't.
