Ew, a little much I think. Does PSU have a 260lb RB like St did?

It's @ Nebraska.

Even so I expect that spread to settle in the 5.5-6 range.

Their offense is better than Mich St.
Their defense is nothing to scoff at, but not quite as good as Mich St.

MSU's gameplan was pretty much flawless. I applaud them for that.

I don't think BOB will be nearly as prepared.

 

[Brasky]

That's not a knock on him as a coach, I just don't think he has any idea what he's getting himself into coming to our house.

Ya 5-6 range is cool, 8+ is enough to motivate a team for a surprise attack. PSU is playing the best out of that division right now, according to me.

McGloin is disciplined at securing the ball with only 3 INT's on the year (Tied for 8th w/10 other teams)

Penn St has only lost 5 fumbles (tied for 20th w/9 other teams.)

In takeaways they are 20th in fumbles recovered and 68th in INT's.

14th in overall Turnover Margin.

Ahh, finally a game which Nebraska has the edge in nearly every category.

Penn State's strength on Offense is in their ability to throw the ball......Nebraska is #1 in the country in Defensive pass efficiency, allowing opponents to complete only 46% of their passes on the season thus far.

Penn State is pretty much atrocious running the ball......that's good for us as we have been pretty up and down at stopping the run......

On the other side, Nebraska's Offense is far too multiple for Penn State to handle. Braxton Miller ran wild on them just as he did against Mich State.......Taylor will find yards on the ground as will Abdullah. Because of that, the passing game is gonna be there whenever we need it.

Huskers large in this one at home......

Nebraska - 34
Penn State - 13

Huskers are 8th nationally in Pass Efficiency Defense

Huskers are 8th nationally in Pass Efficiency Defense

and number one in our hearts.

Terry Joseph is the guy for the job. Clearly.

K.....well I meant to say pass completion percentage then.....

We are #1 in that category at 46%.

 

[Brasky]

Nebraska is 5th in team passing D.

Joseph is doing a good job back there.

NU's soft spot is up front against the rush and in getting pressure on the QB.

There is a reason Neraska is ranked so high in sacks.....

It be called coverage sacks....en sech

Look again.

NU has lost a lot of ground in the sacks and TFL categories over the last few games.

The coverage is there yes, the penetration is not.

 

[Red_Alert]

NU's front 7 plays on it's heels.

AGAIN.
