Huskers are gonna skull fuck Colorado. It'll be nice to see some scrubs get to play in a road game so early in the season.

PAC-12 football coming at ya!

PAC-12 football coming at ya!

That don't scurr me none. The PAC12 is the special needs kid of college football. And Colorado is at the bottom of that barrel of Weaksauce.

Bring it on Buttfellows.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

52-18 Huskers.

It's a trap! College football's most dangerous games for top 25 teams in 2019

25. Nebraska: at Colorado (Sept. 7)
There's a temptation to put Indiana (Oct. 26) on here given its place among the multiple Big Ten West showdowns, but we went with the road trip to old Big Eight rival Colorado and first-year coach Mel Tucker. The Buffs spoiled Scott Frost's debut in a 33-28 shootout last season, and expectations for the Huskers are even higher in Year 2. They can't look ahead to the end-of-the-month showdown with Ohio State.

 

[Tomhusker]

I highly doubt that the players will be looking past Colorado.
