After 2 days of practice, "play fast" & "making plays" are the two most common phrases I keep hearing and the defense is responding with "tremendous effort" and "results". One person went as far to say the complexity has been shelved, so far in practices this week, in his opinion.

from that same dude who gave thee quotes before wisconsin game


FWIW

The more I look at things the more I think Nebraska should win by 10+. IF they come out with a game plan of run the ball and stop the run. That's a big "if"though, considering the coaching staff's blind belief that they can do everything well.

Despite NW's Run D numbers they have played teams that don't run the ball well at all. Read somewhere today (I think ESPN) that they've played by far the easiest schedule in the B1G up until now. That and Bo's teams usually come to play after a bad loss.

In my mind this is the biggest game of the season. Win and get some confidence going into a home game vs Michigan. Lose and the wheels probably come off.

Spread opened @ Nebraska -7
Dropped to Nebraska -4.5

You took out the FCS #s?

[Jack_John_Mark]

We have faced way stiffer competition as far as Rushing Offense goes.....

Of course, I know Nebraska's rushing yards skew that a bit

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Actually we have just plain faced stiffer competition in general......

I agree with you. That's why I put the rushing numbers up.

I'm thinking Huskers 38-24 or so..

A lot of attention is being given toward Kain Colter as being the player to defend in this game.

However, Venric Mark (RB) will burn the Huskers if not accounted for. He is responsible for those punt return stats above.

He is 15th in the nation in rushing (134 for 832 yds) averaging 5.95 yds per carry, 113 yds per game and 8 total rushing TD's.

He's broken the rushing century mark 4 out of 7 games this year.
129 yds vs Vanderbilt
120 yds vs S. Dakota
152 yds vs Indiana
193 yds vs Minnesota

He is also a receiving threat out of the backfield w/ his biggest performance being vs Boston College w/ 7 receptions for 42 yds and a TD.

 

[Exorbitant]

How can we win, how can we win? Our team is so discombobulated that it's hard for me to think we can win this game.
