My prediction is Nebraska actually plays well against Wisconsin next week. Probably won't win, but the Defense will again look fairly solid. Probably gonna give up 20-24 points or so in a grind it out type of game.

Our fanbase, which is beginning to hug Diaco's nuts after these past few games, will be slobbering all over themselves about how we're back to the days of the Blackshirts.

And then Ohio Taint will drop 55 points on us in Memorial Stadium and life will seem very confusing.

My outlook is worse.

Wisconsin shows no mercy. Our statue QB becomes a corpse.

Our Cavanaugh coached O line is going to look pretty silly. Tanner Lee could get hurt.
Our rush game will be more than Northwestern's, but under 100 yards.
I am expecting to see Wisconsin just line up and run straight up the middle then bring out the Achilles Heal, and Jet Sweep baby with Jazz Peavy.
Hornibrook goes 19 for 32 in passing and manages 280 yards. No INTs.
John Taylor goes for 164 yards rushing.
Fumigala(sp) goes for over 100 yards receiving.
Nebraska gets no sacks.
Nebraska gets no TFLs.

Although the last two Wisconsin/Nebraska games have been close, this time, Wisconsin wins by 20+.

Nebraska will be wondering what happened then Ohio State comes to town, and the whole world comes crashing down.

Either way, tOSU is going to do very bad things to us.

We can only hope. Though Riley doesn't sound as optimistic.
What about Kalu. Bryant? And Stille better be in there too. Even if this year is a bust he needs to get reps.
