No, not a chance. But if they are able to manage it from time-to-time, this plodding defense will give up 700.

I'll happily be proven wrong, but that's a lot of yards for one game, let alone averaging it over a season in the Big Ten.

With the defenses we're about to face? Not a chance.

Without a solid and outstanding running game, I just don't see it. Ohio St and Wisconsin can do it because they look like the Huskers of old. We haven't learned from our own past teams.

Too many unknowns. I think 400 is doable but we don't know yet if we Manning is healthy or if we have other solid options outside of Robinson. Also will 2AM be effective and is there a good #2 RB?

Ohio State’s defense will hold NU considerably short of 500 yards— a rough start of the season that will linger longer than one game psychologically.
