One must keep in mind the caliber of the Maryland team. Smallish. Still, NU had fun that day and things worked. With that as basis, study Iowa's defense and determine what can be exploited. GBR!

Don Buckingham

Frosty starts proving his worth this game. Corner, meet Turn.

David Lebsack

I think the offensive line is just starting to look good!! The defense will need to blitz way more than it has in the past. Because without the blitz Iowa will have all day to pass!!

Robert Lloyd

I will always believe our Huskers will win... and this is a perfect time to come out of their shell and build on last week's game. We have the coach, the facilities, the history, and the fans.

Ruthie Patterson

Getting Better Every Game GO BIG RED

Carl Wiest

With everything on the line, this is the big one. GBR!

Alex Perry

I believe we can do it now as my faith in the team has been restored for a win over Iowa that is tough but beatable and Purdue only lost 26-20 to them and Illinois lost 19-10.

Ken Malm

The Huskers get the win - based on the offensive output against Wisconsin. Need to play clean game.

Tom Eggerling

Just picking yes because the team can win...but historically, they don't show up for big games so I think Iowa will win, cover, and continue to chirp about 5 in a row and counting.

James Stiver

I'm hoping they can put a game together like they did against Wisconsin and if the defense can play like they did against Maryland we can win. The Huskers have to play perfect.

DrHusker66

Huskers have been playing better last couple of weeks. If we can run the ball we can beat Iowa. Gotta score in the red zone, something Iowa's D has been really good at this year.

John Fillmore

There were visible improvements in the Wisconsin game and more still against Maryland. I think they've turned a corner.

Martinez is screw-up and will never win a game for Nebraska again

dana smith

because the games over and the mighty hawkeye kick nancy huskers ass again

Mitch Bronston

Hope I'm wrong Husker fans. Just don't think we're there yet. Iowa just does things too consistent and we still make far too many mistakes. We are missing some horsepower also.

jerry williams

Man I hated clicking this side but, I just didn't think even with the big win they looked that good. A lot of weak spots.

Jeremy Woitaszewski

I’d LOVE to say they’ll beat Iowa. But, if the last ten years have taught us anything it’s the Huskers tend to flub games of substance. God I hope they play like they did against Maryland...

David Harvey

Iowa has gone toe to toe with every team they have played. Narrow losses against ranked teams. Sorry Huskers, this one will not be close. Hawks by 14.

Will the Huskers beat UCLA with true freshman TJ Lateef at QB?

There are 10 other players on the offense.

Robert Lloyd

Let Emmitt and TJ run and run and run and we'll have a victory.

James Smith

Home field advantage in front of family and friends. He will relive his high school glory HUSKERS 27 ucla 24

Die hard husker

Heart My Doghead

Mr L is from Socal, therefore highly motivated to excel...Huskers by 15

jerry williams

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17

Anything that can get the players excited and more focused plus get the crowd intensity to rise is good for the huskers. If all black uniforms, like the Famed Blackshirt defense of old lights a fire by all means do it. To upset the Trojans will take a superb almost mistake free effort cause their up

Ron Graf

I absolutely agree with Joe

Joe Putjenter

I’m hoping the emotional, hype, and excitement continues through the entire game. No let downs.

Rick Distefano

We will finally come to play with 50 visitors watching and could mean a few commits early.

N A

It could, it will ramp up the fans and students and make for a very loud atmosphere which could provide us with some helpful USC offensive penalities.

Joe Nigro

Can't hurt

George mcdaniel

It will be just like colorado but better and nebraska will win 27 to 24 my prediction

Bob Flanagan

Yes it will … But emotion only goes so far … thry still have to perform and execute at a high level

No pass rush equals easy win for the Trojans.

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately the offense and defense has way to many issues and USC is going to expose them, gonna be a route 52-13

Ted Fuller

No one on the field is looking at the stands. Ask Penn State how their white out has been working this year.

Suicide Slush Puppie

We're not disciplined enough, and USC has more talent. This game will not be close.

Mike O

The Funeral Blacks will be no better than the Surrender Whites at changing the outcome.

John Ballew

The game will be won or lost in the trenches and special teams. The color of uniforms means nothing once the game starts.

Ron Joseph

No - but the cold might more so. After the game starts the noise will be filtered out. But if our D can stop them consistently and we establish the run game & control the clock - then I like our chances
