Huskers have it together much more this year than the last 3. Offense has so many weapons and the O line is one of the best in Big 10. Ohio St Defense is down from last year.

Randy Weitzenkamp

.Based on nothing but Husker optimism.

Jim Firnhaber

I think the Huskers have a legitimate shot in this game due to their experience on the offensive line. Run effectively and protect the QB keep the Buckeye offense on the sideline. TOP is key.

Daniel Revas

Yes. The Buckeyes have legitimate holes on defense, at least as far as experience goes.

Matt Seiler

Experience edge will get the Huskers off to a good start in the game. Buckeyes may pull away late due to a talent gap but it'll be closer than the "experts" think 38-20 tree nuts.

Richard Stotts

i think we see AD return to form like his freshman year...close game , can we pull out a win in the empty horseshoe?

Nebraska has not improved and the Husker fans will be disappointed. Blowout loss.

James Golden

Nebraska has shown no improvement over the last decade. Why would this year be different with a large gap in quality players between these two schools?

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
