We shouldn't overlook any team, but Indiana should not be a toss-up. We should dominate.

I must admit I'm a bit concerned about this game. IU will score their points and if Nebraska's offense isn't hitting on all cylinders, it could be a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic.

IU can score on anyone, and our D has suffered huge losses at DT, has no proven pass rushers, and a back 7 that finished around 125th in pass defense. A win here will require a UCLA style gameplan, executed at a high level.

They will be better than one might expect they OSU a fight last year.

Indiana took Ohio State to the 4th quarter last year. they aren't the Kansas Wildcats and we definitely shouldn't overlook them. not in our current state at any rate.

weather is always as issue for Big 10 road games and this staff hasn't shown they can gameplan for bad weather

You cannot take any team for granted. Especially when you look at how bad our pass rush and backend were last season. We may be much improved or we may not be. IU throws well in an explosive offense. I think N will respect IU and bring their best. I think NU will win, but it is not a given.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
