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.

Red Nation will put it all together against IU !

David Cassiday

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.

Jerry Williams

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.

Because we are THAT good.

David Lenzen

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

Steve Walker

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.

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.

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.
