TCU's defense sucks ... NU HAS a physical and fast defense .... that'll be the difference in this game ... we'll pound the rock on them and Sims will throw more short and quick passes so I say 27-23 NU

College ball still emotional. Colorado coming off big win over a questionable defense, NU coming off winnable loss against good defense and a better offense than is being talked about. GBR

If we play good defense and run the football with controlling the clock we should come out with a victory!

I would like to believe that our D can come up big and keep their playmakers from gashing us. If we can get pressure on their QB I think we stand a good chance. Our run game should be able to churn clock and keep the ball out of their hands.

There was no D in the CU-TCU game. I see our D standing up. Only question will turnovers/penalties get us again. GBR

Game 2 and Colorado will be very cocky beating a very overrated TCU. Our defense in all essence is much stronger than TCU.

Huskers learn from 1st game and execute fundamentals better. Will up the run game against a porous D line and burn clock.

Same old sad story. Huskers will make a host of dumb mistakes and stumble their way to another loss. CU 38 - Huskers 7.

Because the team room doesn't have any talent.

In all fairness, Deion's room won't be at Colorado if they hit in the 9 win room this year. So there's that....room.

Coaching room changes but the game results room never changes. That means that the team room is the problem. No talent. Until the talent room changes the results room is always going to be the same......room.

When did room replace the letter s? RBs, TEs, QBs. RB room. TE room. QB room. OL room. Kicking room.....room room.

Or any rooms for that matter.

Buffs by 4TDs, after watching the Minnesota game and lack of offense and our Quarterback play, I don’t see a bowl game in our near future.

Our offense just isn't ready yet. The defense might keep it from being a blowout. 31 - 17 Buffs...

Not sure about that so I say using that logic it’s a tossup, though who would have thought Prime’s approach would work so quickly. Very interesting experiment.

We are thin everywhere and nearly one-dimensional on offense. Hartzog got beat badly on Minnesota's 4th down TD. Speed kills. CU wins, just because we're Nebraska.

I watched Colorado / TCU. Colorado has way too much talent, and speed. QB and receivers are out of this world. Colorado Defense is suspect which leads to Nebraska's only hope. Colorado by 30.

Even if the defense plays a good game and keeps the score close, the offense will blow it somehow. CU 34, NU 16

Yes the offense room has major issues. The defense room won't hold up in the high altitude even though they are in much better shape compared to last year's room.

The Husker offense is currently a hot mess. They will not be able to outscore the Buffs.

Because we have no tight end room. Or no room room for that matter. Why can't they just leave the room off and call it tight ends? Does each position group actually have a room?

Thumbs up or down on all-red uniforms for the HCU game?

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17
