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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.
