The cards are lining up for the win

Nebraska hasn't shown all we have offensively. Environment will be great for us, tough for Michigan. Plus, I never bet on games, but was thinking about putting down $100. Didn't do it. Then a friend called out of the blue who is visiting Las Vegas, who asked if I wanted to bet. Yes! It's a sign.

David Dahlkoetter

Michigan's young QB will get rattled. our great defensive backs will do it.

Mark Rasmussen

I just rewatched 2024 CO Game. MI this year doesn't look as good as CO last year. NE this year has better offense and special teams. Defense? We handled CO and I think we will beat MI

Nebraska 28 to 14 the blackshirts shine in a great performance

Hey, a breakthrough has to happy at some point. So why not now? Time to get the monkey off the Cornhusker's back.

Not enough o line or d line

VAHuskerFan

The D line scares me and the lack of pressure on the Opposing QB is a huge concern, havent been able to stop the run against 3 weak teams so far this year and Michigan loves to run the ball, I think this game could get away from us, god I hope I am wrong

Suicide Slush Puppie

Still haven't proven that we are on that level. Inability to stop the run or get pressure on the QB will be our downfall.

Matthew Hergert

We can't control the LOS. We have no DL. We throw too much. Our best players/coaches left. And... it's effing Michigan. We ain't gonna win. Oh, and our HC is a CEO, not a game planner.

Mac Kinder

N hasnt won anything worth mentioning for near 20 yrs. And, the D-line is poor against the run and in pressuring the qb. N will be lucky to keep it within 10.

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.
