I don't even understand this question, Ohio State is a better team, a better program, and a national power. Of course I would rather see Nebraska beat them.

Grambo🌽🏈☠️😎

I hate Ohio Fn State

Bob Berg

Picked Ohio state. More national exposure. And, we'll have Iowa s number soon enough.

Paul F Edwards

Iowa won on the last play last year. Which means this year we should beat them just because of improvement. But if we beat Ohio State, that will get so much more national attention, and respect.

Lyle Martin

Ohio is the big picture, Iowa is secondary

Colbey Hicks

If you beat Ohio State you'll should be able to beat Iowa.

Rich Tatum

They have a larger national presence with the fans & media.

Duke Fredricksen

Duh!! It's not just about the west, it's about the whole conference. Take down the current king and recruiting will skyrocket.

Mauro Peterson

Big win early in the season giving the team confidence and momentum.

George Hautzinger

If you can beat Ohio State, the national press will notice.

Richard Johnson

If we get OSU, then Iowa should not be a tougher win. Besides, who cares about Iowa?

Mauro Peterson

Haha! I like that

Losing to Iowa would be a worse loss then losing to Ohio State.

Alex Perry

We need to shut their mouths!!!

Valerie Gilmore

the road to Indy goes through IC, in this case for Iowa, the Ditch Chickens will be greeted in Lincoln, time to start taking control of the West. GBR!!

Mitch Bronston

This will determine the B1G west...if it comes to this...we'll get another crack at OSU in the champ game

Arlis Bartus

Don't want to see another loss to Iowa for the next 25 years

Tom Gilliand

To get to the Big 10 playoff.

Victor Beason

I agree beat Iowa meet OSU and beat them in the Championship if I have to make a choice. Beat them both no discussion.

Steve Vastine

Iowa is the stepping stone to Ohio State. Tired of hearing them pipe up in this border town.

Randy Weitzenkamp

1. Wins in the division mean a lot more that cross division wins. 2. On 11/29, Iowa is likely one of the teams in the B1G west battling for the division title. 3. I live 2 mile from the Iowa border.

Rowdy Cain

this is a no brainer answer...... Iowas in our division, A loss to Ohios St doesn't hurt as bad because they are normally ranked higher and in a different division and we play earlier in the year.

K. L. Krofta

Nebraska needs to get back to the level where we don't even talk about beating teams like Iowa each year. This game should become an automatic "W" each year for the Huskers.

Jason Coorts

Absolutely nauseated by the string of losses to the Hawkeyes. At least Pellini could beat them. Can stomach one more loss to OSU for now.

Gus Erdman

Beating Ohio State sounds pretty, but knocking off Iowa is MUCH more important for bowl game aspirations.

Edward Massey

A must win for huskers...will be exciting to see.

Arlie Rauch

It's necessary to beat them to win the west. Then go and beat the OSU.

David Steffen

because both wasn't an option

Carl Wiest

It's turned to a nasty rivalry and we need to put a boot on their throat.

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Roland St.Denis

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

John Hoie

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Michael Hoffart

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

A B

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Passing game will click.

David Dahlkoetter

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
