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.

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.

With 3 of the remaining 4 January games on the road, it will be an uphill climb in remaining playoff undefeated.

Terrence Smith

... and I hope I'm wrong.

Randy Wolf

Michigan.

VAHuskerFan

They r playing really well but I just don’t see them winning out in January, they live and die by the 3 and it’s gonna end up costing them, not much inside the paint game. I see everyone standing outside the 3 line wanting to shoot the 3 but no one ever inside to get rebounds, wont work against Mich

Suicide Slush Puppie

Probably not - that's expecting a lot - but regardless, what they've accomplished is nothing short of extraordinary.

Jerry Goodwin

This team is really good and they will continue to give themselves a chance in every game, but...3 of the next 4 on the road, including Michigan? That's a tough run. If they win out in January and beat Illinois at home on February 1st, they'll be #1 in the country the next day.

Roy Katskee

They are living on borrowed time.

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 🎈

SEW

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.

Brad Loseke

Different backs have skills for different situations.
