Huskers have it together much more this year than the last 3. Offense has so many weapons and the O line is one of the best in Big 10. Ohio St Defense is down from last year.

Randy Weitzenkamp

.Based on nothing but Husker optimism.

Jim Firnhaber

I think the Huskers have a legitimate shot in this game due to their experience on the offensive line. Run effectively and protect the QB keep the Buckeye offense on the sideline. TOP is key.

Daniel Revas

Yes. The Buckeyes have legitimate holes on defense, at least as far as experience goes.

Matt Seiler

Experience edge will get the Huskers off to a good start in the game. Buckeyes may pull away late due to a talent gap but it'll be closer than the "experts" think 38-20 tree nuts.

Richard Stotts

i think we see AD return to form like his freshman year...close game , can we pull out a win in the empty horseshoe?

Nebraska has not improved and the Husker fans will be disappointed. Blowout loss.

James Golden

Nebraska has shown no improvement over the last decade. Why would this year be different with a large gap in quality players between these two schools?

Scott Dreas

48-7 last year in Lincoln

I dont think its a must too average over 500yd /gm. Losing 4 games by 17 points isnt too far from being 9-3.

No, not a chance. But if they are able to manage it from time-to-time, this plodding defense will give up 700.

Tony Bunting

I'll happily be proven wrong, but that's a lot of yards for one game, let alone averaging it over a season in the Big Ten.

Eric Johnson

With the defenses we're about to face? Not a chance.

Robert Lloyd

Without a solid and outstanding running game, I just don't see it. Ohio St and Wisconsin can do it because they look like the Huskers of old. We haven't learned from our own past teams.

Matt Seiler

Too many unknowns. I think 400 is doable but we don't know yet if we Manning is healthy or if we have other solid options outside of Robinson. Also will 2AM be effective and is there a good #2 RB?

Jim Traut

Ohio State’s defense will hold NU considerably short of 500 yards— a rough start of the season that will linger longer than one game psychologically.

This is Eric's third year and he needs to improve or Scott will make a change, I would believe.

Ron Joseph

Need to be able to stop the run. I think the secondary will be fine, but to give our O a chance we got to be able to get the D off the field

Paul F Edwards

Everything is trending well for this team...except the linebackers and D line. And Chinander himself...I'm not sold yet. He needs to clearly show it is the players not the coaches.

The offense really needs to improve and with the OL returning no reason not too expect big things from this offense.
