Win the turnover and penalty battle, win the war. Cornhuskers play a complete game this week.

There is no doubt Ohio State is a great team with what I believe to be a significant talent advantage. I think our hope is to out hit OSU. I don't think they like getting punched in the mouth.

Main reason? Nebraska is a different team at home then they are on the road. Add in the crowd energy, night game & ESPN.... Scott Frosts first SIGNATURE win as NU coach

I'm nervous as heck
Robert Claytor
Do we ever coach defensive backs to look back towards the ball when the other team passes?
Reply
Randy Wolf
Not nervous. Practical. The Huskers have improved (Suspend the Blackshirts program until the D earns the right to be compared with John Dutton, Rich Glover, etal) but so has Ohio St. Loss #2.

I am just hoping they Big Red can hang in enough to not be humiliated by a blowout. It will require mental and physical focus to stay in the game with the Buckeyes.
Reply
Randy Weitzenkamp
I haven't seen enough consistency on offense to be confident we can hang with them.

Justin Fields is great!n He also has an excellent O Line protecting him. We are good, but not great yet.

We're going to have to play all 4 quarters. If that happens the game will be in the bag.GBR

Paul F Edwards
Because they are one of the best teams in the country and we aren't. And if we get blown out again on national TV, do you have any idea how negatively that will effect our recruiting?
Reply
They sure did!
Paul F Edwards
for the first time in a LONG TIME, it felt like an old Husker game where nearly everything went right. We were so far ahead we got to let a lot of 2nd and 3rd stringers get experience.
Reply
Daniel Kruger
They played aggressive football for 4 quarters. Their win is tempered a bit by the inferior opponent.
Reply
Scott Reed Schaefer
They took a stride in the right direction, but still need to grow in becoming more consistent in the offense. The offense was too much feast or famine. The defense definitely improved from last week.
ReplyNo, not quite yet
Randy Weitzenkamp
Did you watch the first half? We've got to improve our consistency in a hurry if we want to stay in the game next week.
Reply
John Gardner
Definitely a step in the right direction, but the offensive line still isn't able to clear the lanes in the middle and the kicking game is a unmitigated disaster. What wrong with Pickering, anyway?

Freddie Fredder
Underperforming. We suck. Should have had a top 10 offense and top 45 defense. Adrian Martinez is a psychological shell of what he was as a frosh. Do we have a deep threat ? Tight ends ? P

John R Gallu
Offense is still a little disjointed. Martinez will get there. I thought Vedral was very fluid though!
Reply
John Fillmore
I wasn't quite as optimistic as some during the preseason; I knew there was still a lot of work to do. One of my big concerns was with the inside running game. It's not there yet.
Reply
Stanley Steele
With the exception of that drive all other scores were on explosive plays. Also Martinez was under pressure most of tje night

Mark Tucker
I need to see more. I still feel that the Offense struggled to maintain consistency.

I think we will be in most of the rest into the 4th quarter and I think we can pull 2 of the last 6 out. I still think we win one we are picked to lose.
ReplyI think the Huskers will go 7-5. Expectations were a little high, but he have to keep perspective and remember we did improve last year significantly over the second half of the season.
ReplyI will be disappointed if we can't get six wins.
ReplyYes they will get six wins but this week will not be one of them. I think they will beat Indiana and the Boilermakers and lose all the rest. I sure hope I'm way wrong on this.
ReplyAt this point in the season last year, we were 0-6. This year we are 4-2. If we can stay healthy (heal up) we will snag at least two more wins making us bowl eligible. GBR!
ReplyBackups will pull the buskers through until the bye week and then they get it in gear and play more to their potential.
Reply8-4 is realistic, and with luck we didn’t have last year....
ReplyWe improved dramatically as the season was past the halfway point last yeae and I believe we will improve from where we are currently at this year. GBR!!
ReplyHuskerts will play in the big 10 championship
ReplyYES I HAVE NO DOUBT GO BIG RED
ReplyThe Huskers will find a way to win at least two more
ReplyThere probably won't be any blowout wins, but the team is good enough to get to a bowl this year. If we'd have had Pickering at Colorado, we'd already have 5 wins.
