How "fast" will Nebraska score its first touchdown?

Keeping the theme of Mavric's poll here, here's another good question.

 

 

 

[Landlord]

Definitely a lot slower than the first time I scored.

Eh, I think we'll score a touchdown sometime in the next 30 years so I'd take this bet.

Today I learned it took Landlord 30 years to score and when he did it lasted “definitely” less than 2 minutes.

We are playing Akron... we may return the opening kick for 6.

Jaron Woodyard opening kickoff to the house.

I said with in 5 minutes but If we dont get the ball 1st ill miss that mark.

[BigRedBuster]

We will score on the first drive. That is within 5 minutes. 

 

Fans will go crazy but, it will look easier than what other moments of the season will look like. 

[Hilltop]

I would think within first 5 minutes is if we don't get the ball first.  3 and out kills 2-3 minutes for their possession and then we score quickly on a 6 play, 56 yard drive.  If we get the ball first, I think we will score in the first 2-3 minutes.

Assuming late first quarter means anything after five minutes, that's what I'm going with. The odds are better but I hope I'm wrong.

 

All it takes is Akron getting the ball first, putting a drive together and scoring, and then NU going three and out.

[NUance]

Hmmm, Akron.   Penn State beat them 52-zip in the first game last season. Then Arkansas-Pine Bluff drilled them 52-3 the next week.  

 

I'm thinking within 5 minutes is reasonable.

it's possible.

I said within five minutes. Too many things can go wrong for me to project a score within the first two minutes. The biggest being that Akron may get the ball first.

 

Maybe I should put it this way. I expect the Nebraska offense to score a touchdown on its opening drive.
