NKYHusker

Will be a big group of Husker fans watching this at a local Cincinnati bar -- I know the start time isn't ideal for you that will be in attendance, but the occasional Noon start for those of us in the Eastern Time Zone is nice.

I watched more of that than I'm proud to admit. Also, we ran a surprisingly high amount of no-huddle for a team with some serious depth issues.

Are we going to pay them another seven-figure buy? I can't imagine that. Akron already got paid, what is in it for them to come play for free a 2nd time? Nothing. I don't see any resolution that makes sense other than an 11 game regular season, and hope we can claw 6 wins out of those 11 to give Coach Frost and his staff some much needed December practice time with the young team.

That is fantastic, down to the same awful mustache.

31-10 feels about right. I think the offense will have a few missteps along the way as the youngster finds his way, and the defense has one mis-communication and gives up a big play as a result. I will have a house full of people and can't remember the last time I was so excited for a game, let alone one occurring before Labor Day.

Maybe I'm still riding some wave of optimism as the season approaches, or maybe I'm just old enough to remember what it was like to be the bully, but I think it is highly unlikely that anyone (including the vaunted Buckeyes) rolls into Memorial and pastes us. A 35 point HOME loss? Honestly, I can't even let myself get to that point on July 20th. I just don't think this Nebraska team is going to be THAT bad, I really don't.

Iowa is not a team to be taken lightly. They have a good head coach, and a very tough defense. We have struggled with good defenses this year. You dont look past Iowa, ever. Ask Michigan. Correct, and when I suggested they'd be favored over us a month ago I was roundly mocked. Yet, lo and behold, here we are and the Hawkeyes are giving points. Maybe I'm missing something, but us just expecting to roll through Iowa on Friday seems foolish to me. They can, and certainly may, beat us. Although I obviously hope they don't.

Because what else could PSU do? Not lose two games in September.

Currently -7 with an O/U of 48.5 about everywhere. Do NOT feel comfortable that the Huskers will cover that. Don't love the over, either.

Just so I'm clear, Tanner Lee can only play one season (2017), right? He redshirted in 2013, played in 14 and 15, is sitting in 16...so you get 5 to play 4, unless he gets a waiver (that would seem unlikely to me from my experience), he can only play one season for the Huskers. He would be draft eligible, if he chooses to go that route, but I can't imagine his stock could be any lower having not played for a season. Sounds like he'll play for one year, POB will back him up next year, then POB will have up to 3 years to lead the team. Am I missing anything on this?

Nebraska -8 with an O/U of 50 is now on the board in LV.

Amen. We are Nebraska, if we can't stop someone, that is on us and not them. Our kids get free school too. Good Lord, never thought I'd see the day that this fan-base whines about someone running up the score on us. Boo Hoo.

Agreed. No one really even noticed they were doing it. Wearing black? Is that still a thing? I'm not wearing red to Ohio State.

Props to the Buckeyes, really cool stuff. Man, that tribute by the band will be powerful in the stands for those of us there wearing black.

How flipping cool would it be to beat Ohio State 27-18 on Saturday. Been thinking about Sam and Brook this week...man...that would be freaking awesome!! (Yes, I'd take any win by any score)
