I don't know, there is this team in Texas I'm not so sure about. Good meme though lol

Here's the thing, while this isn't likely to happen, we are on a short list of teams thato still have a chance at the CFP. Right now there are probably 12-14 teams in the country that have a realistic path to the CFP and we are one of them. And by realistic path I mean we don't need 10 other teams to lose to get in. Win and we are in, not alot of teams can say that at this point

Well we haven't lost yet so I don't know why thinking we can win next week is that big of a stretch. And it is a huge game with huge implications. Like OP explained, this is what it's all about. This is a fun time, why not enjoy it?

could have easily won 41-14 yesterday. Tommy cannot miss those opportunities going forward. If we have 2 wide open touchdown passes overthrown against Wisconsin we lose that game. I believe we will get at least one of those opportunities, and if Tommy makes Wisconsin pay we will be in great shape.

We are tied at 6 with Baylor, Ohio state is 8 in the new coaches poll

ain't that the truth. I understand why everyone in this board freaks out when we are losing at half time, because there was a time in the past you could chalk that up as a loss. So different this year. Never do I feel panicked that we are going to lose. And lo and behold we keep plugging away and end up taking over. It's great!!

The fact we are in a position to talk about this at this point in the season is great. Haven't had a season where we control our own destiny for the national championship game heading into week 9 in a long, long time.

This is why we miss Cethan Carter so much. Basically a faster offensive lineman who can shut off the edge defender to the inside

you always have a chance if your defense is pretty solid

I like our chances of going 11-1. These grind it out wins are blueprints on how to beat better opponents. We will have to use the same formula, ball control, defense, and timely scoring but that is how you win ballgames folks and this Husker team has practice

Gimme your honest opinion, JW. Who has the best shot to beat them? I'm leaning toward the "no one" answer...Washington, Clemson or Michigan for me Alabama is the best team, Michigan has the best chance to beat them followed by Ohio State. Clemson has an outside shot if Watson has one of those games. Washington has a slightly worse chance than Clemson but I think Michigan would beat either of those teams.

I predict the defense looks fantastic, our offense struggles but in the end Westerkamp makes some big plays, Tommy's legs give Wiscy fits, ozigbo pounds away at them and then newby starts to rip off chunks near the end of the game. 17-13 final Nebraska gets the victory.

I thought we got a fair amount of pressure today

I learned our defense is legit. This is a good pass offense and we smothered them in the second half

I can't wait for you to come to next week's edition of this thread saying the same thing about Ohio state after we win ugly yet again against Wisconsin

Tre Bryant

This will most likely be the most important game of the season

To be clear alot of us were saying Tommy should have sat if he was hampered by his injury. He looked good in that department today. He needs to hit those deep throws thathe are wide open though. That would help our run game tremendously

i don't see Wisconsin scoring anywhere close to 24 on usThis. Despite a few rough moments in the first half our defense was really good again today quietly. It will be a defensive struggle in Camp Randle, and if our line can get a little healthier and play a better game I think Tommy's legs could be the difference.

Easily could go pro. Secondary was rock solid besides the missed pick almost touchdown all second half

We really played great defense in the second half. If I'm not mistaken Blough was 9-25 with a pick?

They did not outplay us after the second quarter. Purdue didn't do anything in the second half. Our offense wasn't great but it wasn't awful. Fo fiddy rn

We won't make the spread but we will get close. Second half defense was great. I understand the first half was bad but this squad has a good chance next week, especially if we can heal up some

That throw was not a Yolo it was an overthrow to a wide open WR that is not yolo

I knew k Williams was going to have a great day
