Woody Tressel Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am not so sure Ohio State can beat Nebraska. I truly believe this will be a close game, but I am not sure who the winner will be. We really have issues with our Defense and offensively we are still adjusting to a new system. Right now, we are undefeated for a few reasons and they are Braxton Miller and Urban Meyer; it is not because we are loaded with talent that is for sure (we have good talent, but do not have elite talent outside of Miller). Nebraska if they can throw the ball will give our secondary problems. Nebraska does what they do well, find ways to win. Rex will also run all over us I have a feeling, we did not have an answer for Bell either. I hope it will be a great game, but it makes me nervous. Quote Link to comment

Just the four horsemen(Bell, Turner, burkhead and martinez) and a few other excellent offensive players. OSU should be the toughest, best team we play all year. It will not be easy to win the game. It is not impossible to win, though. We always have had trouble with mobile quarterbacks. good luck Quote Link to comment

Great games make great conferences eventually...should be interesting next Saturday for sure. Quote Link to comment
2ndNnine Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ameer is the one you need to worry about. OSU will probably win unless miller manages to hurt himself again. we have a history of taking huge dumps on the road. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 It's a primetime game at your house. We do not play well in those spots. Hell we struggle with the spotlight at home. I would only worry about how much money to bet on OSU covering the spread. Quote Link to comment
Cornhusker-N-Texas Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ameer, brion, etc,etc, etc. I think we should do like the early 90's and make a few of these athletes corners and safeties. They would end up in the NFL under Bo's direction. Once Osborne bought into the need for speed on "D", everything changed. Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I feel the opposite, Woody. Braxton Miller is the type of QB that gives our defense all sorts of troubles. Plus you have homefield advantage. Not the type of game that favors us at the moment. Quote Link to comment
Woody Tressel Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 I know our fans are excited about having the Huskers visit the Shoe for the first time. I hope if anyone here does come, you have a great time! Quote Link to comment
kid nickels Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I am certain that Braxton Miller will have a career game. This is one game I'm not expecting NU to win. Quote Link to comment
jaws Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Rex will also run all over us I have a feeling, we did not have an answer for Bell either. Bell only had 45 yards on 17 carries. B Miller had 3x as many yards rushing as Bell. Hyde, OSU's second leading rusher, had more yards than Bell. Not a bad afternoon stopping the nation's second leading rusher. Quote Link to comment
MLB 51 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 The OSU game is the one I have been most worried about. Miller will give us a lot of trouble. Quote Link to comment
bringonUrban Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Jaws, did you watch the game bro? Bell did nothing against us. Look for a similar defense against big red. We will scheme to stop Rex and Taylor and try to force them to beat us through the air, which worries me. I will say this though, our secondary is spotty on coverage but man can they lay some wood. Oys were jacking up those smarty recievers. Quote Link to comment
gratefullred Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Thinking about our LB's stopping Miller in space is troubling. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 OP Nebraska looked extremely talented in the second half yesterday, but they also looked significantly underwhelming and unfocused in the first half. I think that if Nebraska can contain Miller (tall order) we'll win. If we can't, you guys will win. Because I agree with you - tOSU is talented but they're certainly not elite. I think Nebraska is certainly the more well-rounded offense but Miller makes tOSU very, very good. Defensively, I don't know where that second half effort came from yesterday from Nebraska's defense but I have a feeling it's not something we'll see a lot of this year. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 What I think helps is Bo's time In the SEC he saw things like Urban's offense. We also played against a team in Arkansas State that runs a ton of misdirection plays. Quote Link to comment
