This game falls on Fyfe! He has to play like a #2 QB at Nebraska (not like the number 3 QB at Doane). If he does that, Nebraska should win but it may not be easy. They know the Huskers are 'suspect' and certainly watched that Ohio State video like a favorite movie! Probably about 5 times - made this game look exciting for them I am sure.

 

The rest of the team has to play well but if we don't have decent 'manageable' level play from Fyfe, it will be a long afternoon. I don't think we can count on having Caleb Lightbourn 'punting' us to a Big Ten win, even vs the bottom of the league team. In fact, we need Fyfe to keep us out of a lot of ugly punt situations. We need 20 first downs and 5 TDs and maybe a couple field goals. Even IF the defense gets one TD and special teams can deliver one, that means we need 5 scoring drives. That would be about half of our possessions.

 

The defense can hold them to less than 14 (if the offense can move the ball and keep time of possession about even or so). Offensive line has to block their best of the season so we can get 4 plus yards per carry in the first quarter (not the usual 2) and over 5 by second half.
