billdozer15 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Curious what peoples thoughts are on how bad this game against Penn State is going to get? I honestly think Barkley will set an NCAA record for rushing yards....lets just hope it doesn't happen in the 1st half. If they want to score a C note they probably could. Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Bad enough that I won't be watching. If the players aren't bothering to show up then I won't. What's sad is that other average B1G teams have done well keeping Barkley yardage down. We have no intention of doing that. It's going to be bad. Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 so bad that in the Penn State Pressers thread I suggested a Callahan vs USC 2006 game plan. This will make the 2012 B1G title game vs Wisconsin seem like a joy to watch again on YouTube. Quote Link to comment
tyrone_biggums Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I have a wedding this weekend, and for once I'm glad someone scheduled their wedding during a Husker game. I actually thanked him this morning. Quote Link to comment
RedDenver Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) While Barkley is exceptional, PSU isn't that good of a running team at 146.0 ypg, which ranks 86th in the nation, and 4.42 ypc, which ranks 84th nationally. Edited November 13, 2017 by RedDenver Quote Link to comment

Minnesota is a better rushing team at 195.7 ypg (37th nationally), and they didn't set any records. I think PSU will win easily, but their passing game is far more dangerous than their running game.

knapplc Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I get what you're saying, RedDenver, but Boneyard is right. This team has clearly quit. Penn State has never beaten Nebraska in the Big Ten. They probably see an opportunity to right some wrongs and at the same time give Barkley a chance at the all-time rushing record. They're going to do everything they can to get him 500 yards rushing. 1 Quote Link to comment

And no matter what they do, this team and staff will come away acting like they don't care, and will tell us during the weekday pressers that they are working hard in practice and think things will get better. 2 Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 We might be able to put Barkley back into consideration for the Heisman when he rushes for, literally, 1000 yards and 17 TDs on us. Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I had forgotten that PSU had yet to beat us as a member of the Big 10. Boy how have our fortunes been reversed. They go to 'death penalty' like sanctions and are now a part of the national conversation. Time to If they can turn it around so can we. Quote Link to comment

Alabama turned it around. Penn State is turning it around. Miami is currently turning around. Oklahoma turned it around. It just takes the right coach. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Penn State will be the next Top 15 team to get inexplicably trounced. Huskers W in a rout, you guys! You gotta BELIEVE! 1 Quote Link to comment
Xmas32 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 PSU isn't quite as explosive as they were last year, I think it ends up 45-10. Quote Link to comment
