Thats where the defense comes in. But 41-38? Nah, thats a team that got beat by E. Mich. A little clearer for you now? But with the Colorado loss and the fact that Wisconsin is going to steamroll our @ss, a 41-0 Neb. win over Illinois still brings no relevancy, so no, they won't be coming. Wait? We already loss to Wisconsin. Damn news to me. Welp time to cancel the season. 3 Quote Link to comment

I think it's going to be a good game. And we have a chance to win. Crazy things happen under the lights. 2 Quote Link to comment

Next time you decide to go off the grid maybe don't go so far off. And since you apparently didn't watch the game, the final score was 42-38, not 41. 1 Quote Link to comment

Maybe you should contact the folks at ESPN and enlighten them. I cant believe it. Herbie wants to see his alma matter get a cush win I guess? Quote Link to comment

grandpasknee Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Big risk, big potential reward. I think we have two ways to come out good, and one way to come out bad. 1. We win outright in a stunner. Could happen. It could. 2. We lose in a tough, hard fought, well executed game. One where tOSU privately feels lucky to have won. Those two are wins, at least in some respect. I think a good game that is a loss, under the lights in a rocking stadium still give potential recruits a warm and fuzzy. Of course an outright win helps seal the deal a lot tighter. 3. A blow out, ugly loss. Not only a horrible showing for a national audience, but it would hurt recruiting a LOT. Unless the recruiters are selling the "see how bad you are...we really, really need you....start next year!" I'm pretty confident it will be one of the first two. PS...I could not care less about the Game Day circus. 1 Quote Link to comment

I never said we should stop televising games. I just said that every time we have been a part of a nationally televised game, we found a way to disappoint. I hope that does happen but the way we have been playing, it does not inspire confidence. I personally would rather the game is televised on BTN. Yeah I can't decide which of those National Championship victories were the most disappointing - I feel like to be relevant I will go with 97 Quote Link to comment

PS...I could not care less about the Game Day circus. I don't disagree that a blowout loss in the primetime spot would suck, but I don't think it hurts recruiting a ton. I mean we signed a top 20 class last year after going 0-6 and getting killed by Michigan. It doesn't help and it definitely hurts some, but it's not the end of the world. These kids look at more than just what happens in the game they visit. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I think if we don't turn the ball over it could definitely be an interesting game. Our offense will move the ball and our defense is opportunistic. I don't think we win this one, but we could if we execute very well especially on offense. Quote Link to comment

husker98 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I completely forgot gameday was even still a thang. Not gunna lie, kinda wish they had just kept on forgetting about us and kept on blighting the campuses of bama or clemson or whoever the flavor of the month down south is. Quote Link to comment

Some people just like to make comments that make absolutely no sense at all. I guess this is one of those times. Forget the 90s man, we are talking about the last decade. You do know it is 2019? Right? Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 The Ohio State game will come down to turnovers, field position, and special teams. I don't like our chances in either category, TBH. It will take a perfect game to beat these guys. Quote Link to comment

There are so many .... I don't get gameday coming here and wish they weren't. Too soon right? Can Husker nation handle another epic loss in primetime? Do we want another year of being on the tOSU highlight reel? I'd rather have them come when we have both lines built up and Chinander has the D working. The line is 15.5 at Neb. We are not expected to win this game at all, and Vegas is very good at what they do. So, how do we look at this? Shall we just say well, we knew we were going down, but at least we will have a cool start to the day? When was the last time gameday chose a 15.5 point dog to host the show? Quote Link to comment
