Odd feeling today.  I know what I want to happen.  I have no idea what to expect will happen.

[cornhuskers4ever]

No retreat and no surrender!!

Lets win this, and let Iowa say,  "It wasn't a big game to us".

I have the feeling of how I felt before a Nebraska-Oklahoma game. 

Time to become Bowl Eligible.

Haha,  that's an odd feeling to you still? That's the feeling I've had for every game since 2015 started.

Fast start and let the crowd ride you to victory

So five years ago I hoped Ferentz would be dumb enough to punt to Pierson-El.  And he lost the game because he was.

 

Not sure what he could be dumb enough to do today.

Don’t know why but this game feels different. Got the feeling that Frost might have finally gotten everything to “click”

 

Hope my feeling is correct

Sort of the context of my comment earlier.  An early glass of koolaid gave me visions of our offense actually looking like Scott wants it to look...fast, efficient and explosive and our defense being quick to the spot and sure tackling.  I'd relish seeing that vs the Herky-jerks looking like a stereotypical slow, slogging BIG team.

With the Hawkeyes stout defense it could easily be a low scoring game that comes down to one or two plays.  I'll bet we see some misdirection and weird formations.   Might even see an Osborne-esque trickeration play.

I'm betting we see some / several formations with McCaffery and Martinez on the field at the same time, with possibilities of diamond formations in the backfield, direct snaps.  McCaffery as QB, AM in the slot, etc.  I hope so anyway.  See something to mix things up.  

 

Of course, if it works, they'll all be heroes.

 

If it doesn't work, the "why did they feel the need to get so cute" buzzards will circle immediately.

We need to be able to succesfully hit FGs from 4th and 6 at our 25 and not feel like we have to go for it every time.  Multiple zero points series in their territory will bite us.

Need to tackle the best they have all year.  

 

Special teams MUST show up and play BIG

 

If Iowa can expose any match ups against the LBs, especially with crossing routes, without any kind of adjustment by Chin it will be a long cold day.

 

My heart says NU has this, but my brain keeps telling me otherwise
