What will the score be after the first drive for each team on Saturday?

Simple question- what will the score be after each team completes their first drive of the game on Saturday?

Depending on who gets the ball first but If Nebraska can receive first and gain some momentum early and establish the run and gain a few chunk plays in the 1st quarter I like our odds of running away with this one early.

I went 3-0 Nebraska - I think we get a field goal, Walters is a good DC and I could see him tripping us up. Wouldn't be shocked if we don't score on the first drive, but Frost seems good at first drives when we don't throw a late lateral across the field. Also wouldn't shock me if they score, there's a lot of film on our defense and a new wrinkle can work for a drive.

14-0 Nebraska.  Easy run down the field for Stepp's first touchdown as a Husker followed by a pick 6 by CTB.  Yeah, the Kool-Aid is coursing through my veins...so what?

[MyBloodIsRed16]

as long as we don't a stupid false start once we get in the redzone which seems to happen a lot, Nebraska will score on its 1st drive.  Coach Frost scripts the 1st drive pretty well.  it's the rest of the game that concerns me.

where's the 14-0 option for nebraska? thought i saw a tweet about the defense getting some turnovers against the offense.

[hunter49]

what we need to over come.  fumbles, gadget plays, stupid penalties, bad clock management.  thats a lot.

I'm a little more interested in the final score...

[JJ Husker]

Where is the 14-0 option? We score on our opening drive and then have a pick six on their first drive. It could happen…

 

Oops, I see @desertshox beat me to it.

7-0 Illinois

I could swear that almost every time Nebraska starts fast and looks sharp, the other team adjusts and the Huskers flatten out. 

 

Not concerned about a fast start at all. 

[krc1995]

10-0. I’m not kidding. One FG to open then a pick 6. 
 

not sure why I’m so high on this team. Hopeful- maybe. We will find out soon.

It’s true. Multiple examples going back to Pelini era (Oklahoma 09, I think), 

but Colorado 2019 was so painful. 

[Guy Chamberlin]

Colorado 2019 was horrible first quarter, awesome second quarter, neutral third quarter, and meltdown fourth quarter, right?

21-0 at half. 
I think that OU game was in 2010 and we were 10-0 after one. Extra painful because they were former B8 foes.
