*** 2019 Game 2 "Expert" Picks: Nebraska at Colorado ***

[brophog]

I really do think we'll be okay as long as our defense gets some stops/turnovers and if we contain Laviska to some degree.

I agree. Saturday didn’t move the needle for me in terms of what I think this offense can become. Play that way at Colorado, though, and I’m probably reconsidering.

I’m curious on how our defense responds. They made some mistakes and I think most of what S. Alabama gained was given, but love the enthusiasm. That’s the hardest hurdle to overcome. If they maintain that week to week, little gains translate into big results.

If our defense plays like they did this past Saturday and our offense actually shows up to play like they did the last half of last season, we win 35-33. If our offense continues to struggle and our center snaps the ball to the moon, we lose the game.

I really hope we beat Colorado...Go Big Red Huskers 35 - Stupid Buffaloes 33

Sleeping, probably

Hey, is this a crack about my age? :angry: Well let me tell you.........yes, I was asleep  :lol:

BTN said we've lost 7 road games in a row and 8 would be a new record in futility broken.  I thought we were done breaking these records.

Definitely not, I was asleep at that time too  :lol:

If there are snap problems, we lose

 

[cheekygeek]

If there are snap problems, we lose

My feeling as well. 

Job One for a center is to get his QB the ball consistently & correctly.

We are doing to break the streak....not the record.

Line is back to -4.5 now...

I will bet the game but this is just a "toss money on it since I love the Huskers" bet,

 

[Saunders]

Added a bunch more picks. It's essentially 50/50 at this point.

What offense is predicated on literally 11 guys making the best play and no mistakes for success?

Literally every offense is predicted on 11 guys all doing their job   :facepalm:

You’re kidding, right?  You must be. Because absolutely untrue that offensive success (as a trend, not even per play) is dependent upon a mistake-free, confluence of eleven people making the right or perfect play.  

:facepalm:

Ehhhh, not really that true. Especially the closer you get to where the play is going. If you run a zone read and both tackles think its going their way and leave both ends unblocked, only 1 person messed up and that destroys the whole play. Thats just one example but something similar happened Saturday. I can think of 5 other examples of 1 dude messing the whole thing up.
