Does any freshmen (True or RS) score a TD for NU on Saturday?

If we are keeping it to 20 at halftime and maintain, I'll be happy.

I think Ohio State beats the breaks off of us similar to last year. Sorry. WR core slows offense and defense has no legit playmakers. A lot of decent to good guys on the team. Not enough dudes yet. 

Specifically for Ohio State or are these also concerns for the whole season?

Ohio State mainly. Think we could jump on Wisconsin. Ohio State is that much better than everyone else. And Nebraska has been a below average team for a while.

Does any freshmen (True or RS) score a TD for NU on Saturday?

I think yes. Thompkins or Brown are the two most likely to score I'd guess.

Honestly, no Chase Young is worth 14-21 point reduction in spread from last year. He is making NFL lineman pay.

OSU still has a sizable talent gap over us.  But, I find it interesting how much that gap has closed since 2016.

Glad to see that gap shrinking - little misleading with the ratio of upper classmen for them compared to NU.  However that changes over the next couple of seasons.  Need to win 2 games this year that we aren't supposed to to keep this rolling.

Neither teams have played a down yet and their home advantage is basically null.  This is, like it or not, our absolute best case scenario for an unlikely upset.

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

Both teams are rusty.  Plus no fans in horseshoe attendees.  And no more "." in tOSU marching band !!!

Anyway USAToday/Sagarin predictor column ...... Buckeyes favored by 30.21 points including home advantage

You're right; there's always a chance at an upset. I still think we lose by 21+ points.

One game only (October 31st), Fighting Dachshunds nickname in place of Cornhuskers  :lol:
