Huskers open as 3 point underdogs at Michigan State 9/25

Not sure beating him once qualifies ahs having his number.

He's won 100% of his games against Frost; Scott might as well move to the guest bedroom. 

(To be fair, I thought Tucker was there for both of CU's wins.)

 

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

Are they going to come out crisp, fired-up, ready to prove something? Or is it going to be another comedic show of ineptitude? This game will be quite telling.

Already moved a point in a half. Now MSU -4.5

So the money is coming in for MSU, right?

Correct

I’m more interested to see if the offense keeps trying to run the ball, use the clock, and get first downs, or if they are going to hurry up and do the 3 and out offense. 

I think what we saw vs Oklahoma offensively would be a good plan the rest of the season.

The best offense is a great defense so yes, let's stick to that plan.

We have only won back to back conference games once since Frost has been here.  We seem to have let downs after a good showing.  The boys needs to actually back up their talk this weekend against MSU. 

Luckily, we didn’t win last week, so we got that going for us. Which is nice.

I think we saw much closer to what Frost wants. However, he wants a good running game as much or more than we do.

If he wanted it as bad as we do, he'd register "Fott Scost" as a walkon and suit up. 

j/k

Michigan State's secondary has looked pretty leaky, especially when they were trying to account for King last week.  I expect us to run the ball but I'm guessing the majority of our yards come through the air.  Something like 70/30 air to ground in total yards.

Getting the cart before the horse here.  But, IF we can have a lot of success against MSU through the air and win the game, it will be interesting to see how future opponents change how they defend us and how that opens up the running game.  

If MSU's secondary is that leaky, we might see some of that this game.

Yep. We're gonna throw, they are going to run. Whomever stops the other better will prevail. Both will have penalties but maybe they can make a kick or two.

Their kicker is 2/5 on the year, but he has made all his extra points. And a couple of the misses were from 60 and 50 so hard to hold those against him too much. Missed a 39 yarder though.

Sounds similar to our FG kicking.
