OWH: Potential B1G Upsets

[Mavric]

Ohio State at Nebraska: Husker fans may be offended that their team is in a position to upset another team, but a win over the Buckeyes would qualify. OSU could start the season as the nation’s top-rated squad and, if it can handle Oklahoma at home in September, will be no worse than No. 2 in the nation when it rolls into Lincoln Oct. 14. NU lost by 59 to the Buckeyes last season, but would have a chance here with a wild crowd.

Nebraska at Purdue: It’s already happened once, in 2015, and this Boilermaker team, at least on paper, will be better than the 2015 squad. Purdue’s quarterback, David Blough, returns, and he’s had good experience against NU, playing well in two games.

LOL. No f'ing way we come even close to beating OSU.

Define close.

 

[OH HSKR FAN]

Probably not. Remember the drubbing in Norman in 2008? Came back and beat them the following year. Obviously a lot of mitigating circumstances but it can be done.

Define close.

After last seasons drubbing, I'd consider 30 points close.

I'll be a little more generous - I'll say OSU wins by 21+.

 

[Hunter94]

OSU by 35+

 

[swmohusker]

Osu by only 4.......... Touchdowns

 

[famoustitles]

Ehh... I'll have to see kickoff time before I make any bold predictions. I don't see them winning by 21+ though.

You guys are focusing on the wrong upset.... Purdue. I'm just glad we're the favorite and it would still be considered an upset if they were to beat us.

I've already convinced myself Purdue is winning that game. Jeff Brohm is the best coach since joe montaña

Saying there is no chance of anything this far out is uneducated and dumb. It's sports dude, far crazier and more unlikely upsets have happened than us playing OSU in the fall. A lot of them have been at the hands of Mike Riley, too.

 

[huskered17]

Had a feeling about this game after last season. Could be the start of the turn around we all hope for. I'm going with the Huskers to win a close one.

GBR!!!

So...we could upset the #2 team in the coubtry one week, only to lose to the #92 team in the country shortly after.

Sounds legit.

I have no idea why you think that is so far-fetched. That would be true for a lot of teams.

It happened all of two years ago, if you need a reference (albeit in the reverse order).
