I was and still am worried about this game.
Other than it being on the road and a short week, we should clearly be looked at as the favorite.
They’re not the Minnesota team we’re used to. We’re not the Nebraska team they’re used to.
Pretty much lines up for a nice road win…..which is what makes me nervous.
We’ll find a way to keep it closer than it should be, but beat the Ketchup and Mustard colored retard 28-25.

We're Nebraska fans. We'll take a lot of healing before we're heading into games 100% confident we'll win even when we should clearly win.
My nervousness isn't zero. Just lower than it's been in previous years going into the same situation.

Don’t disagree at all.
We’ve got some serious PTSD that started with Callahan, was given a brief reprieve for anything but meaningful games in the Pelini era, and has been pretty much a hot mess through Riley, Frost and Rhule’s first two years to be sure.
As you mentioned, this isn’t the same kind of team we’ve fielded for most of those post Penlini years, but sphincter muscle memory kicks in, like it did Saturday with the pick 6. ‘Here we freaking go’.
I have to remind myself that outside of a few dominating teams Osborne fielded, he dropped the occasional clunker that ended in a close win or an upset loss as well. Funny thing about ‘teams on paper’ is they don’t actually play in the games.
I like our chances Friday night. But like you said, I’m not at ‘zero nervousness’ just yet. With the current configuration of the B1G, there might not be many conference games that’s even a practical goal for me.

I was frankly more worried about the Maryland game than the Minnesota game, but I do believe we're pretty beat up and back to back road trips are typically not ideal, even though Minnesota is only a few hours away.
I think it will be close early, but I just don't think Minnesota is very good. Hopefully EJ's still feeling good. Run the ball.

Finally watched most of the MN/Purdue game while eating breakfast this morning. I saw nothing that causes concern other then maybe their OL being their typical giant selves and trying to run right at us.
I see why the line is that it is. The biggest obstacle I see is ourselves. In previous years this would be the case but given the hullabaloo with Rhule’s future I wouldn’t rule it out.
At this point we have to trust that Rhule will get him team prepared and mentally dialed in.
31-17 Good Guys.

I watched it the other night too and actually came away feeling like their defense got pressure on Purdue’s QB pretty consistently, but their more
ile QB was able to evade most of the time. Knowing DR’s ility and our OT’s struggles that concerns me. They also have a pretty opportunistic secondary who had 3 INTs and were close to 1 or 2 others. To me, this game just has all the makings of a letdown spot. I hope I’m wrong.

We've been bucking previous Husker trends this season so far. Time for us to finally show up in a dominant fashion on National TV with the country watching.
