Rushing TD idk. He’d have to be untouched. You breath on that guy he goes down.

✅ The Case for USC​

• USC enters the game as the favorite: oddsmakers have them listed around a 6.5-point edge over Nebraska. SI+2247Sports+2
• Offensively, USC is strong: they’re averaging high marks in scoring offense and especially passing. Corn Nation+1
• Nebraska has struggled at times with pass protection (e.g., their QB has been sacked often) and will be tested by USC’s offensive weapons. SI+1

🚩 The Case for Nebraska​

• Home-field advantage: Nebraska plays this game at home, which can be a meaningful edge.
• Balanced attack: Nebraska has both a capable running game (with their RB) and a young QB showing promise. Picks and Parlays+1
• USC’s defense has vulnerabilities (especially against the run and in pass defense) that Nebraska could exploit. SI+1

🔍 Key Match-Up Factors​

• Running game vs. front 7: If Nebraska can establish the run (their RB Emmett Johnson is having a strong season) they might control tempo.
• USC passing vs. Nebraska secondary: If USC QB Jayden Maiava has time to throw and his top WRs get open, USC’s edge grows.
• Turnovers & big plays: These often swing games. Nebraska must protect the ball; USC must limit explosive plays.
• Momentum & confidence: Nebraska is 6-2 and building momentum; USC had a loss recently and a bye week, which can help reset but also disrupt rhythm.

📊 My Prediction​

🎯 Betting/Spread Notes (for context)​

• Spread: USC ≈ -6½. 247Sports+1
• Over/Under: Set near ~57.5 total points. SI
• My score projection (34-28) yields a total of 62 points — slightly over the projected line, so the over might be appealing if you lean that way.

Pucker up better cups! Even the Mav predicted a win, but too many of you predicting Trojan Condoms on your Cob.
Nebraska 28 and Lincoln's Little Lilly Lads from Lala 21
Might be the game we finally start getting serious hot seat talk on Lincoln Riley.

USC - 38
NU - 27

Don't think we can stop their run game. I feel like we would have to Minnesota/I0wa this game up to keep it close and to have a chance to win. If NU were to win they would have to keep USC in the 20s.

Not saying you are wrong, we struggle against the run, but you do realize USC is on their 4th? String RB who is a walk on

I don't have an issue with you personally on here. However, I will say that you rely waaaaaaaaaay to much on Chat GPT for your contributions to these conversations.

I would say that I do it to piss people off LOL. And it works waaaaaaaaaaay to well.

However before cgpt. I would google just about everything and cite where I got the info to support my discussion points. And that really pissed a lot of people of too. LOL.

You can't win with many in this crowd unless you whole heartedly agree with them no matter how many references are cited. Era of Fake News conspiracy I guess.

I guess I would ask what's wrong with using cgpt or other resources to spur discussion? I have never said that what I have posted is 100% fact. I have at times tried to back it up with more references when someone loses their mind over the use of AI but am fine with people pointing out what parts aren't accurate and then backing it up with some factual or contrary data. Usually don't get that. Most just want to yell at the clouds and claim fake news.
