I think it's comical that you're seriously trying to act like you understand college football while referencing a game from August. If you can't figure out why that result doesn't matter in December, then you're either really ignorant or just too biased because your head is too blindly up the ass of the Big 12.
Utah is allowing 520 yards per game in the last month of the season. They're coming into this game with one of the worst defenses in the country. And their stud NFL Defensive End is opting out.
I'm betting that Holgersen and Geep Wade have been around the mother fucking block long enough that they can establish an offensive game plan to exploit a porous Big 12 defense, especially with a month to prepare.
I also have zero doubt that Utah is going to run the ball down Nebraska's throat.
There is no reason to think Nebraska will win this game. I honestly don't think that way at all. But, I do believe Nebraska's offense will score some points and move the ball.
