DONU +1 vs Maryland

Yeah. The offense has proven to be an adventure this year against even the worst defenses so we will see if they can limit mistakes or if the defense can get some turnovers.

I don't think it's hopeless because both of those teams are pretty bad, but yeah I think I agree that Maryland is the most winnable one left given all the factors
It's certainly not hopeless, but I think Rhule deserves a serious look at Coach of the Year if we make a bowl after all this shit.
 
Anyone else’s battered fan syndrome kicking in right about now.

NoHo Hank was such a great fucking character in that show. Also, fuck the turtles and their delicious crabs. We're winning by 3

They're all winnable and they're all losable.

I will continue to argue the Cockeye game is the most winnable. In virtual pick em games, matchups are key. Just look at the Michigan State game:

Sparty has done two things well this season. They are good vs. the run and they are good on special teams. They were an abomination vs. any semblance of the Forward Pass.

What has Nebraska feasted on the last few weeks? They beat teams that sucked vs. the run and had awful special teams.

Ironically, Cockeye is very average vs. the run and dominant vs. any type of throw game. Nebraska's defense is going to kick their fucking ass, and Nebraska won't be tempted to try and throw the football.


Interesting thing to watch about the Maryland matchup this weekend:

Maryland's kicking game is the worst in the Big Ten. They're averaging 38.6 NET yards per kickoff, which is last in the country. And what's really crazy about that stat is they haven't allowed a kick return for a TD. Sometimes, that stat can be misleading because a team might house one as an anomaly. They are allowing a staggering 27 yards per return.

Average starting field position for Maryland opponents on returned kicks is their own 32 yard line.
