If Raiola looks as comfortable as he did last week, Nebraska. Just have to convert red zone opportunities.

If he looks like he did in the middle of the season, we probably lose by like 1 score again.

Cockeye's defense isn't really as stout as it has been in the past. Their rush defense is worse then Nebraska and they are only giving up 20 yards less passing while their best player is out. Their QB sucks and the have a good running game, but if Nebraska can effectively move the ball, could be a comfortable win.

I am probably taking Cockeye unfortunately. This is a big task for Dylan. If he won it would be his toughest challenge he overcame by far this year.

I have the Skers w a bit of a letdown. Cockeye better than tPB fans want to admit. NU offense stalls in the 20 degree cold.

I hate that I can see this very clearly. You suck...real life buzz kill.

Oh I suck and this sucks, that is correct.

If the game was at 50 degrees I'd make a different prediction. But 19 degrees at kickoff, no. Cockeye is jerking off to the thought at playing this game in the frigid cold.

We've got a true freshman QB who's coldest game he's ever played in was probably 55 degrees. Fancy new OC who's basically gonna have to call all running plays. Don't like it for the Skers. Not one bit.

On the plus side, on NU boards people constantly tell me I'm wrong on everything, so hopefully the mob is correct on this and I'm wrong. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.
 
Beyond Johnson, Cockeye's offense sucks but our defense made WiscyDicks look like an explosive air raid offense. NU's big win and offensive performance got TW off the hook for a really bad performance.

Cockeye's approach is simple and not hard to scheme but if our safeties are whiffing on run support and our run fits aren't tight, we'll get gashed.

I think NU can win this but I shouldn't be as worried about our defense as I am.
