Nebraska vs Indiana official prediction thread

If experience and talent mean anything then I think Nebraska can win comfortably. I don't believe Indiana has played anybody with a heartbeat. But, Nebraska football usually finds a way to turn easy wins into agonizing losses.

If my first instinct is correct then Neb 31 Indiana 17.
 
This to me feels like one of the games where we realize that the offense has some systemic issues that need to be worked out, unfortunately. I do not think it will be a “blowout” per se but it feels like the type of game where if IU is up 17-3 or something we are just cooked.

I think we will aim to follow a similar offensive game plan to the Colorado game. That is, pound the rock, control the ball and clock, and put pressure on their high powered offense to score every time “or else”.

I’m going to go with 31-21 Indiana. I just feel like I see more ways Indiana wins this game than NU does. Doesn’t mean we *can’t* win this game, but I just feel like IU has more “paths to victory” if that makes sense. The way we win this game is going up 7-0 or 7-3, running the ball early and controlling the clock. If we have to play from behind, especially from 2 scores, I don’t know that I am ready to trust us to do that effectively.

Also, this will be a big game IMO for Tony White’s defense. They bottled up Colorado due to the DL dominating Colorado’s OL but Illinois came in and killed us with the quick passing game. I expect IU will look to do some similar type stuff here and I hope that we have learned from the Illinois game and come out with a better game plan on defense this time around. Trust Ceyair and the DBs to play tighter on the line at the snap without giving up a ton of free yards and see what happens. Rourke has been too good this year to sit back and let him find the open man:
