Does anybody seriously believe that Indiana has a better set of skill position players than Colorado? Does anybody believe that Indiana has a better defense than Illinois and Buttgers?


I know the theory of transitive property doesn't hold water in CFB but Indiana hasn't faced the schedule we have. We also have to believe that we have a coaching staff advantage as well. Their advantage is being at home but do Indiana football fans really know how to create an advantage for their team?
They are better than Colorado where it counts on the lines of scrimmage. Huskers win this one 26-24.
 
Man based on the defensive performance so far by Nebraska there are sure a lot of people thinking Indiana is going to light up the Blackshirts. Holy crap so many predictions of 30 plus and some 40's in there. There is no chance Indiana scores 40 points. Come on guys. Could they score some points sure but 30-40? No way.

If Indiana wins, I say 24-17 We beat ourselves again for the 90th time in 10 years.

If Nebraska wins, I say 28 - 20 and we run the ball quite well.
Which of these two guesses you going with?
 
Or space camp in Alabama. Gatlinburg TN as well. All the 3rd world wonders.

How good is their how line? Are they JMU guys or holdovers?
Defense has some JMU and Mich State. Also have a true freshman getting play, but looking forward to seeing how these guys mesh against Huskers. O line has been pretty good opening holes for their backs, but pass protection looked less successful in the games I watched. Maryland and Northwestern have been their biggest tests so far, correct? To my original point though, they look a great deal better than the fishnet Colorado calls a O line and better than Colorado's D line. I imagine they will pound their backs against Nebraska's D line and try to keep the Husker's offense off the field as much as they can. The predictions by some on this board for an Indiana quick big lead would be terrible for Nebraska, but I don't see it happening as long as DR and co don't turn the ball over.

True you wont play many o-lines as putrid as Colorados. I still think we have a big advantage with our Dline against their o line. We have one of the best fronts in the league vs a first year oline.
 
We have underachieved offensively in my opinion. Inconsistency has plagued us. I think at times we are predictable, and execution at times is not what it needs to be.

I truly believe Nebraska has played much tougher competition and our defense is much better than anything IU has faced. I am confident that Rhule will play up the underdog role, nobody thinks we can win, etc. We have to step up and play well offensively to win, the defense will do their job.

I am not overly confident due to the inconsistency, but my gut says we will win 27-14.

Yep. Takes time to get the tendencies of each other down and work as a unit.
