Nebraska vs Indiana official prediction thread

It's really just because one team is Nebraska and the other is Indianus

Our wins are unimpressive (for Nebraska)
Indianus's wins are impressive (for Indianus)

Also you get bonus points for blowouts and for scoring 40+. Rhule could have done that in some of our games but he always calls off the dogs.

How does their overrated coach look in person? Like a buffoon?

He got a really strong reception....I was a bit surprised honestly given how they looked last year.

He has a solid 'stache game, I'll give him that.

Big Noon just came out and was introduced at Hoosier Hysteria. They all played up Indiana, of course, talking playoffs.

I'm old enough to remember when they were talking about Nebraska in the playoffs after we beat CU

NU 41
IU 13

Don't think this one will ever be in doubt for NU. They'll start fast and never look back.

Indiana’s coach looks like an angry Tim Miles.

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 Indianus. I just feel like I see more ways Indianus 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:

Yeeeeeup. Cooked.
