Hate to say it, especially after watching that game, but I’d put money on CU if the spread is over -3.5. Definitely take the over if it’s 55+.

I think you may be right on the first account. I may be changing my prediction. I'm not convinced there will be 60+ pts scored. I think White will slow them down like he did last year. I'm not sure how polished our offense is going to be by game 2. I think it will still have some kinks. And I'm not in love with our OL.

I actually have CU going 7-5 this year. I think that QB-WR combo is good enough to win them 7 games (since they're not on a B1G or SEC schedule).

I actually think NU will look kind of sluggish on Saturday so I think fans won't really know what to expect. I may not be loading NU at -6.5. Rivalry games are very unpredictable.

I do 100% think NU will win. But I'm wavering on a -7 to -10 spread. It may just be too much for a rivalry game.

Hopefully after

1) NDSU submits their notes/complaints and
2) Rhule brings it up with the CU game refs in the pregame meeting

It will mitigate how many/how flagrant he's allowed to get away with.

I don’t know how a scout could watch this game and still be in on Shadildo.

Holds onto the ball way too long for the NFL. A lot of those scrambles he had tonight would've been sacks against a team with P4-level athletes, let alone NFL.

I think Shedildo is annoying as hell, but I do think he'll be successful at the next level. They'll coach the scrambling out of him, or it'll get hit out of him quickly. When he's in the pocket and in rhythm he's really fucking good.

I don't think he's a guy that you can draft and start week 1, but if he can sit for a year as a backup then I think he could work out.

I will be shocked if Shadeur and Hunter both finish the season healthy

I mean, being the most-sacked QB in the country last year clearly didn't accomplish that job...

That wasn't due to him scrambling too much though. In college it typically works out for him when he tries to extend the play. Sometimes it's a disaster but there isn't a coach right now to tell him not to do it, because Deion won't say it. In the NFL he won't have that rope.

The Colorado/NDSU game was the perfect result for Nebraska. Colorado will come into Lincoln 1-0 and high on their own supply. Their top players will be gushed about all week which should provide the proper motivation to our defense. They also didn't run or stop the run which should have our coaches' alarms ringing as an obvious way to win the game.

Hypothetical question: If team A has a top Dline and team B has a substandard Oline, what is the usual outcome of an otherwise even game?

Real football fans know the answer. As long as we don't give away this game with nonsensical turnovers (*cough Sims *cough) Then Nebraska is going to be 2-0.

I have a prediction that Row the Boat doesn’t make it through this season before getting fired.

Sharpe on 1620 on the way in says Nebraska defense has a real chance to "eat" against Colorado, and have a monster game
