My biggest concern is that we’re probably going to be so beat up after this game that we’re not going to have much left against Maryland and Iowa.

No different then after the Minnesota and OSU game. I think the Buckeyes will have done more damage then Wisconsin can or will to be honest. OSU is the one team that’s better at running the ball then Wisconsin and they have every bit as good or better of a defense.

We are just a bad team. Of course there are concerns. This team knows how to lose. We may have been the only team in the nation that could figure out how to lose to Colorado and Purdue after the gifts they gave us.

Wisconsin is a 9-10 game winning team. Barring a miracle don’t get your hopes up. You have to win more plays than you lose. We can only do that for maybe a Q or 2 before we start losing way more plays than we win.

that’s the truth. Let’s hope that changes this week but this is as uphill as you can get

I think It will be like the Minnesota game. We will be beat before taking the field. I just hope we can hold their running back from breaking a rushing record. He will probably run for 250 yards.

The biggest concern on the field is our LB’s. Wisconsin will take advantage of them in the running game and the passing game. Their offensive strengths against our biggest defensive weakness. The other concern is mentally. Can the defense play with fire for four quarters, with Wisconsin running it right at them again and again.

Let's just hope that Frost hands out the Astroglide before the game.

what you are going to see is the equivalent of what the old husker teams used to do....tell people we're going the run the ball right at them, and then proceed to do it play after play. You're going to see the backs of husker jerseys getting knocked on their asses.

I'm concerned about Taylor going for 300+

My thoughts also. I can see no way we can stop Taylor or their or their other back who is also pretty good. Wisky may not pass the entire game. Taylor right, Taylor left, repeat.

I loathe not being able to stop a power run team.

Wouldn't break my heart to have a few targeted injuries. Might force the coaches hand to play some freshman.

Wisconsin averages only 63 offensive plays per game. If they're efficient against us, we may not get beat up much at all. Plus, if our offense lays it on the ground or throws some pick-sixes, our defense gets to rest even more. Wisconsin may need only 50 plays to get to 40 points and coast from there, leaving us fresh to give Maryland all they can handle.

To predict that we get beat up assumes that we put up resistance. I wouldn't count on that.

Beat the Terps!!

No concerns at all. It can't get any worse. Ok, 1 concern: injuries. Outside of that, no concerns. If we win, it will be like early Christmas. Anything can happen on a college game day, so I never count us out.

I saw the line at Wisconsin -13.5 early today. At -14.5 now. I’m surprised it’s set that low. I’m really afraid Wisconsin is going to win by 4 or 5 TDS.

Badger D has some big hitters at LB and in their backfield so the concern is WR injuries.

Wisconsin OL are maulers. Lets see who on the DL makes it to the 4th quarter.

I think I'm pretty concerned about having the worst coaching staff ever at Nebraska. We'll most likely be bringing a knife to a gunfight with these jokers.

Even if we're getting skull-dragged. I hope we play this before the 4th quarter.

Man do I hope they get this thing turned around just so you can eat your words. And boy are there a lot of them to eat.

Can’t see us coming within 21 even if game is slowed down with running. I’d honestly be surprised if we score one touchdown. Wisc is top 5 in defense in numerous categories and our qb is vey hesitant and ineffective, the O line below average.
