Indiana looks like a decent team and we are on the road. I think a vendor of mine is giving me and the wife tickets.

Yeah, that's my reaction too. Indiana is ranked too low in that list. I'd probably put them above Wisconsin and Iowa but not ahead of Illinois.

Indiana on the road after playing Rutgers will be more difficult than Illinois play us on Friday night with 400 consecutive sellout..

You guys know Rutgers QB is the Greek kid from Minn, right?

I don’t get the hype. He’s crap

Correct and yes he still sucks. They are just a hard nose team and their running game has been pretty good. They will probably get smacked soon, but they are decent on the lines.

Power rankings this early is really a crap shoot. For example, Indiana looks good defensively but they have also played a FCS team, and the 124th and 125th ranked offensive teams in the country.

They’re definitely well coached but far from bursting at the seams with talent.

Exactly. I'm not worried about Indiana right now. Lets beat Illinois first. I'm glad we have Illinois at home.

Coach Rhule would tell you to get a clue..
he and I seem pretty simpatico

win the games we're supposed to win (we will be favored against all these crappy, slow, talentless B1G teams), keep DR healthy and we will be in the mix at the end of the season

Agree, many people on here believe that because Nebraska has been historically bad, that it means that these other teams are better. Some are, but most are the same as they were when Nebraska was winning 9 and 10 under Pelini.

ohiost and USC are the only difficult teams left on the schedule

I mean, 3-9 are all the same team. They always have been. Losing to any of them is lame.

I agree entirely with @headcard

we have 2 games left on our schedule - ohiost and USC.

the rest are the usual boring terrible going nowhere B1G fodder we play every season.

Not exactly what I said. But there are definitely tiers and USC and OSU are title contenders in a tier by themselves.

Not getting the Rutgers love. Wisky has no QB for their "Dairy Raid" offense. UCLA is bad bad bad.

They have a very good and experienced QB and some quality receivers. This will be a very tough game and maybe a shootout.

We can beat every team on that list but OSU and USC by 4-7 points if we win the turnover battle in every game.

Injuries on every team will come into play later win the year. We need to be on the plus side of that too.
