Worst possible timing. They just came off a loss and are going to be motivated and playing at home. Combine that with an extra week of preparation and recovery.

Now add a defense that couldn't even force them to punt last year that is only marginally improved.

So, I'll guess 59-20, they punt twice.

I’m not as impressed with them as I was in the beginning of the year. I feel like they have regressed since Urban has returned. Their defensive backfield is not what it used to be and their offensive line is fragile compared to years past. Having said that, I’d feel a lot better if we were playing at home. Going to the horse shoe is one of the more intimidating places to come out with a victory.

My guess is we go down similar style to the Wisconsin game. 41-31 OSU is my prediction.

I think it’ll be close. They are in shambles so it’s this year or it’ll be another 7 or 8 years when hopefully they’re in shambles again. They’ll reload next year. Rinse repeat.

Chest pains will have his men at a fever pitch. I can't remember the last time a good team came out flat or not ready to play us hard. Especially the beat downs we've suffered on Nat'l TV.

I love the HUSKERS but am a realist, we're just not there yet. I'm more worried about injuries for the up coming Illinois game.
GBR!

I predict that the offense plays well, but special teams and an abhorrent defense come up way short.

OSU 66
NU 40

A one loss team is in shambles? A one loss team with a coach that has won multiple NCs is in shambles? A one loss team with a coach that has won multiple NC's, coming off of a bye week is in shambles? GTFOH

56-24 OSU. NU gets down big early, settles down and maintains the big deficit.

I agree somewhat. OSU will be well prepared I think, especially after a bye. Urbs will have them ready to play. If we can get some turnovers from Haskins I think we could shock the world!

Too much talent to overcome for Nebraska, tOSU probably wins comfortably. If Nebraska has less penalties and to's than the Bucks, maybe the Huskers make it a bit uncomfortable. Love to see an upset, but I don't see it happening. :(

I agree that this is most likely outcome. Our Huskers will look pretty good at times. Would to see the Huskers pull off an upset but I think it will end up...

63-21....it will be 28-0 at the end of the first...they will go nuts to start the game after hearing crap from their fans for 2 weeks,. As good as AM is...his accuracy has not been perfect the last two weeks. He has effectively taken advantage of very poor secondaries, OSU will cover our guys and any poor pass will end in INC or INT. OSU will emphasize their run game and have some "special" stuff for us because of their week off...a couple turnovers, a couple big plays and we will be in a big hole. I can't imagine OSU playing two bad games in a row, with bye week in between. They have had one bad season in 20 years...

I just can't help but think our D gets lit up big time. I just have zero faith in our Pass D. Our run D can hang with OSU. IF BETHUNE can easily move the ball on our D, OSU will score big time from all the dumb mistakes and broken Coverage. We get zero pressure on their QB.

I'll go with 52 to 20.

49-24 Buckeyes. Not humiliating, but never really in doubt. Huskers will have their moments but I think they are still a long way from beating a team like Ohio State.

Buck Nuts is beatable and it has yet to face a problematic offense like ours and if we do lose, it will be within 7-10 points. This Bucky squad is nowhere near as good as they were last year. If people think OSU is gonna shut this offense down, they are absolutely delusional. Like I said in other post's, this isn't the same team that **** all over itself against Michigan as it will fight till the bitter end and won't lay down like under the past idiotic coaching failures we've had. That Wolverine D is light years better than Bucky's! Michigan's D is ranked in the top 5 nationally. Ohio State's isn't even in the top 25. We can and will move the ball on it, and I do not care if they're coming off of a by week, playing at home and doing the blackout thing!
