Nebraska is getting better and we are now trailing them in terms of talent. Watch out for Omar Manning. We are improving tho, love the new offense.

We are going to have our hands full with Nebby. Frost has brought in real talent. They have talent and some experience at QB.

Have to hope Nebby does dumb stuff as it has in recent years. They often beat themselves.

Prediction: We win 23-23.

Had NU not beaten itself against Iowa, a two score victory would have ensued. Iowa is as talented and as good as Nebraska.

Nebraska has a much better offensive line, running game, and overall talent/ experience at QB. Iowa has a better defense.

According to the ESPN FPI, Iowa currently has the 65th most efficient offense, 28th ranked defense, and the 4th best special teams efficiency in the country.

The FPI ranks Nebraska 17th in offensive efficiency, and 55th in defensive efficiency. Northwestern is currently ranked 2nd in Defensive Efficiency and 36th in offensive efficiency.


This game will simply come down to the line of scrimmage. Both teams will try to stop the run. Nebraska's offensive line will be the biggest and most experienced unit Northwestern faces all season, even more so than Wisconsin (if that game is played). Northwestern will have the best defensive front 7 the Huskers see the rest of the season.

I like our toughness v. their "talent." Things may break our way, but toughness tends to lead to breaks going your way.

We pull it out with either a Hail Mary for the Cats or a tipped one from Nebraska.

So, Cats will be down 7-23 with less than a minute to go, score two eight-pointers, and claim victory?
