I got my single game tickets vs Ilinois earlier this week. There are still a lot of seats available at face value on the Illini site.  Usually Nebraska has 35 to 40% of the stadium filled.

At this juncture every game is losable, so we will take any win especially in conference. This team and us fans cant take anything for granted.

And Thanks to the transfer portal We have no way of really knowing how good a team like Michigan State is going to be. So every game is in play and any win is a win. Want to see NU get better at the basics, not beat themselves, but now, lets take and be thankful for any W. Its one step at a time.

after reading that, it kinda sounds like Bielema is weeding out players who aren't going to fit into what he planned. It said they had 19 OL on roster and added 2 OL recruits, so it might not even affect their depth that much.

It is 100% Bielema telling guys to move on. I think there was one guy out of the whole group that entered the portal from the two deep.

Oh MAN...I would love to see this kind of performance on August 28th.

Oh MAN...I would love to see this kind of performance on August 28th.

I would love to see a RB game period that wasn't dependent on the QB run.

Just watched these highlights and I don't feel good about this game. This is a team that has put up 35+ the last two times we've played them. Will definitely need our offense to show up.

While nothing is a gimme, I don’t think you can look at previous years as a barometer for this game. It is a new coaching staff and they lost a lot of players. Not saying it won’t be difficult, but don’t lose sleep over these highlights.

I hope your right. But it is concerning that their oline, qb, and rbs are returning, and make no mistake they whooped our front seven last year.
