I think our defense this year is very underrated, both by our fans and in the larger landscape. There are no stars on the defensive line, but hey - it's a 3 man front. A big part of the goal with getting pressure is with your outside backers anyway.

I don't think Colorado is going to score as many points against us as they did against TCU.

But I just see our offense struggling all year unless we bring in some creativity in the passing running game. Just don't see us winning this game.

This one isn't "the one game I really want to win" this season, though. That game has been Wisconsin for like 8 years running.

I agree with this...with this one correction.  

 
It's been Wisconsin for me for, well, pretty much since we joined the dang conference.

I have to say though the last few days have been absolutely unbearable with the sheer amount of hype around this game. I'd really, REALLY love to throw a wrench in this one.

You could always just stop reading the hype before the game you know.  It's your choice to click on that stuff to read about it, and you are encouraging more of it by doing so.

 
I've wanted to beat Wisconsin, Iowa, Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois, Northwestern, Michigan, OSU, PSU, Maryland, Rutgers, Indiana and MSU for me ever since joining the conference.

I'm so tired of the same flexes year after year from these clowns. You'll never take over our stadium. There's nothing to do in Lincoln. It's a flyover state.

Yeah, guess what, the eastern half of Colorado is flyover too. I've driven from Limon to Burlington. I've been to Holyoke and Sterling. I know what it smells like when the wind blows in from the north from Greeley before a snowstorm.

Can’t forget Fart Morgan! 

 
Limiting Colorado possessions and taking advantage when the Cornhuskers have the ball is a must. Run the ball, no turnovers, own the clock, own the game.

Hey, let’s go easy on the shots against eastern Colorado. There are more Nebraska fans than CU fans east of the front range. And Greeley doesn’t smell near as bad as it used to since the beef plant installed air scrubbers and put a 300’ tall vent stack on….although that may just get the smell to clear over Greeley  :lol:

I'm not going to pretend to know anymore. All I know is that our DBs were glued to the hip of Minny, outside of one play.

Not really. We were usually giving a 7-10 yard cushion and they were picking us apart with the quick and short game. Thankfully we didn't allow much of any YAC, and we tightened up/they played more into the strength of our scheme later with longer and slower developing pass plays once they were down, but I think Minnesota's quarterback was 11/15 in the first half.
