Our whole defense will be faster than NDSU's. He'll have less time and his WR will be less open. He'll make plays but it's not going to be the same. And I believe NDSU has stopped them twice so far(?)

Not really...NU's down 3 are HUGE run stoppers, not fast rushers.

 
The Blackshirts need to ball out.  Our secondary better be ready. I hate that we got embarrassed last year but I called it after watching each team’s first game.  Our defense needs at minimum 2 turnovers.  I’m assuming our offense will put up enough points which I think will need to be in the 30’s minimum.

I actually agree here. It is going to be hard to stop. We are going to get sacks but they are going to throw for 350-400. Think I would start Williams/Butler on the edge. Mix up your blitzes with Princewill/Sherman. 
 

Jimmy Horn is a stud.

I’m really liking our chances. Sure Shedeur will make some completions but they’ve got absolutely nothing else going for them. D sucks, OL sucks and they are undisciplined. We can defend better and get more pressure. 

 
Colorado D stiffening up here. I think they start to turn this game pretty quickly but Nebraska sure is getting some film.

This is SUCH a bad match up for NU.

Sanders doesn't miss.  He will have 60 passes vs NU.  He will throw for 400+ yards.  They are a video game.

I'm with you.  Pass D has been an issue for NU.  Didn't get a ton of pressure form DL last year.  CU is like a video game with passing.  Said earlier Death Row needs to live up to the name next week.  regardless of feeling of Prime and Co, Shedeur can sling the hell out of that ball.  Gone are the days of Pelini's QB grave yard.  Time to bring it back.  Not going to be an easy game my any stretch.  My personal "must win game of the season".
