Super Official Nebraska vs Ohio Game Week Thread.

Huskers favored by 24.5 points. That may be too many considering Anthony KoolAidrea is 0-1 against the Bobcats.
This x 100. Defensively, we need to hold Ohio to 3 yards or less rushing per attempt. Ideally, we hold Ohio to less than 2 yards per attempted rush. If they "Northern Iowa" us, I don't necessarily want to claim all is lost, but certainly giving up a lot of rushing yards to Ohio almost certainly would be a bad omen for league play.
Yesterday in Holgorsen's pre-Ohio game presser, he again mentioned Quinn Clark and said he'd be starting at most schools. Some of you may recall he also mentioned early in fall camp that the TE room was pissed off over the summer that their PT was being limited because Dana was playing a lot of FOUR wide receiver alignments (called 10 personnel.)
I don't think many Husker fans realize what a HUGE advantage a '10 personnel' package gives us--especially against the Big Dawgs on our schedule.
When you have three veteran, high-quality WRs on the field to cover AND THEN throw out Quinn Clark too, that's usually means somebody has to cover one of the four with a linebacker. If none of our WRs miss games this fall due to injury, that grouping gives us a massive mismatch advantage. You can understand why Dana keeps mentioning it with a big grin on his face.
It's one of the things I'm looking forward to seeing Saturday.

It will be interesting to see exactly how much we will see on Saturday. If things go as expected we should have enough of a lead that the playbook will be kept pretty vanilla. ~ fingers crossed~
I predict that if we don’t will big we will hear how bad they suck , and if the win big it will be same posters saying just like last year beat the nobody’s and lose the rest .
Book It !
My focus will be on 4 key areas for Nebraska:
* Can they run the ball?
* Can they stop the run?
* Can they contain the QB?
* Can they tackle? (With all that implies: proper form, taking the right angles, not over-running the ball-carrier, etc)
One thing I want to say: Last year, in our game vs Michigan, the Wolverine defense gave an absolute clinic on great tackling. That's what I want to see from Nebraska.
