After the performance yesterday, I’m not too worried about shutting down the ground game, but even if we force them to throw the ball we will still have to be competing against an offense that executes consistently through the air. IU not being foreign to high scoring games and Nebraskas inability to stay consistent on offense worries me. While the blackshirts are our amazing blackshirts, I don’t know if they can keep up with bailing out Satt and the offense against a team like IU. The offensive skill is there as we’ve seen through the handful of drives that have brought the kool-aid flowing, but it’ll really be up to the offense to show up. While IU’s schedule going into our 7th matchup was arguably easier (not too different from ours IMO), we absolutely cannot discredit an undefeated team putting up the numbers their offense has coupled with defensive stats that are arguably just as good if not better than our own.
That being said, the next two weeks are gonna be hell waiting for the huskers to go in and give us a back to back win against undefeated opponents. Defense will win us the game again, but not without our offense to keep us in the fight. 38-35 GBR
