Iowa at Nebraska set for 2:30 PM on ABC
- Thread starter Blair Sanderson
- Start date
I like this spot, will be he main game in this slot and a lot of eyeballs. We gave been hurt by not being the marquee match-up the last couple weeks and a lot of pundits and voters have probably missed watching Iowa. Still, I think more and and more people are starting to notice that this is no fluke and that the Hawks can run with anyone. Black Friday should be a serious beat down this year and will shut up those who are left.
This is fantastic, can leave at 7 and still get 4 hours of tailgating in! Usually hit the road before 6 for this one.
No he won't. I hope he is his usual turnover machine self...
It will be the most opposing fans in the history of Memorial Stadium!
Nebraska fans are feeling a little confident now coming off two wins and the injury issues finally seeming to lessen.
Iowa will have a lot of fans in the stadium, but I don't know if there will be many more than have made it inside the last two trips to Lincoln

Positive vibes have been flowing at Nebraska lately. The crowd is going to be pretty juiced up. This season has been terrible, but after beating MSU, people are pretty excited at the prospect of ruining Iowa's season, getting to a bowl, and building towards next year.
I'd even go as far to say this Nebraska team is better than the one that entered Iowa last year at the same time. Of course the same about Iowa is true, but just FYI, that Iowa isn't going to be walking into a lassiez faire situation, it will be pretty hostile.

Agreed, I will be shocked if there is more Iowa fans this year than in years past. The MSU win helped inject our program with excitement. If Iowa is coming to Lincoln undefeated it will be a fantastic atmosphere.
There is no better way to cap off a disappointing season for neb fans than to ruin iowas undefeated season. They will show up in force for this game. Now if Iowa goes up 17 the stadium might be empty.
This game is big for many reasons on both sides. Nebraska needs it to get a bowl game and to shoot into the off-season/recruiting trail with momentum and excitement. Everyone knows the stakes for Iowa. This will be intense no doubt about it.
I don't think confident is the word to describe red fans. Since the win over Sparty I would describe it more has hopeful or less depressed.
The red will fill their seats (at least most of them) at the start of the game, but there will be a good number of Black and Gold. If Iowa has a big lead at the half and the weather isn't great, Iowa fans will outnumber the red in the second half and increasingly so as the game goes on.
I don't see a either team having a big lead at halftime, due to run defense being our strength with Collins and Valentine clogging the middle. My biggest concern is if we can hold up a full 4 quarters, if you guys continue pounding the ball. Obviously you will get your yards in the air but the run defense is what will have to keep us in this game. Can it hold up? No idea.
This game will have me very worried next week, but today, I'm thinking Iowa leads at half by 4-7, Nebraska holds serve in the 3rd, and Iowa's O-line imposes its will in the 4th quarter, a la the teams we've played with stronger defenses than Nebraska.
I think Nebraska will be able to move the ball on Iowa pretty well. Iowa's defense has loosened up just a little in the past few weeks against Minnesota and Indiana. The question is, can Nebraska stop the Iowa offense? They are pretty efficient and move the ball very well when they have to.
2009 at Ohio State (The last time an Iowa win would have clinched the Rose Bowl).
The one think that kinda bother me, And it's probably just me is the notion that if Nebraska beats Iowa it will ruin Iowa's season, If the Hawks get by Purdue it will not ruin the season for me if Nebraska beats us, If before the season I would have been told Iowa would be 11-1 and going the conference championship game I would have jumped on that in a heart beat. This has been such a fun team to watch and the reality is we are a pretty good team, Not a great team, We are going to lose at some point. So in my eyes a loss isn't going to ruin the season. ( A loss to Purdue would truly suck hard though).
The refs gave nebby the MSU game, let's see if they give them ours. How about we piss pound them so bad there is no chance in hell they will come back. Just run the ball down their throats and open up a can of cj whoop ass on them.
It's gonna be a tough game. They will be putting it all on the line. Then we gotta turn around and play again for the B1G CG

If we get by Purdue, yeah...an 11-1 season with a loss to Nebby would be ok in my book. Been fun and came a lot farther than I ever thought they would. In my opinion though we will beat Nebby by over a td.
Our O has really gelled and should be able to put up 30 on them while, even though our D has shows signs of sleeping, we'll still hold them under 20.

Should be interesting....
Nebraska fans and their local sports radio guys are very confident they will win this game for a variety of reasons. Tommy Armstrong's game is keeping the play alive then chucking it deep, so it should be interesting. I am also interested in seeing how Iowa can run the ball. Iowa has played better on the road this year than at home, so that is also another factor I am looking forward to.

I had somebody tell me today that CJB isn't that good and that is a reason why Nebraska will win. I kept my mouth shut, CJB really hasn't had to throw the ball a lot this year. No reason to when you're rushing for 200+ yards. If Nebraska can stop the run, I will be interested in seeing what CJB does if he has to throw it 40-50 times. He definitely can make plays in the passing game and has a cannon for an arm.
Being in Omaha, I think I'd describe it as "Wow, we suck, but wouldn't it be funny if we ruined both MSU and Iowa's chances at the playoffs?"
CJ is very good. A very good leader and qb. His health will be a big factor in the Nebraska game. I know he's nursing a few injuries, that's why the bye week for Nebraska is huge while Iowa will have a short week (by a day) to get ready.
I'd vote CJ or Connor Cook first team B1G qb. Leaning towards Beathard. His numbers don't wow anyone but he just knows how to win
My recommendation is that you don't let Nebraska win. I know that's a tough pill to swallow, but taking one for the team is the best play here. Disagree with it all your fans want too. I will enjoy reading that part. Fact is, do not try to win this game.
Thank you. I'm serious. Don't f***ing win this game. Tell your friends.
Nebby is Nebby. Talk is talk. And talk is as cheap as a corn husk on a pig snout.
How many games has Nebraska LOST this season? Uh-huh. But they beat Rutgers. That is quite a resume to generate fear in...any Iowa middle school team. LOL
Iowa will be takin' no prisoners. There will be no more miracles in Lincoln. Reality comes crashing back, so Nebby would be wise to be thankful on Thursday that they only have to play Iowa once.
Iowa - 51
Nebraska - 13
And it won't be as close as the score indicates.

I don't hear or see that here. I think the possibillty of beating Iowa after this season has interest at a higher than normal level. I'm retired so listen this stuff all day . Dont confuse wishful thinking with confidence . Will be a good one.
Armstrong's legs won't be a factor I think. Iowa's D has done a pretty good job on not letting dual-threat QB's beat them with their legs (Roberson, Hills, NW's QB, etc.), they've been forced to beat us with their arms. Then again, someone, when it matters, decides to play like a NFL HOFer against Iowa, so we will see.
I love how some Iowa fans think all Tommy Arnstrong does on a football field is turn the ball over. Yes, he has 12 ints this year, but he also leads the Big 10 in Total Offense per game (283 yards) and has accounted for more TD's than anyone in the Big 10 with 27.
After watching Maryland and Minny's offense against Iowa, I have no doubt Nebraska is going to move the ball on Iowa. Problem for Husker Fans is that Iowa's offense will do the same. I think this is a 31-28 type game. Should be pretty exciting.
Sometimes the bye week can kill momentum and timing for teams. Will be interesting to see how Nebraska handles it. Obviously they will get healthier but sometimes it can hurt your mojo.
