O-Coordinator Troy Walters also commented on the role that ball security will play in game against a team like Ohio State.

"We emphasize it every day in practice," Walters said. "We do ball security every day and the guys have to realize that the hopes and dreams of this program is that football.

Ugg!


OSU has a reputation of dropping a clunker (last 2 being road games to Western foes), and this has all the makings for an OSU under-performance and for making Nebraska look amazing.

There will be adjustment in the 1st Qtr - loud crowd,opponent with a pulse lead by a proven coach,Fields on the road at nite.Day is well aware and has pointed out Iowa/Purdue the last two years to the team no doubt.I said before UNL has hit some snags and the Bucks haven't so hopefully the law of averages doesn't kick in

Nebraska May very well win, but I don’t think it would be because OSU overlooked them.

the Huskers have experienced a couple dogfights already- and figured out how to will their way to a win.  Likely their only game at night at home, and with game day in town...I expect to see their very best performance, maybe all year.

OSU has not experienced a dogfight, a night game on the road and very hostile environment.  They have not experienced an explosive offense, multiple players who can take it to the house from all over the field. Fields has not experienced consistent pressure, playing from behind late, or any of that stuff.  No, Nebraska has, in my opinion, one of the most creative minds in CFB for a coach, and he will throw everything and the kitchen sink at OSU, with a squad that will be sky high all night.

while the Buckeye players clearly know they are walking into a hornets nest, they also clearly are chomping at the bit to prove themselves in an extremely difficult venue.   We will see if they are equipped to to compete at that level. Because, let’s be real, we really don’t know.   They will have to grow up fast.   Bottom line, they. Could just get beat by a better team Saturday night.  
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Looks like a weather system is passing through Lincoln Saturday at some point, temps stuck in low 60s, maybe some rain.

haven't heard that yet

fingers crossed

also haven't heard back from "Skersfan", so I'm not planning to make the trip.

I did encourage my daughter to get to Game Day Saturday morning, but she isn't a morning person
One of my former students, a valedictorian, is a freshman at OU.  She comes home to visit her family on home-game weekends because she doesn't like the noise.

I remember working the board at  our college radio station during a game broadcast.  Was stunned by number of kids in that building studying and here we were no more than 30 yards from the SE entrance to the stadium.

I felt like Judge Schmales,  "don't you people have homes?"

Yup,last year after they signed Grinch as the heir apparent to the DC gig I thought with him and Schiano would make things work.Well they lost 3 starters Bosa in the 1st rd,Jones in the 3rd rd,Sheffield in the 4th.So both Grinch & Schiano are gone Mattison steps in and things SO FAR are much smoother.Could be the over all more experience but right now Greg Mattison gets a 2 a two thumbs up
Early returns for Grinch in Norman are very positive, although his defense hasn't been tested by a first-rate offense yet.

Last couple of years, we were getting lit-up regularly by second-rate offenses.

They're just anticipating Fearless and his Posse rolling into town with all that Shark Water and hot air flying out of everywhere

Ya Grinch improved the Pirate's lot every year in the Paloose.I think he jumped at the chance for OU because he was uncertain what was up with Urban leaving and Schiano's place afterward.Or perhaps him and Day didn't see I-2-I,tough to know but he got while the getting was good.Perhaps he would have stayed in C-Bus if he was guaranteed the gig moving forward.I was always very curious as to why tOSU did not retain him.If you find out do post,maybe you'll have the same luck with him as the other Ohio guy Stoops

“We’ve had this one circled since since February. So we’re ready to go,” said DT Haskell Garrett on Wednesday. “We knew that this was gonna be the one. Everybody’s testing us, every week, every day, so we just gotta go out there and make a statement.”

That definitely falls well short of bulletin board material, but it stands out in the tightly-controlled world of college football media. Outside of rare exceptions, different variations on “We just take it one game at a time” are the rule.
