We gotta get HH calmed down. He’s a little juiced right now. Last year about this time he had just taken over and he calmed down a few games in. Hoping he hits his stride against UFMaybe, maybe not.

Really though, he could be. Our WR room is no joke. Hooker gets straightened out a little and our OLine gets a bit better, we'll be a huge problem for any defense. . . if our RBs get going. . . only way we'll be stopped is if we stop ourselves.
Pitt was 52.3% completion, 2 TDs and 1 INT and 274 yards. (57 came on one play)
Pitt had 141 rushing yards for 3.6 ypc and 1 TD (76 came on one play)
So you eliminate the 2 explosive plays and that takes out 133 total yards and 2 TDs. That's the difference in 415 total yards and 27 points VS 282 total yards and 13 points.
20-25 years ago, Nebraska was ahead of the curve with sports nutrition and off-season training. What made those teams so dominant is how impressive they were in the trenches on the OL and DL. They bullied every opponent and enforced its will. Combine that with high IQ athletic QBs (Frazier, Frost) that could perfect the triple option.
I think our starters should be able to beat them straight up by working on things we did the first two games. Hopefully we can get the backups in and they can work on some of the things that we did in week 2 so they can be trusted more to play against Florida.UT opens as a 50 point favorite against AKRON. Think Heup really runs it up to build confidence or does he go vanilla and keeps team preserved for UF?

Something I would love to know from a former player or coach is the whole "keeping it vanilla" idea. It seems like it would behoove you to take your chances and shots wherever you could find them no matter the game.UT opens as a 50 point favorite against AKRON.

For a night game time slot...from the media's perspective, it definitely holds bearing whether we want to believe it or not. Would've been two undefeated (4-0) bitter rivals with history and both being ranked inside the Top 15.that holds zero bearing. its still florida.
