Over the last 7 games last season, Nebraska's defense gave up 30+ pts 6 times. The defense is relying on 2 true freshman DB's in the two deep, a true freshman OLB in the two deep, a starting DE who has only started one game previously, same with a starting corner. So I am not expecting big things from the defense.
The offense is breaking in a completely new scheme and a QB that hasn't played a single down of competitive football in 2 years. No idea what to expect from the offense. Can Frost work his UCF magic in year one at Nebraska? Remember he went 0-12 in year 1 at UCF.
CU hasn't shown a lot on offense. CSU's defense was so bad, we didn't need to do much. The defense performed pretty well, especially against the CSU passing game.
I think the energy will be on Nebraska's side early and they take the momentum in the 1st quarter, maybe the 1st half. I am leaning towards the 2nd half being all CU.
