Washington +16.5 at Nebraska (ov/un 54.5) Sat 3:30 ET, ABC/ESPN

[BB73]

Check with the Coverage Map thread later in the week, this game will be one of the ABC/ESPN 'mirror' deals - which means it will be one one or the other, depending on where you're at.

No way I think the blackshirts cover the spread with their offense struggling(from what I've heard from the the Husker posters on this board).

 

[DubCoffman62]

I think that Washington is going surprise people this year. I don't think they'll win this one but I believe it will be closer than most expect.

After the results of this series last year, I think I'll stay away:

Game 1: NE by 35
Game 2: WA by 12

That's probably a pretty wise move. I wouldn't bet on this game with your money. I have no idea which Husker team will show up.

Anyone who has watched both teams:

Is Washington pretty good offensively?

Is Nebraska this bad defensively?

I've caught a couple Husker games, that D is nothing to be scared of.

Nebraska is not right defensively. Washington has some good players at the skill positions on offense, but they're not what I'd call "good".

thanks.

I know Nebraska's D was solid last season, and they got a ton of preseason love this year.

But, sheesh, this has been a rough start. Giving up 29 at home to Fresno, followed by an early score here.

The offense, meh, they'll get it going. Burkhead looks solid, and Martinez is scary. But, I'd be pretty concerned about this D. Poor tackling, poor positioning. It isn't like they are in the wrong formations, they are simply not making plays.

Nebraska answers, now 17-14.

 

[BlufftonBuckeye]

17-17, refs bail out Nebraska with a bad, BAD catch interference call, as Washington is penalized for a Nebraska player running into his own return man

Washington got fucked in the ass with yet another bad catch interference call.

 

[Jake]

Ridiculous kick catch interference call with 5 yards added to it when UW rightly threw a fit about it. 20 free yards for NU.

Smells like home cookin' to me.
