I'm also in the camp of -7.0 to =9.5.Pressure 100% on them
But I suspect the line is gonna be rude for this one. 14? More?
I'd jump all over 14 pts if you can get it.

We only got 21 rushing yards last year, and Luke put it up 47 times. If they stop our run game this year (likely), I strongly believe Luke can keep us in a good position with a much stronger performance than last year.
Exactly my thoughts. My main desire for the next two is playing clean, competitive games w/o injuries. Winning either is a bonus, icing on the cake of a great year of steady progress.Win one of the next two and I’ll be thrilled.
Lose both (most likely outcome) and we still have an excellent shot at a bowl game.
Win both and the playoff chatter begins.
You got it! Eight points.It can't be that big. We got the most votes among unranked teams in last week's AP poll, so we'll probably break into the top 25 this week. My guess is Huskers -8 or something.
Texas A&M lost to Notre Dame and NIU beat Notre Dame so no, we will be ranked.So will we be ranked? Loss by BC at #24 and Arizona at #20. Will Texas A&M jump us?
That’s why Valentine should be the starting running back. He’s bursts through the holes quicker. Use Feagin primarily as a fullback in short yardage situations.Our OL is concerning, CMU looked to stack the line making sure we can't easily double (which shouldn't be a trouble) and then brought secondary blitzes/ delayed LB blitzes that threw our tackles for a loop.
I do think they need more time to gel, but we need really work on our communication along the line and really nail down our doubles and work to the second level of Feagin is going to be effective ever. Feagin is so slow to the hole that we really gotta blow the DTs off the ball for him to be effective. These deficiencies could be masked a little. I noticed in some of the Shotgun snaps Luke was shuffling forward on the handoff that helped Feagin build up a little more momentum. Another thing I think we should be doing is getting Feagin in motion and flip it out past the tackle to him so he can get up to speed. We saw it a few times against KU and it was effective when our OTs or WRs didn't hold.
It seems Brett and Lunney have decided 3Qs of just pounding the ball effectively or not wears down the defense for Valentine to be more effective. Our line looks so much better when we have a back that gets up field quickly.
I’m starting to think this as wellThat’s why Valentine should be the starting running back. He’s bursts through the holes quicker. Use Feagin primarily as a fullback in short yardage situations.
We can beat the three average to below average teams that we played with this issue. We won't win many after if it remains a problem.I like our chances to win 6 or 7 this year, but I just don’t see us winning this one.
First road game of the year, which is almost always a loss.
We can’t run the ball and struggle with stopping the run.
I see us losing this one and Penn St, but then beating Purdue & Michigan.
Do we miss Reggie Love? By the end of the season I think he will miss us.I miss Chase Brown.
I miss true freshman Kaden FeaginI miss Chase Brown.
Indiana could jump in above both of them.I think the teams to watch out for to jump us would be A&M and Memphis.
In terms of teams ranked in the T25, BC and Zona both lost. IMO, Zona shouldn't be ranked - was trailing an FCS team in the 4th and got absolutely blasted @K State 2 days ago.
I'm seeing early online stuff at 8.5, good call everybody.I'm also in the camp of -7.0 to =9.5.
I'd jump all over 14 pts if you can get it.
Get a properly-functioning line in front of him and he'll materialize. Or simply run a screen now and again and this may open up:I miss true freshman Kaden Feagin
