How Does Nebraska Bounce Back?

Nebraska were the underdogs last week but I don’t think anyone expected last weekend would go as bad as it did. Nebraska faced off against Indiana and the offense scored seven points while the defense gave up 56 points and that led to the defeat. Dylan Raiola looked like a freshman and completed 28 of his 44 passes for 234 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. Even two games ago against Rutgers when they won, the offense only scored 14 points total. 

Nebraska on the season is averaging 25 points while their defense is giving up 17.7 points per game. The offense is ranked 90th in the league, while the defense is ranked 19th in the league. In this game, they are going to need a whole lot better play from Raiola. 

Ohio State Can’t Slip Up

Ohio State knows to make the college football playoff they need a near-perfect rest of the season and this isn’t a game they can slip up in. The last game for Ohio State came back against Oregon and they were competitive but they couldn’t make the winning plays late and ended up losing 32-31. 

Quarterback Will Howard cost the team the game late, but he completed 28 of his 35 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns. TreVeyon Henderson finished with 10 carries for 87 yards. Ohio State on the season is averaging 43.5 points while their defense is giving up 11 points per game. The offense is ranked 6th in the league while the defense is ranked 3rd in the league. 

Why Ohio State Will Beat Nebraska

• Ohio State has won each of its last 52 games against non-AP-ranked teams at Ohio Stadium.
• Nebraska has lost 27 of its last 28 games against AP-ranked teams.
• Nebraska has failed to cover the spread in each of its last six games as an underdog against AP-ranked teams.
• Ohio State has covered the spread in seven of its last eight games against conference opponents at Ohio Stadium.

Nebraska vs Ohio State Prediction

Ohio State is going to come into this game angry and they are going to put on quite the show in this game. Raiola struggled in the last game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going against an elite Ohio State defense. Will Howard is going to air it out against the Nebraska defense and this game is going to get out of control early. Back Ohio State against the spread here.
