Nebraska finally got to play a game and it wasn't pretty, as the Cornhuskers were demolished 52-17 by Ohio State. The Buckeyes racked up 498 yards of offense. The Huskers totally failed in containing QB Justin Fields, who enjoyed a near perfect day completing 20 of 21 and two touchdowns. At least the Huskers have had two weeks off to try and figure things out, but Northwestern is off to a good start winning its first two games against Maryland and Iowa. The game against the Hawkeyes was particularly impressive as Iowa was held scoreless in the second half, and the Wildcats pulled out a 21-20 victory. Peyton Ramsey finished 11 of 18 for 130 yards and Isaiah Bowser rushed for 85 yards on 25 carries against the Hawkeyes. Scott Frost is in his third year as coach of Nebraska and so far nothing has clicked, as the Huskers were 4-8 his first year followed by 5-7 in 2019. The Wildcats are out to avenge last year's 13-10 loss to the Huskers, after beating them in overtime each of the two previous years. Take Northwestern on the moneyline.
