Nebraska at Northwestern

Northwestern got out of the gate slow at 0-2, but have since gone 3-1, losing only to a strong Minnesota team last week on the road. A 100-yard kickoff return did them in late in the fourth quarter. The Cornhuskers had a big game last week at Michigan State but fell short, suffering their first loss of the season, and they might have some trouble playing on the road again this week with not a full set of emotion or energy. Nebraska already struggled at home vs. McNeese State, got all they could handle vs. Miami at home, and now must try and regroup against an improving Northwestern team, on the road. Nebraska has a big rushing attack, but the Wildcats already held Wisconsin to 14 points in an upset win, beat Penn State on the road, limiting them to just 6 points, and certainly have the ability to pull the upset or at the very least be in it to win at the end. The points are big here, so Northwestern.
