Nebraska plays Northern Illinois tomorrow in what should be a pretty tough games. Northern Illinois is known as the Big Ten Killer. In the past few years they have beaten Northwestern, Iowa, and Purdue. They also almost upset Ohio State in 2015,
NI is coached by Rod Carey who is in his fifth year. Their record is the same as Nebraska at 1-1 for 2017. Rod Carey is 3-1 in the Big 10.
They are scoring 29 points per game this year and have averaged five yards a carry in rushing. Total offense is 433 yards per game.
On the defensive side of the ball they are giving up 16.5 points per game and 263 total yards per game. They have only given up 104 rushing yards and 159 passing yards per game.
NI plays with tempo and will throw the bubble screens until we stop them. They use two quarterbacks, Ryan Graham and Daniel Santacaterina. Love that name.
If NI gets off to a hot start the crowd and coaches could get very tense. Lets hope that doesn't happen.
This will be NI's first road game.
NI lost their starting quarterback earlier in the season opener.
Nebraska has three key injuries for this game in Kalu, Bryant, and Knevel.
Hoping for a big improvement in game three with a prediction of
Nebraska 35 Northern Illinois 17
