If there's anything Nebraskans love, it's voting in Internet polls. I understand it is still a novel concept for them, seeing as it was introduced to them just within the last 5 years or so. After all, what else would you do while you're using the outhouse?

I find it comical you turn to bashing wrestling. Most people who bash it do not realize the physical demands and how tough the sport is. Either that or they could not hack it in high school.
Again what was stated was I believe we have the most overall talent on defense of any team Iowa will face - I specifically however stated we were not the best defense - I would say that would be WI not PItt and Wi held Iowa to 220 total yards ( pretty much dominated them)
I think we have a better offense than Indiana - they may be a touch better on the ground but we have a much better passing attack and more big play athletes plus our line is stronger
Wisconsin, statistically at least is the best defense Iowa has faced. They rank in the top 10 in pretty much every cat. and top 5 in a few of them.
Offense - clearly the only decent offenses you will have played this year are Indiana and NU
Indiana - #1 in total Offense - NU #2
Scoring offense - NU #1
Passing Offense - NU #1
So yes I would say NU is the best overall offense you will face all year
Defensively the point is we have talent but it hasnt all come together yet but its starting to

We were also a big underdog vs MSU. We did pretty well in that game.
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that I can guarantee you Iowa hasn't heard any noise levels loudness like it will hear next week and i think it will be tough on Iowa. Not many teams win in Lincoln. Nebraska fans will stand over every play and scream their lungs out - guaranteed!
Nebraska has nothing to lose if they lose this game. I am sure they will play with their ears pinned back on every play until the game is over. It will be a very physical game.
Go Big Red!!!!
I love that people actually think this. It let's me know quickly who has a clue.
I thought the line was 4 1/2 for the Michigan State game that is not being a big underdog.
The noise will not be the factor you think it will be as they play in Iowa City and Memorial Stadium is not nearly as loud as Kinnick.
Yes, the game will be physical, they won in Lincoln 2 years ago so I highly doubt the fact teams rarely win in Lincoln will be on their mind.
Watch what vegas lines do next Sunday (or any sunday) when the offshore (CRIS) line comes out. Then tell me how much that 2.5 that's currently out matters.
Not as loud as Kinnick? Thanks for the laugh. That place might as well be a morgue. Delusion mixed with obsession by the Hogeyes tonight.
Iowa has its best start in program history (10-0), due to excelling in all three phases of the game.
C.J. Beathard is playing very strong in the 4th quarter, dating back to the TaxSlayer Bowl, when
he replaced Jake Rudock, who is playing very well for Michigan.
OFFENSE:
• Iowa has scored 30 points or more in four straight Big Ten games for the first time in school history.
• Iowa has a balanced offense. Its 4,214 total yards are divided by 2,117 yards rushing, and 2,097 yards passing. Iowa has 30 rushing touchdowns, first in the Big Ten and fifth nationally.
• Iowa ranks second in the Big Ten with 14 scrimmage plays of 40-plus yards. The Hawkeyes had 12 scrimmage plays of 40-plus yards all of last season, and 13 such plays in 2012 and 2013 combined.
Sophomore MLB Josey Jewell is the captain calling the plays and leading the Iowa tackle force ...
DEFENSE:
• Iowa has allowed six rushing touchdowns; No. 1 in the conference and fourth nationally.
• Iowa leads the Big Ten in interceptions (13) and ranks second in takeaways (20) and turnover margin (+11).
• Limiting big plays: Iowa has allowed 12 scrimmage plays of 30-plus yards. Only Michigan (9) has allowed fewer among Big Ten teams.
Iowa junior CB and RS Desmond King has really elevated his game in 2015.
SPECIAL TEAMS:
• Marshall Koehn’s 57-yard game-winning field goal vs. Pitt is the second longest in school history and the second longest in FBS this season.
• Iowa’s two-man punt team of Dillon Kidd (43.1) and Marshall Koehn (46.2) rank fourth in the Big Ten averaging 42.4 yards per punt.
• Desmond King averages 12.7 yards per punt return and 25.1 yards on KO returns, both rank No. 3 in the Big Ten.
Could Iowa vs. Michigan be the Big Ten Championship Game. I ran into a Michigan grad, college pal of Jim Harbaugh, who is dreaming that Michigan runs the table in November.
Mike Riley will be an interesting coach for the Cornhuskers. Iowa is enjoying a solid season in 2015. It will be an interesting Black Friday.

Agree Neb will be a fav in this game. Nebraska is starting to show how much the injuries hurt this teams performance. A healthy Nebraska should be feared by anyone in the country.

Is Io_a the official football team for Creighton fans that hang out on Husker boards? Or is that just a "this year" thing?Iowa has its best start in program history (10-0), due to excelling in all three phases of the game.

Ahh then no excuse for Iowa to lose to Nebraska for the 4th time in the past 5 years correct?
are you agreeing with the poster or disagreeing ... can't tell
vegas wants equal money on both sides ... correct?
There really isn't, which is why it's nice that all the pressure is on them. Nothing to lose, Huskers.
Husker2612.
We are opposites. I agree with you. I think Iowa will lose. Then again, I've thought that every week. I appreciate your confidence. I live in Lincoln. I've lived here for 20 yrs. I've always worn Iowa gear and have always displayed it on my vehicle. Rarely did I ever get a hard time. Explain this to me, why as each week that goes by do i get more negative comments and outright fingers while driving. My wife is a husker, I don't do anything to bring attention. There aren't enough Iowa fans in Lincoln to talk trash to get you worked up. My wife was ashamed to be a husker when we got the finger on Sunday driving down 56th street. Greatest fans??? Give me your assumption as to why the Iowa hatred has grown this year in a city that has probably less than 1000 Iowa fans!!!

Probably because you're a ****** driver.
I truly think it's going to be a pick'em game and wouldn't doubt that Iowa wins. Having said that, it's kind of funny that this is Nebraska worst year in quite awhile with the coaching/system change, the most injuries I can remember, sitting at 5-6, Iowa sitting at 10-0, and yet, it's a pick'em game.
I think it comes down to Tommy. If he can keep from throwing picks, Nebraska finds a way to win. I think on the opposite side of the ball, if Nebraska can keep Beathard from scrambling for long runs and just play decent with pass coverage, they will be in good shape. Nebraska's strength is stopping the run, so, they should match up alright with Iowa. Nebraska needs their WR's to get healthy in a hurry, hoping the much needed bye week, helps out in that regard. Praying NU can squeak it out and get to 6-6, headed for a bowl game.
I'm probably alone in this, but if Iowa beats us, I will be pulling for them in the Big Ten Championship and hoping they get into the Final Four.

Nebraska is not louder than Madison, this I know for a fact. The rest of the post is all fact.
Been to both on big games. Nebraska is louder if the circumstances are right. If Iowa is 11-0 and we score early look out.
This is a highly underrated post. 42,000 watching wrestling outside is an amazing turnout...and tells how very little there is to do in Iowa City.
Big deal. UNL lost to NW, Wisky and BYU in Lincoln and Iowa won last time in Lincoln. What's your point?
And you just struggled to beat a team we beat by 3 1/2 TDs....at their place. What's YOUR point?
I am disagreeing. Vegas does not want equal money on both sides. Trying to accomplish this for games other than the Super Bowl is impossible and would be in most cases completely stupid.
