35-24 sound good? Dylan Raiola & Emmett Johnson shine, the Huskers cover and the game goes over a 53.5 O/U number which their games often struggled to reach in Matt Rhule’s first two seasons. Overs plus a Husker cover.
28-27 Huskers…or worse. The boys barely win (or lose) a nail biter and hit the overs while failing to cover. Overs with a Cincy cover.
The defense looks strong, but the offense sputters some in a 23-13 victory. Unders with a Husker cover.
Alex, I’ll take another opponent field goal as time expires in a low-scoring turnover-filled 13-10 affair as, “Here we go again,” is gargled with familiar beverages of regret. (I’m just throwing it out there to crush the hex before it can land.) Unders and Cincinnati covers.

Dylan Raiola - 300+ yards, 2-3 TD tosses, hell, a couple of long scrambles for good measure. We get a first look at a QB with a clean pocket carving up the Bearcat secondary.
Emmett Johnson - 200+ total yards rushing and receiving along with at least to calls to paydirt.
Ceyair Wright - 2 picks, a pile of tackles and a corner blitz sack as Wright makes play #1 for All Big 10 honors.
Williams Nwaneri/Cam Lenhardt - one, the other or both combine for 4 sacks plus multiple QB hits and throwaways forced.
Jacory Barney Jr. - Catches 7+ passes for 80+ yards…and houses a punt return to break the game open in the 3rd quarter.
The field - anybody other Husker. Dane Key? Vincent Shavers Jr? Dasan McCullough? ARCHIE WILSON?
