Should have fired on them at +13 when it opened, but I thought it'd get bet up to 14.
Nebraska, with the current staff, matches up very well with Wisconsin. The strength of the Husker defense is its run, and after watching Wisconsin, I'm not a believer in their offense if they have to pass. Media concensus also seems to be that Fumagalli won't be able to go, and if he does, he;ll be very limited. That's a huge blow for the Wisky passing game. Meanwhile, Loudermilk is also banged up and Nebraska is getting back its best two DB's in Chris Jones and Josh Kalu. Jones hasn't played yet this year, but is the best player on the defense and his return is massive. They haven't said how many snaps he'll go, and he'll certainly be limited, but it's a huge boost for the D.
The Huskers are also 46-5 in home night games, and have won 20 straight. Looking at Hornibrooks stats, against top B1G teams on the road (NW, tOSU, UM, MSU, and Nebraska) he doesn't fair well. To me, this game has all the makings of a 23-17 type of game, with turnovers deciding the victor.
