Nebraska vs Northwestern Game Preview

Why Northwestern Will Win

So what changed over the last several months?

When we last saw Nebraska win a football game, it had no problem with Northwestern in a 56-7 blowout – that was the only Husker win since September 11th.

How is Northwestern better than last season when nothing seemed to work right in a disastrous 3-9 run?

To start, the offensive line will be a major plus around All-America tackle Peter Skoronski, there should be more of a running game, and the defense got a little help from the transfer portal for the line.

On the other side, there’s a big-time PROVE IT factor for Nebraska.

It went 3-9, too. Head coach Scott Frost wasn’t replaced after another awful year, the defense has to prove it can start taking the ball away, and QB Adrian Martinez is off doing his thing at Kansas State.

If Northwestern can slow this down, keep it low scoring, and make it about who’ll screw up first, it’ll be in good shape against the team that has all the pressure on its side.

– Week 0 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Nebraska Will Win

Nebraska just got more talented.

It’s still missing the playmakers across the board to make a ton of noise nationally, but QB Casey Thompson was a good get from Texas, and the receiving corps got a ton of help with Trey Palmer from LSU, Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda from New Mexico State, and Marcus Washington from Texas. The defense filled in a few spots and helped boost up the depth.

The biggest change is with the style, getting offensive coordinator Mark Whipple over from Pitt – he helped make Kenny Pickett a ton of money.

Get ready for a far more dangerous passing game, and it starts with hitting a Northwestern secondary that doesn’t return anyone who came up with a pick in 2021.

What’s Going To Happen

Really? You’re going to pick against a guy named Fitzgerald in Ireland?

Northwestern and Nebraska were supposed to go to Dublin in 2020, but a global pandemic had something to do with that getting moved. Now the two kick off the Big Ten season in Week 0, and it’s massive for both teams.

Northwestern has to show that the problems of 2021 are well in the past and the style, toughness, and line play can be enough to get back to a high level.

Nebraska has to show that all the changes under Frost were enough to start winning.

Don’t expect anything pretty.

The Northwestern lines will be strong from the start as Fitzgerald’s squad slows things down to a dead stop at times. Nebraska won’t have the running game to control the clock, and the third down conversions won’t be there on a consistent basis.

However, Nebraska will hit two deep plays in the second half to finally start to pull away a little bit. Northwestern will have its chances late, but its fourth quarter drives will stall as the Huskers get out with a stronger-that-it-will look win.

Ahhhhhh yes, Week 0. The soft opening.

The college football season gets rolling for real next week, but first we all get up to speed with a modest slate of games that matter. There might not be a ton of massive games – or any – and there isn’t anything for the College Football Playoff chase.

But it’s college football, it counts, and you’re going to enjoy it.

There’s a limited number of games – usually this piece tries to pick from all the glut of options for a normal Saturday – but here are 5 best bets just in case you choose to invest this weekend.

We’ll start out with two for the price of one …

5. Wyoming at Illinois & Northwestern vs Nebraska point totals

LINE Wyoming vs Illinois 44, Northwestern vs Nebraska 49.5
Point Total Picks Under

No argument if you want to go over on these two games – you don’t win friends with the under – but …

It’s Week 0. We’re all guessing without any preseason to go off of. It’s a mistake to assume that 2021 will carry over to 2022 – new teams, new coaches in some sports, new schemes – but the general Week 0 theme is to go with what you know until proven otherwise.

Wyoming, Illinois, Northwestern, Nebraska – can any of them score?

44 is an obnoxiously low college football point total – 24-21 and you lose – considering it’s always possible that one team can hit that by itself, but until they show us something different, Wyoming and Illinois might struggle to get there.

This is more about the Cowboys. They rose up and rocked against a Utah State team that didn’t need the game late last year, and they hung up 52 on a Kent State defense that was but a polite suggestion, but they lost their key skill guys through the transfer portal, should bring a solid defense, and Illinois isn’t going to be an offensive juggernaut.

The Illini will do their part, though. Wyoming is going to struggle.

Northwestern and Nebraska in Dublin, Ireland, almost certainly isn’t going to be a firefight.

The Wildcats will try to grind this down, the defense should be far better than the version that gave up 56 to the Huskers last year, and 50 between the two might be asking for a lot.

After the big day against Northwestern, Nebraska failed to hit 30 points the rest of the way.

Nebraska vs Northwestern Game Preview, Big Ten Tournament

Why Nebraska Will Win

Forget about Gonzaga and Arizona and Baylor …

You do NOT want to play Nebraska right now.

The worst team in the Big Ten for most of the season, all of a sudden it can’t be stopped. Beating Penn State on the road is one thing, and taking out Ohio State in Columbus isn’t really any big deal at this point, but beating Wisconsin in Madison with an outright Big Ten Championship on the line?

What are the Huskers doing right? They’re out of their mind from the field, using 55% over the last four games. Combine that with fantastic free throw shooting, and it’s been a fun team that’s playing with a ton of momentum and a whole lot of confidence.

But …

Why Northwestern Will Win

Northwestern was able to tag the Huskers a few weeks ago.

The Wildcats aren’t as fun or as fashionable as Nebraska right now, but it was able to roll from the field in a 77-65 win, it was good from three, and the D held firm from the outside.

That was good, and the 87-63 win over the Huskers in early February was even better.

Northwestern doesn’t turn the ball over, it makes enough threes to be annoying, and …

Nebraska vs Northwestern: What’s Going To Happen

Come on, everyone … Nebraska is going to wake up soon and be Nebraska again.

But not here.

The Huskers are moving the ball around well and they’re making their shots, but they’re winning this and moving on with free throws. Northwestern hasn’t been great on the line – it only came up with 70% or more once in the last five games – and Nebraska has been on fire making over 80% in February.

There’s a rude blowout coming soon, but again, not here.

– All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Northwestern vs Nebraska Game Preview

Why Northwestern Will Win

Are the Wildcats figuring it out?

Is this one of Pat Fitzgerald’s slow-starting teams that kicks it all in after the first few games are out of the way?

Getting the running game going against Ohio isn’t all that big a deal – the Bobcats are having a rough time – but at least there’s some production.

The defense isn’t its normal dominant self – Duke went off two weeks ago and Michigan State ran wild in the opener, but it’s been okay at getting into the backfield and Nebraska isn’t doing a whole lot to keep defenses from living behind the line.

– Week 5 College Football Expert Picks

Why Nebraska Will Win

The passing game is rolling with five straight 200-yard games to start the season. It might not always be consistent, but it’s putting up yards. Adrian Martinez has been great, and …

It’s the other side of the ball that’s stepping it up.

The Huskers haven’t been great at getting off the field – even though they give up too many third down tries – but controlling the clock isn’t a problem with an O that’s cranking out first downs by the bucket.

Oklahoma and Michigan State both stalled a bit too often – the Spartans only came up with 254 yards last week – and now Nebraska gets a Northwestern offense that can’t get anything going with the downfield passing game.

– Week 5 College Football Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Enough is enough.

Scott Frost and Nebraska went from being a major disappointment, to winning two games they should’ve against Fordham and Buffalo, to coming up with two totally acceptable and gut-wrenching road losses to Oklahoma and Michigan State.

This is one win the coach and program must win.

The Huskers are playing well, but it has to translate into a relatively easy victory against a Northwestern team that’s a mere shadow of its 2020 self. A few early Big Red scores will force the Wildcats to press, and it won’t go well.

It’s Northwestern – and it’s Nebraska – so there will be a bit of second-half comeback thanks to a few Husker mistakes. It won’t be as easy as it should be, but Nebraska will get the win with Martinez being the difference-maker to control the clock and the game in the fourth quarter.
