Nebraska....Big Ten Time.

[Wilbur]

Boys exactly where we thought they'd be.  Turn the page on the three games you are supposed to win and now its the game many have circled as the opportunity for the program to take a step. 

Their new NIL QB has performed pretty well for them and if we aren't assignment sharp he will add to his stats and they'll run away with it. 

Loved Danny's play calling against Portland State.  Excited to see what he and Jerry do this week in Lincoln.  No predictions just yet.

I wait to share my score prediction until Saturday Mornings of Game Day on From The Stands To The Spotlight! Every Hawks Fan is welcome there! I'm already getting super fired up for UND- Nebraska Football on Saturday! Let's take down the Cornhuskers!

Opening line somewhere around UND +25??

So many unknowns are this point. I believe we’ll find out the ruling on Wiltshire & Scott. Status of Erkman & Kamara. All playing? None of them playing? Any update on Jy Martin?

We are not as tough up the middle on defense as we were last year, I think that's gonna make it tough to have a chance to win like we did at K State last year.

What’s their message boards 

[CMSioux]

As we know the most obvious factor is going to come down to how our lines hold up against an upper level team, that and turnovers. 

Danny has obviously kept lots of stuff unused in their playbook, but can a defense do the same thing - new blitz packages and coverges? 

The playoff committee shared a few years ago that when it comes to playoff seeding an FCS vs FBS win helps a team, but a loss doesn't hurt a team (except anything can happen behind closed doors). 

Bottom line is we know dang well this team is going down there with the mindset to win this game. Making the seven hour drive, weather looking fine.

Tarlton is a top FCS team and they squeaked out a 20-13 win over Bowling Green. Nebraska just beat Bowling Green 56-7. I felt a lot better about our chances before the season

My guess is that Schmidt has quite a few things he hasn’t showed on the defensive side yet. It felt like they were playing PSU pretty straight up and not throwing a ton at them.

Dear Nebraska,

Nothing to see here. You’ve smoked two MAC teams. FCS? No worries.

Focus on Michigan State on Sep 26.

Signed,

Neb Fan here. If anyone is traveling and has any questions, I can probably help to some extent. 

From a Nebraska fans perspective, North Dakota is our best non conference opponent, specifically the offense is the best we will see. Speaking on bahalf of our fan base, this program doesnt deserve to overlook anyone. I would love to believe the coaches have the kids locked in 1 game at a time.

Only my homer opinion of course... I think this game is closer than Neb fans would like at halftime. Something around 21-14.  I think you score a couple TDs for sure. But i think the difference in depth pieces starts showing late third quarter and neb pulls away by a few scores to make it look more comfortable than it was. 

Our defense has looked good at times.. and at other times the short yard pass game and QB run seemed to be a problem. I would say our defense is my biggest question mark. 

Bias prediction aside, nobody here is taking this game for granted. We expect a win because it should be. NIL, scholarship counts, traveling with a smaller roster, etc. But we dont have faith yet that our program isnt going to lay an egg. 

Safe travels.

Defense ain’t ready for this game I fear. We will put up a few points but I don’t think we are gonna hang with them. I would love to be proven wrong obviously but I just don’t see it on the d side right now.

My only hope is that the huskers get booed into the locker room at halftime

What do they charge for parking and is there a cheaper way around it?  Thanks.

Not feeling good about this game with the defense, prove me wrong boys

1. There are two main streets that are under heavy construction. This is creating bottlenecks. If you are coming into town more than 3 hours before the game, traffic will be busy but you should be able to move around just fine. 

2. If you want to be anywhere close to the stadium there are many garages in the downtown area. Most of them are 30-35 dollars for an all day pass. There are random flat lots around the area that you may find for 20 dollars or so, just need to keep your head on a swivel for the people standing with parking signs.

** I highly suggest just going with the parking garage option. 

3. If you find a parking stall on the street (with an available parking meter) thats probably the cheapest. They wont tow you, but they will give you a 15 dollar ticket. Ive done this multiple times because Its cheaper to pay the ticket online than to pay for a garage. As long as you pay it within a week. I wouldnt count on finding a stall though.

The only way around it is to park far enough away on a side street or a cheaper flat lot like I said. But those walks can be quite a ways from the stadium. 

If there are signs that say no parking. Do not park there, no matter how many other cars you see there. They will tow you. They tow dozens of cars off side streets and private property every game. 

Just find a garage near Pinnacle Bank Arena and call it a day. Its so much easier.

Average walking distance between the parking garages and the stadium?  Decent fast food eating places nearby?

Most parking garages are about 10-20 minute walk to the stadium. Depending on how fast you walk. 

If you park by a Pinnacle Bank Arena.  "The Railyard" area has a lot of food trucks inside that area. Its a closed off area where you can walk around outside with drinks and chill in the courtyard. Itll be the perfect day to be in that area. Otherwise there are a lot of non chain restaurants in the "Haymarket" area, along with a couple breweries. Which is about a 3-5 minute walk from the parking garages. 

Fast food isnt in that area of downtown. That would be closer to 14th and Q st. Raising Canes, Buffalo Wild Wings. Wendy's, panda express. Ect.

When you are out and walking around, ask the locals questions, everyone is always helpful and happy to see opposing fans. Genuinly. I guarantee you several people will thank you for making the trip. A lot of people will randomly strike up conversations.
