Statistically, Miami has the #1 offense with Texas at #7. Texas is the #1 defense in the country.

[@matonmacs]

I don’t think non-Texas fans realize how weak Texas’ home schedule has been for years in the Big12 (esp since Red River is always in Dallas). They have been waiting for a day like this forever. Night game as #1 against Georgia?! The week after a OU beatdown? DKR is going to be insane. Bama has had tons of great games over the years. There hasn’t been a game like this in Austin since… maybe ever. (Certainly not since Chase Daniel Missouri in 2008.) It’s going to be straight fire.

Texas giving up 31 points at home at night is extremely unlikely. I’d love to take the under on that prop bet. No way.

[@Lukuigi]

Joel! I cannot believe you left the biggest stat unsaid, Nebraska is the only FBS team in the country to not allow a rushing touchdown!! Also it’s not our personnel on offense that’s not a threat, it’s Satterfield play calling.

[@WhiteTO81]

I agree. Satterfield is a joke.

[@michaelhansen4228]

The no rushing TD stat isn't impressive, IMO. Indiana could break it this week, and if they don't, OSU will the following week. Then the stat goes away. What is impressive, however, is that P4 opponents, which average 4.6 yards per carry in their other games, only averaged 2.1 yards per carry against the ☠️. That's... really good.

[@tjsokkerplayer]

[@orangecrushhex]

I give Indiana a lot of credit for having a good record this season and gaining a lot of national attention. With that in mind, they haven't played anybody so far. They beat FCS and lower tier Big Ten teams. Again, they look great but if they can beat Nebraska, I think they're going to be for real.

[@Buckeye0103]

I mean they’re doing what they’re supposed to. They aren’t struggling and losing to bums like some of these “top teams”

[@wolverinesfan9021]

Saying they haven't played anybody is an impossibly stupid statement to make. They're playing their schedule, as is everyone else. Watch the tape. I would take them outright over Miami on a neutral field without a doubt.

[@orangecrushhex]

@@wolverinesfan9021 People were saying the same comments about the Wolverines last year until they played some of the tougher teams in the schedule such as Penn St. and Ohio St. That's where the narrative began to change. As they begin to win over tougher opponents, then the same will happen with Indiana football as well.

[@orangecrushhex]

@@Buckeye0103 I agree that it's not the coaches or players fault that their schedule is so easy. They're playing great against inferior opponents. The real test for Indiana begins in the last half of the season.

As a Dawg fan I agree with you 100%.

[@davidroman1654]

Of the two top games - Bama/Georgia and Oregon/Ohio St one was a true classic and that was Oregon/Ohio St. That game was a great game to watch as a fan and down to the wire. The Bama/Georgia was two games in one with Bama owning the 1st half and Georgia making a comeback in the 2nd. The only part that might, and probably didn't, make it a classic was the really bad defense of both teams at the end when they each allowed a long TD. Just hope the Texas/Georgia is not a classic with Texas actually playing a full game and sending Georgia home 38-13. By the way if Georgia does lose this game they not only have no chance of getting to the SEC Championship game, they could not even make the final 12 in the playoffs.

[@briantillman2812]

I just don’t quite understand how we’re saying UGA/Bama/Tenn are “probably not getting to the SEC championship game” when if you look at every team’s schedule, not to mention the rest of the SEC, it’s possible these are elimination games altogether. Like I don’t think UGA/Bama, with 2 losses, is even a shoe-in for the playoff (Tennessee definitely not) based on how some of the other conferences are starting to shape up.

@@suites.74​​⁠I’m not saying they aren’t good. It’s pretty obvious that they are good but how good? It’s a lot easier to score a lot of points if you aren’t playing a good defense or vice versa. I think in skill level from Indianas offense to Nebraska defense they are pretty evenly matched, and same for both sides of the ball for both teams. I just think Nebraska has had bigger test then Indiana. And in my opinion leads me to believe that Indiana isn’t this unstoppable team and that Nebraska has no chance of beating.
