The Huskers tried to use their young bench to make it to the second half and OSU went on a run. Nebraska didn't come out the second half vs. the Buckeyes and ended up being rolled by 31. Since that time neither team has been able to close out a game, including OSU losing their first 3 games of the year. The Buckeyes have been a little banged up, including a slumping Leznelle Smith, but have also been playing some pretty good teams. Nebraska has had 8 days to prepare for this game and perhaps to stretch out the bench we will see some David Rivers (and maybe some Mike Peltz). While Tim Miles has never been a fan of zone, it seems like the lanky Rivers would make a great front man in some 3/4th court pressure against a Buckeye team that hasn't handled the zone all that well. Keep OSU turning over the ball, never let them get into that comfort zone, and stay out of foul trouble...these are the things that can lead to a win against a vulnerable Buckeye squad on the road. The Huskers are continuing to show sings of team chemistry...can they play a complete game as a team? Prediction: Ohio St 72 - Nebraska 64 Click here to view the article Quote
