Expected visitors include four-star running back Alaric Williams (Gadsden, Alabama), who is committed to home-state school Auburn.

One of the more interesting recruits in town is athlete Trajon Cotton. Nebraska used a big-play passing attack and six takeaways to key the victory.
Another stunt is where the defensive end pass rushes outside the offensive tackle, causing him to turn outside. You might recall Hampton was the first commitment in the Nebraska 2017 recruiting class.
Nebraska running game against OR front seven.
Mike Riley knows all about OR football.
The coach said players have to believe they can win the game. On the other sideline, Nebraska enters the second year under coach Mike Riley looking to erase the disappointment of last season’s 6-7 mark.
“I do like being able to see”, Langsdorf said. Against an over matched Virginia Cavalier team, the offense looked anemic in the second half, and the defense was pedestrian for most of the game. They’ll have some young guys and new guys, who knows how they’ll respond or what that means to them. “This is a big game for later on down the road”. That’s what coaches like to say about turnovers. And Oregon’s team speed will be highly problematic for a Cornhuskers defense that hasn’t seen playmakers like these in year – they haven’t faced Ohio State or MI in Big Ten play in either of the past two seasons. It’s been more of the same in 2017, with commitments from ESPN 300 quarterback Tristan Gebbia and ESPN 300 wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson Jr., who has spearheaded the #Calibraska movement in pushing California prospects toward the Cornhuskers. NU has eight takeaways.
It will be a good early season litmus test for both teams.
Ask Rose-Ivey about it. It’s not a complicated answer. OR and Nebraska come in just one point apart on average.
He pointed to Chris Jones’ interception in the fourth quarter Saturday. Bugs actually refers to it as “Michael’s Secret Stuff”, but we’ll forgive the linebacker for not nailing that since he was 3 when the movie came out.
Point being, the Huskers being in the right position to make plays so far has been a product of offseason studying. “There were a lot of times out there where Virginia wasn’t even set and we were snapping the ball”, Freeman said.
If you look at the final scores of Nebraska’s first two games, this pointspread might make sense.
Brian Christopherson: Cethan Carter. But this seems like the kind of game where Langsdorf might have a clever way or two to get him the ball. Isolate him against some of those OR backers who are struggling. “I think my conversation with the staff and with the quarterback have been good”.
Today’s OR vs Nebraska college football game has a start time schedule of 3:30 PM eastern time and broadcasts on TV channel ABC.
Christopherson: Pace battle is an excellent way to describe it.

If the Cornhuskers are going to pull off the upset, a few things must go right. The loser, most likely, will not – Oregon’s just inside the line now, and Nebraska is among the “also receiving votes” crowd. A loss on Saturday may only take them out of the National Championship race, but it is a long season and a lot can happen between now and December.
