![]() ![]() ![]() Rhule should use that to his advantage, creating long, sustained, rush-heavy drives to shorten the game and keep the ball out of Shedeur Sanders’ hands. TCU popped off for 262 rushing yards at 7.1 YPA, generating a whopping. Meanwhile, Colorado’s rush defense looks like a disaster. They posted 181 rushing yards and a 55% Standard Downs Success Rate against Minnesota. Sims is a decent dual-action quarterback, and the Huskers boast 120 career FBS starts on the line. However, Nebraska will be able to run the ball. Sims went 11-for-19 passing for 114 yards and three interceptions, and the Huskers had a 27% Success Rate on Passing Downs. Jeff Sims and the aerial attack looked pedestrian against a Minnesota defense that lost 60% of its production from last year. Meanwhile, we know Nebraska’s offense won’t score much. TCU’s defense looks bad, so I’m skeptical that the Buffs will average 40 PPG against better Power 5 defenses. I think the market overreacted to Colorado’s offensive output in Week 1.

Nebraska will be a step up in defensive competition for Colorado. The Frogs’ defense could struggle more than even last season. Meanwhile, TCU lost its best player from each level of the defense (DL Dylan Horton, LB Dee Winters, CB Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson). ![]() The ceiling for these seven returning starters can’t be too high. But last year’s unit ranked 63rd in Success Rate Allowed, 103rd in Explosiveness Allowed and 120th in Points per Opportunity Allowed. Sure, TCU returns seven starters from last year’s squad, alongside defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie. While Colorado was the talk of the town for its explosive offensive performance against TCU, I project the Horns as a bad defense. I’m going contrarian here and taking the Under. ![]()
