FIVE HEART 396: UNI VS NEBRASKA GAME PREVIEW

Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Tonight please join us as Greg and Minnie discuss the victory over Colorado. The fun meet-up with all our friends from the Chatterfields. Greg's first game in Memorial Stadium and Minnies' true stalker stories.

As well as the upcoming game on Saturday against the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. The Panthers and the Cornhuskers both have begun the 2024 football season with wins against their opponents.

The Panthers are ranked #1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. However, Nebraska also got ranked this week after the 28-10 win against the Bufflalos on Saturday. Nebraska is #23 in the AP Poll which is the first time since 2019 that we have been ranked.

Week 2 rankings from College Huddle have Nebraska up to #4 in the B1G conference, just behind Penn St., USC, and Ohio St. So how important is this game on Saturday against the FCS school?

Of course, the W is always important but what we are looking at for Saturday specifically is how well Nebraska's Defense will stop the run with elite Running backs. UNI has racked up 386 rushing yards in their 2 games.

Ty Robinson, Nash Hutmacher, Jamari Butler, Cam Lenhardt, Princewill Umanmielen, Mj Sherman, John Bullock, and Isaac Gifford will all have their chance to show us what makes the Blackshirts of Nebraska Football the deadliest defense in college football.
