After a brutal loss to Minnesota two weeks ago, where nothing went right offensively for the Cornhuskers, Nebraska got back on track against Northwestern with a hard-fought 28-21 victory. Now, Nebraska will be tested again as No. 23 USC comes to town for a big nighttime showdown.
The good news for this matchup is that Nebraska isn't the team having to travel over 1,500 miles to play this game, giving them that small leg up. However, USC's passing attack is great, and the Nebraska secondary will have to be ready to go.
Nebraska has been hit with some injuries lately, especially on the offensive line, so being able to protect quarterback Dylan Raiola will be key in this game.
