Not likely.

I'm more worried about a Buffalo 'letdown' in week 3 looking ahead to Oklahoma in week 4.

Nebraska is (6-2) against Illinois since joining the Big 10. The other loss being in Mike Riley's first year.
This is not a Bret Bielema Wisconsin, but more likely a Bret Bielema Arkansas.

Nebraska's 'culture' since Riley took over is to lay a giant egg after a win. Their next game is wrought with penalties and turnovers.
Nebraska had 5 turnovers against Illinois last year.

Regarding 'culture' in Lincoln.....Instead of building on success, the players spend the following week with their heads in the clouds from all the "They finally get it", "They've finally turned the corner" praise from the fans and local media. The entire week is spent eating $5 Little Caesar 'Hot & Now's and banging Suzy Rottencrotch between hours and hours of xBox play. Only the bare minimums (mandatory team requirements) are put into developing themselves as individuals.
When they lose they get criticized all week, put in more effort, and have a better outing.

Being game one I'm not worried and I think the Huskers get a nice win. If this game were 'following a win' I'd be highly concerned.
Whether Frost has been able to fix that 'culture' issue has yet to be seen. It could very well rear it's ugly head against Buffalo.

This is basically a must win game. They drop this one and their entire season is fucked.

The Huskers only play decent after they've spent all week with the fans and media screaming at them for their dumbfuckery.

Thankfully this game isn't following a week of praise.

Another post where I want to simultaneously give the finger and a like at the same time... I mean, at least you picked Nebraska to win, but damn.

I will be shocked if it is that close honestly. I think @Knight&Day may be more accurate. My prediction is more of a hopeful one, but something like 31-17 or something is much more reasonable in my opinion.
