Game Preview
With college basketball season close, Nebraska and Ohio State are focused on a different kind of rebound. Both teams, coming off tough losses, are ready to reset as they prepare for a Saturday clash in Columbus.
Nebraska (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) suffered a humbling 56-7 defeat at Indiana last weekend. Coach Matt Rhule hopes the loss is a wake-up call for his squad, who seemed unprepared for the challenge. Rhule acknowledged, "If anything, 56-7 should snap you back to reality," emphasizing the need for his players to rise to the occasion against the No. 4 Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes (5-1, 2-1 Big Ten) are rebounding from a close 32-31 loss to No. 1 Oregon. Still in control of their playoff destiny, Ohio State knows that a second loss could derail their goals. Coach Ryan Day emphasized the importance of refocusing for the second half of the season, saying, "We’ve got to go play our best football here in the second half."
Nebraska is determined to avoid another end-of-season collapse, as they missed bowl eligibility last year by losing their final four games. Rhule sees this matchup as a critical "gut check" for the Cornhuskers, especially to shake off the "here we go again" mentality that has plagued the program.
Ohio State’s defense struggled against Oregon, allowing nearly 500 yards without pressuring quarterback Dillon Gabriel. Coach Day admits that increasing pressure on Nebraska’s freshman QB, Dylan Raiola, is a top priority. Raiola, who initially committed to Ohio State before joining Nebraska, has shown potential but also vulnerability, throwing three picks against Indiana.
With both teams eager to reset, this Big Ten showdown offers intriguing opportunities for bettors considering point spreads, turnovers, and player performance props as Ohio State and Nebraska aim to bounce back.
