THE RED ZONE BLITZ

The Huskers stagger into Black Friday searching for clarity after a brutal night in Happy Valley. Iowa arrives built to exploit every Nebraska weakness, but the Profizer sees a sliver of hope in the cold November wind. Match Iowa’s intensity, be special on special teams, and let the Blackshirts rise once more. Three steps. One rivalry. One chance. Nebraska vs. Iowa.

Each season feels like déjà vu for Nebraska — new faces, same collapse. After getting steamrolled by Minnesota, the Huskers must regroup fast as Northwestern comes to town. The Profizer sees only one cure: fix the sacks, start fast, and let the Blackshirts raise hell. It’s time to punch back, Husker Nation. Prediction: Nebraska 28, Northwestern 17.

One-score heartbreaks have haunted Nebraska for years, but something’s shifting in Lincoln. The Profizer feels it in his plums—this Husker team is learning how to win. As Nebraska heads to Minneapolis, can they finally pop PJ Fleck’s boat and prove the curse is broken? The tarot’s been read, the sage is burning, and the Profizer’s calling it: Huskers 40, Minnesota 20.
