THE RED ZONE BLITZ

After a heartbreaking blackout loss and the season-ending injury to Raiola, the Huskers look to rebound in Pasadena. The Profizer reshuffles the tarot deck to find a new path to victory. Can freshman TJ Lateef rise to the moment? Can the Blackshirts contain Nico Iamaleava? Believe. Nebraska vs UCLA is more than a matchup — it’s a test of heart, healing, and Husker pride.

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.

The Profizer shakes off the Michigan sting and looks ahead: it’s time to overwhelm the Spartans. Contain QB Aidan Chiles, let Raiola cook against one of the nation’s weakest pass defenses, and avoid a hangover loss. The battle plan is clear — keep the season on track and set up a YUGE October. Prediction: Huskers 38, MSU 17.
