Confidence
Nebraska at Autzen. First meeting since 2017. Memorial Stadium holds more than 85,000 and the Huskers travel better than almost anyone. Expect a significant Nebraska presence in Eugene. Matt Rhule is building something real in Lincoln and Dylan Raiola's old team is coming to visit his new one.
Key Matchups
The Raiola factor
Dylan Raiola transferred from Nebraska to Oregon. He will be on the Oregon sideline backing up Moore while his former teammates line up across the field. The storylines write themselves.
Nebraska's run game vs Oregon's front
Rhule wants to establish the run. Oregon's defensive line says no. This is a strength-on-strength matchup that favors Oregon heavily.
Crowd noise
Nebraska fans will travel. But 54,000 at Autzen is louder than 85,000 at Memorial Stadium. Oregon's home-field advantage is real.
Score Prediction
What to Watch
Raiola vs his old team. Even as a backup, the cameras will find him. Also: can Nebraska's traveling fans make a dent in Autzen's noise? History says no.
