00:00There is a ton of vitriol in a former Big Eight rivalry between Colorado and Nebraska.

00:12The 73rd all-time median between the Huskers and the Buffs on Saturday night under the

00:17lights inside Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska.

00:21A seven and a half point spread in favor of the Huskers, a total in the upper 50s.

00:27These two teams are an area met every year from 1948 until 2010 when both deported for

00:33new conferences.

00:34CU to the Pac-12, Nebraska to the Big Ten.

00:38They have met three times since 2018 and Colorado has won all three, including the home opener

00:44last year to debut the Deion Sanders era in Boulder.

00:49Colorado won big, 36-14, covering easily as a two and a half point favorite.

00:54It's year two for Prime.

00:55It's year two for Matt Ruhle.

00:57What happens on Saturday night in Lincoln?

01:01I think points are coming here.

01:03I love Matt Ruhle.

01:06I love Nebraska this year.

01:07Listen, Matt Ruhle is a guy that comes in and turns programs around, right?

01:11We saw him do it at Rutgers.

01:13We saw him do it there at Baylor.

01:15This is what he does and it's usually always he takes over a organization there and a school

01:21that is a hot mess.

01:23The first year is miserable, although when you look at how many losses he had by one

01:28score, less than one score last year, he was close.

01:32Now he's got the quarterback that he wants.

01:34He's got the players and everywhere he has been, Ben, year number two has been that year

01:40where they take it to another level and I think that's exactly what we're going to get

01:44this year from Nebraska at home.

01:47Listen, who is Colorado stopping?

01:49I'm just curious.

01:51That defense.

01:52Did anybody see any defense, in fact, in that first game for Colorado?

01:56No.

01:57I think points are coming here.

01:59I think ultimately this is a very winnable game for Nebraska and it wouldn't shock me

02:04if not only do they cover the spread, but they fly over the team total as well.
