The Northern Iowa Panthers are heading to Memorial Stadium to take on the No. 23 Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday evening in a non-conference matchup scheduled for Week 3 of the 2024 college football season.
The Panthers (2-0) are coming off a 17-10 road victory over the St. Thomas Tommies last week. Junior quarterback Aidan Dunne struggled as he finished 11-of-25 for 99 yards.
The Cornhuskers (2-0) dominated at home over the Colorado Buffaloes 28-10. Freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola played well as he went 23-of-30 for 185 yards with one touchdown.
Northern Iowa vs. Nebraska prediction
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are ranked for a reason as they have allowed just 17 points to the UTEP Miners and the Colorado Buffaloes. The Northern Iowa Panthers have also given up 17 points thus far, but the level of competition is completely different.
This non-conference matchup significantly favors the Cornhuskers at home, and the Panthers will not be able to keep up offensively with one of the top quarterbacks in Dylan Raiola.
Coach Matt Rhule has done well at getting the program in the right direction, and the difference in talent on the field should show a significant difference. All in all, go with the Nebraska Cornhuskers to cover the massive spread at home.
