– Score prediction and reason behind it.

Tennessee has a ton of weapons but is simply unable to stop run plays up the middle. Also, they won’t be as motivated.

The Huskers are still considered a program on the rise in Mike Riley’s second year, while the Vols came up massively short of preseason expectations this year, putting Butch Jones on the hot seat. As a result, the Cornhuskers will control this game from start to finish and win despite a valiant effort by Joshua Dobbs to keep the Vols in it.

Nebraska: 41 Tennessee: 31

We’d like to thank Mr. Calhoun for his contribution to help all of the Nebraska football fans out there understand Tennessee a bit more. Stay on the lookout for a return volley as Husker Corner teaches our Orange and White friends all about what to expect from the Scarlet and Cream. We look forward to an awesome contest on Dec. 30.
