Nebraska Football Faces massive Backlash as Bizarre Pregame Promotion Goes Viral

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are preparing for what is expected to be one of the most exciting matchups of Week 9 in college football, as they travel to face the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday afternoon. This could be a significant chance for the Huskers to rebound after their heavy loss to No. 14 Indiana, 56-7, last week. However, it seems the Nebraska social media team doesn’t have much faith in the game’s outcome. They’ve come under fire online after releasing a pregame graphic featuring a punter, which has since gone viral with over 1.1 million views, leading to a flurry of jokes about the once-renowned college football program.

Ohio State, with its only defeat this year coming from the No. 1 Oregon Ducks, is a 25-point favorite at home for this matchup. Many believe the outcome could be even more lopsided, as the Buckeyes are returning from a bye week and aiming to regain their momentum after the loss in Eugene. A key matchup to watch is between Nebraska’s freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola and Ohio State’s formidable defense. The Buckeyes boast the No. 2 total defense in the nation, allowing only 251.3 yards per game and permitting third-down conversions on just 32.1% of attempts. In contrast, Nebraska converts on third down at a rate of 43.6%. If Raiola struggles against Ohio State’s defense, we might see a lot of action from the Cornhuskers’ punter, just as the graphic implies.
