Larry the Cable Guy just dropped the biggest prediction of the year for Nebraska football, telling everyone point blank they will beat No. 7 Indiana this Saturday. This isn’t just any game for the Cornhuskers; the comedian, dressed head to toe in Nebraska gear, called it their biggest in a decade, and he’s not holding back on his belief.
Larry’s Unshakeable Faith in the Huskers
You know Larry isn’t messing around when he shows up on “Big Noon Kickoff” decked out in custom gear, even sporting a football-themed hat emblazoned with his iconic “Git-R-Done!” catchphrase. When FOX Sports’ Matt Leinart got a closer look at the headwear, Larry joked the Amish made it for him. But the real talk started when Urban Meyer asked why Nebraska couldn’t win a national championship if Indiana could. Larry didn’t miss a beat. “We’re a blue-blood school,” he declared. “This is the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ biggest game we’ve had in 10 years. We will win this game.” That’s the kind of passionate, no-doubts declaration you love to hear from a true fan, especially when the stakes are this high for the program.
Brushing Off the Brutal Streak
Now, let’s be real, Larry’s prediction is beyond bold, given Nebraska’s recent history. The Huskers are currently lugging a brutal 30-game losing streak against ranked opponents. Under head coach Matt Rhule, they’re 0-20 against ranked teams, and an even tougher 0-11 when facing teams in the top 10. That No. 7 Indiana squad? Yeah, they fall squarely into that top 10 category. But for Larry, those numbers mean absolutely nothing. He clearly believes this Nebraska team is different, that they’re finally ready to seize the opportunity and turn the tide against a tough opponent. It’s a true fan’s belief, pure and simple, ignoring all the past disappointments.
Fan Loyalty That Money Can’t Buy (Except It Did)
If there was any doubt about Larry’s loyalty, FOX Sports’ Mark Ingram got a reminder about his setup at Memorial Stadium. Larry famously has “the best suite in the stadium,” a point of pride he happily explained. “People asked me, what’s the first thing you’re gonna get when you start making money?” Larry recalled. “The first thing I bought when I started making money was a big-screen TV and a suite … It’s the best suite you can get. It’s the best purchase I’ll ever make.” You can’t argue with that kind of commitment! Before heading into the stadium, Larry fired up the crowd with a booming “Go Red Go!” chant, doubling down on his promise that the Huskers would “Git-R-Done!”
So, can the Huskers actually “Git-R-Done” and break that brutal 30-game ranked streak this Saturday against No. 7 Indiana? A win would be huge, not just for the team, but for every fan who bleeds red, especially those who, like Larry, believe it’s their time.
