Predict the 2013 season

[NU jumper alum]

I scanned through the 2012 predictions and most early posters thought 10-2, with some hedging by saying also possible to be 8-4. Later posters mostly said 9-3. IRA FREAK wins the crystal ball award, by predicting a 9-3 season and playing Georgia in the Capital One Bowl. Pretty damn close!

That said, I think we are going to have a better season in 2013. We will go 11-1, losing to Michigan. I think we go to the Championship game and lose to OSU.

Most important game of the year will be the B1G Championship game. Legit chance of going undefeated before then.

For the realists out there that realize we will not have a running game and defensive coordinators will adjust for Martinez' shortcomings. And don't forget for a D that will take suckage to another level...

Also, no Arkansas State and Idaho State buttercups.

10-2....... Nebraska FINDS ways to lose games every year that they no business losing. It's usually about one or two games a year. So next year we lose to UCLA (again) and either NW or Michigan.

Get taken out back and beaten by a paddle in the CCG against tOSU.

Go to the Gator Bowl and lose again this time to Florida.

No running game. Laughable. Epic Hilarity.

I say 10-2 regular season. Losses being to UCLA and Michigan. I do however see us playing for the Big 10 championship again against the obvious choice Ohio St. That's about all I can comment on at this point. The spring game (if we have one) will show what these young DL's that we saved redshirts for are made of. That's the key to the whole thing right now. We've got the DB's. We've got some talented young LB'ers. And the offense returns mostly in tact, minus the TE's.

We could, shouldn't lose to Northwestern, but I wouldn't be surprised for them to be a surprise team next year.

Haha, I can only imagine how that would go over. NW comes to Lincoln and beats NU again.... I can't even fathom how bad this board would be if that were to happen.

Why? Are other teams not improving? Gimme a break. I have been around the Big 10 since my undergrad and grad school days - I can assure you that NU gets taken to the shed next year.

Northwestern is a good team. They won a bowl game today. We shouldn't sell them short.

 

[AFhusker]

9-4 with losses to UCLA, NW, @Mechicken and the bowl game. Mechicken wins the divison and loses to tOSU.

Okay, if you say so...

I wouldn't be shocked if we enter the B1G title game undefeated and with a top ten ranking. Most things look to be in our favor for next year.

But I just see another Conference title loss, should we happen to make it that far.
