Dogs In A Pile

Their punter, Tory Taylor, is a true weapon we'll probably see playing on Sunday. Not a kicker you want to get into a field position battle with trading punts after 3 and outs. He's averaging 48.6 yd/punt with 18 downed inside the 20 and only 1 touchback all season. If they had even an average offense to go with their D and ST they'd be a very scary team.

And yet they are 6-1 and ranked #112 in scoring offense while DONU is 3-3 & #120. Hmm

I reconfirmed my 2nd favorite college team to watch is Air Force. Watching a Falcon game is like getting in a time machine and going back 30 years to the TO era at NU. And I'd take watching a well run option game over an air raid offense every time. There aren't many that run it any more and Air Force is about the only one that executes like it should be run. Plus, it's refreshing to watch a highly disciplined team that has very few penalties and doesn't shoot themselves in the foot multiple times a game.

Haha. So our #120 scoring offense is going to "hang 50" on their #10 scoring defense? K I'll be happy if can manage a one point win. Looking at both offenses and defenses the O/U is probably going to be in the 30's.

Another name to add to our growing list Raiola ❌ McGuire ❌ Satterfield ❌ Foley ❌ /s

I was going to post something similar. If we had a decent LT and backup for him they could move TC back to the interior where he belongs and we'd have at least a serviceable OL across the front 5. Losing Rouse to OU was a massive loss that can't be underestimated IMHO.

It wouldn't surprise me at all that NU has a bounce back game in Champaign after their pathetic effort against Mich. Then again, Ill. is also in dire straits and in a similar position to NU. Plus Bielema has a history of being able to take NU to the woodshed. Should be an interesting game.

Looks like two mediocre teams. Should be a close contest.

The B1G West is a steaming hot mess with some really awful teams but at this point of the season it looks to me that NU is the worst team in the entire conference.

Mich - 35 NU - 3 Rush - 75 Pass - 55

Mich. is averaging 4.97 yd/rush. It will be interesting to see how the D holds up against their OL which is by far the best we will have seen this year.

I wonder if anybody has tried that? Surely in the entire history of college football there have been people who seriously have thought that and given it a try.

What an uninspiring weekend of games. Some real stinkers on that list.

N. Ill - 24 NU - 13 Rush - 156 Pass - 89 Turnovers - 4

NU - 3 CU - 35 Rush - 105 Pass - 88 Int - 4 Fum - 2

Regardless if they end up winning or not I'll be curious to see how much the line moves after see how CU looks todey and our anemic loss Thursday night.

I was wondering if there would be prediction threads in the Contest Crib forum this year. It doesn't look like it.

Wow. Are you ever a ray of sunshine. Sounds like we'll be lucky to go 0-12 with a few calamities thrown in for good measure to make things even worse.

But, but the hippies (haven't heard that term in a long time). They're all rabid football fans and prone to violent outbursts from smoking all that evil ganja.

Prediction - Ethan Nation will be Prediction. Ethan Nation is going to have big impact on Husker football in the coming years. Although only a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ by the services he had offers from just about every P5 powerhouse program there is. Kind of flew under a lot of peoples radar IMHO.

Exactly.
