The Hunt for Red October

[Hooked on Huskers]

Next game .... If BADgers will lose against Buckeyes (likely) and Huskers will win against Boilers, then tied for FIRST PLACE in the West !!!

That's the stuff.

 

We just need enough healthy bodies to finish out the regular season.

Crazy to think our defense could limit every remaining opponent, outside of Maryland, to one TD. But our offense is on such a razors edge that a defensive performance like that could still mean one possession games in the final minutes.

We can limit teams to 0 TDs and still have it be a one possession game in the final minutes.

Huge ramifications difference between 5.9 and 6.1 wins.  I'll take the average please.

I fell very confident that we will not finish with 5.9 or 6.1 wins.

Purdue will knock us back into .500 reality - that is unless we get in some elite transfers at QB, Oline (at least 3) TE this week. Oh yeah and stop the turnover parade. - Not that Purdue is that good, only that they seem to appear they are a bit more competent than the last 2 terrible teams- we will need more than 2 TD's to beat them.

Outside of one good quarter against Illinois, Purdue appears to be just as bad as the rest of the B1G West when it comes to offense. 

[Heretic Husker]

yes they seem to be bad, but they have put up more points than we have, and they appear to have at least 3 sacks per game combined with another 3 TFL, so their defense could cause us to win with less than 2 TD's

I'll be surprised if the over/under is more than about 28

4.8% to win the west?  That’s bad.  Not saying we will, but…..Who’s going to win it?  We all are at about the same level.  

[Heretic Husker]

Check the line, color me surprised, vegas thinks we will win -2.5, but has the over/under at 42

If thats true, they think we will score at least 2-3TD's 

Purdue's D - despite their sacks/TFL must really suck

I wonder if that is taking the weather forecast into account

Nobody is going to win the West, it's just a matter of who loses it the least...
