clone Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Anyone expect to lose to ISU or BAYLOR?? preseason guesses still on track for 6-6 or 7-5 --- Week One Nebraska 24- Western Michigan 17 Why Nebraska will win: the home opener streak! As long as the opener continues to feature unranked teams, it will continue unabated. X-Factor: turnovers Week Two Nebraska 28- San Jose State 14 Why Nebraska will win: Are you kidding? San Jose St. has been outscored 351-108 and really sucks. X-Factor: turnovers Week Three Nebraska 27- New Mexico State 17 Why Nebraska will win: another tuneup opponent X-Factor: turnovers Week Four Virginia Tech 24- Nebraska 10 Why Virginia Tech will win: Defense and Special Teams, a seasoned reasonably talented team, even on the road is better than a team with growing pains. Frank Beamer will outcoach BO (for now). X-Factor: turnovers as usual- first actual challenge of the season Week Five Missouri 38- Nebraska 17 Why Missouri will win: The Tigers have a better, more experienced team with the best QB in the B12. Missouri's offense outperforms the less talented NU defense and the seasoned Missouri defense makes the going tough. Home field is little help-- Tigers win in Lincoln for the first time since 1978. X-Factor: Jeremy Maclin Week Six Texas Tech 35- Nebraska 21 Why Texas Tech will win: Under Leach, Texas Tech has a powerhouse offense that routinely puts up huge numbers. One dimensional for sure, but very successful against the NU secondary. Shawn Watson's offense and the improving NU defense will keep it close for much of the game. X-Factor: Turnovers Week Seven Nebraska 28- Iowa State 14 Why Nebraska will win: Nebraska takes this game purely on being better than Iowa St. on every level. The Cyclones are battling for last in the B12 and just don't have the talent to square up with Nebraska. The home field does very little for ISU. It could actually get ugly for the clones with a turnover or two! X-Factor: First game on a Grass Field. Week Eight Nebraska 31- Baylor 10 Why Nebraska will win: IT'S BAYLOR... they suck. Not to mention they have a new coaching staff (like NU) who brings a different system to Baylor -- learning curves suck. X-Factor: none required. But turnovers would make it even uglier. Week Nine Oklahoma 31- Nebraska 14 Why Oklahoma will win: Top to bottom Oklahoma is better than Nebraska. Coaching is better, quarterback is better, recievers are better, O-line is better, The entire Defense is better. Horrible Mismatch for the Huskers. X-Factor: Coaching Week Ten Kansas 27- Nebraska 14 Why Kansas will win: They have Mangino. Their system is on year six, not year one. They have turned the corner. Reesing is a very good play maker. Sure, KU won't match last seasons record (helped by a weak schedule) but are more than a match for the first year husker system. The Jayhawks get their first win in Lincoln since 1968. X-Factor: The Fat man Week Eleven Nebraska 35- Kansas State 10 Why Nebraska will win: If Pelini just shows up. NU wins. KSU has no real chance in this game, Prince is stacking the deck with JUCOS but it ain't gonna help. This one could get ugly. X-Factor: Ron Prince. Week Twelve Colorado 28 - Nebraska 21 Why Colorado will win: Once again, the huskers face a program trying to rise from the ashes like NU and KSU, the difference? Colorado is further along in their rebuilding effort. The Buffs have a signature win already under Hawkins. CU wins a close one in Lincoln. X-Factor: Desire GO BO!! BEAT BAYLOR!!

trouble Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Still think 7-5 or 8-4. Only teams I see losing to are OU and MAYBE KU, but I think we have a legit shot at KU. Colorado hasnt shown me anything that tells me they will beat us. I mean, 14-13 against KSU? Thats laughable. Quote Link to comment

Colorado is further along in their rebuilding effort. The Buffs have a signature win already under Hawkins. CU wins a close one in Lincoln. X-Factor: Desire There I fixed it for you. I think that we'll beat both Kansas and CU in Lincoln. This team is coming together pretty good and I'm liking what I've been seeing the past two weeks. CU barely beat K-State and Kansas hasn't been what they were from last year. Quote Link to comment
captain obvious Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 NU beats Colorado for sure. NU probably beats Kansas if they keep up the offensive production. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 haha! "We're back!". Hardly.. NU will most definitely lose to OU. KU will be tough as well. Quote Link to comment
PIMPZILLA Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I like the optimism, but there are NO GUARANTEES on the schedule the rest of the year. While beating ISU by 4 touchdowns is nice, it really doesn't prove much. The Huskers are going to have a dogfight on their hands everytime they take the field. Quote Link to comment
father5 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 What exactly has anyone seen from OU that would make them think we are capable of beating them? I haven't seen it. I hope it's there come game day, but I haven't seen it. I'm settling on a realistic hope for 4-1 the rest of the way and would settle for 3-2. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 "prediction? .......... Pain" I feel we will continue to improve. I highly doubt it will be enough to beat OU, and KU also seems unlikely. but I think we get baylor at home, and KSU and CU both look awfully mediocre right now(not that we look great ourselves... but certainly better than them) not a lot of margin of error for any of these teams. CU, KSU and Baylor should all really be ramped up for us. Quote Link to comment
