huskers1 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 1. Nebraska- Much, much more team speed than last year 2. Kansas- Average o and d lines at best, will hurt them 3. Missouri- Still has a fair amount of talent 4. Colorado- Not good but better than 5 and 6 5. Iowa St.- No D and no depth 6 Kansas St.- UNO might beat them. Quote Link to comment

I know snyder can coach but look at his players he is coaching. Quote Link to comment

Colorado and Missouri are more talented than K-State right now. Not only that, but borNred had it spot on, because Snyder's last two seasons were meager and generally unimpressive. Plus, after a lengthy hiatus he has to get back into the groove of things. 3 out of 6 B12 North coaches have been in the B12 for 4+ years, and people think Snyder can turn around a team who's best player is 5'8, 165 pounds?

Cy the Cyclone Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 2009 BIG 12 NORTH PRESEASON FORECAST 1. Nebraska ... Suh and the Blackshirts are set to dominate again 2. Kansas...

Iowa State ... They can move the ball, but couldn't stop a D-III team Thoughts? Well...since you DID ask.... 1. Kansas...With Reesing and his core skill players back, they should be just a tad bit better than everyone else. NOBODY in the Big 12 had a particularly stellar defense last year. If Kansas can manage to put together even an average defensive effort, they should be good to go. 2. Nebraska...Sorry, but until I can be sure that the LB and secondary aren't going to get shredded by pass-happy spread offenses in the Big 12, I can't justify a first place finish...IF the running game takes off and IF Lee can play like a verteran from day one and IF the O-line holds together and the young receivers hold up, the the Huskers could play themselves to the top, but right now, there are a lot of questions. 3T - Missouri...Gabbert is going to have to show me he can lead more than a group of frat boys on a panty raid before I'll even be convinced he's a solid leader. With all the departures on offense and defense (which didn't particularly cover itself with glory last year), I'm pretty sure Missouri is going to tumble 3T - Iowa State - The defense that couldn't stop a D-III team was Chizik's (the defensive genius) defense. You'll be seeing different personnel sets, different formations and a lot more aggressive play...and ISU looks like it might be turning the corner in personnel...especially in the secondary. The offense was very effective last year and with everyone essentially back...will continue to do so. 5 - K-State...Snyder will be a lot better than Prince...but the players are still the same bunch of cast-offs and Juco's that they had last year. Without an experienced QB, a lot of newcomers and a questionale defense, I'm thinking K-State is in for a long season. 6 - Colorado...The two QB system doesn't work for good teams and it won't work for Colorado...Look for Hawkins to get mad at his kid for not moving the team, replacing him in the middle of the season...and finally replacing the replacement again near the end so he can maybe get his kid a late draft pick so he can pay for his retirement after CU can's him whent he season ends.

And no way K-State finishes 3rd, the cuboards are totally bare there. Quote Link to comment

Iowa State ... They can move the ball, but couldn't stop a D-III team Thoughts? I agree that Nebraska will be "Top Dawg" (yeah I said it) this year..but to say that we are set to dominate again is a bit of an overstatement...the defense had moments of brilliance last year but they also had a couple of WTF moments.... I can only see us getting better.... Oh and numbers 2 - 6 are all gonna get their a$$e$ waxed by the Big Red anyways...so no point in even figuring out 2 - 6. Quote Link to comment
