Rep The 402 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Hmm I would say... 56 to 3. I think all QBs get a touch on the ball. And I think Martinez and Green will impress a lot of people. Quote Link to comment
onlyHskrfaninIL Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 56-14...they mabye get a cheap one early and maybe one late. I expect a lot of carries from the RB's and I think there's a real good chance we get a TD from special teams. Quote Link to comment
ray233 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'm going to say the defense has a "let down" which leads to a week of heated discussions on the board. NU 52 WKU 23 No way a redshirt freshman led Western Kentucky team that went 0-12 last year scores more points on us than three Sun Belt teams combined, even if our starters are out by the end of the third. I'm sticking by my prediction. I think we'll have the usual first game miscues and turnovers which will result in some extra points for WKU. And switching among 3 QB's won't help with a new center leading to some exchange problems. Plus, I think our defense will have some issues early this season, but should get on track during the Washington game. I don't think WKU has the horses to capitalize on any miscues. FAU was considerably better than WKU last year and they put 3 points on us....when our defense was still figuring many things out. 63-3 Quote Link to comment
ESPY Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 48-9. All 3 QBs play well, especially the 2nd stringer - TMart. Our RBs do all the work though and our O-line makes a statement. Oh and even though it's WKU, I bet we'll still have a little trouble in the redzone, so 2 field goals for us. Defensively, I think there will be some growing pains. I think we'll give up more yards than we should, but prove to be the same bend-don't-break Blackshirts we saw early last season. WKU gets a couple big plays, but those only result in 3 field goals throughout the course of the game. Quote Link to comment
huskerjack23 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 56-7 With all the talk on how well the offense is doing in fall camp, I expect to see a show against a bottom feeder. It's also gonna be Dejon Gomes coming out party as Josh Bullocks 2.0. It's gonna be 2003 all over again, but only with the turnovers part. Quote Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 55-6 They get a field goal early and another one late, and we break the team record for most rushing yards in a game, including four with over 100 yards each. Quote Link to comment
BGREDSTUCKN IA Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 59-10 Lots of running the ball, including Martinez and Green! 375+ rushing yards, 200 passing WKU 180 total yards Quote Link to comment
HuskerNMO Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 52-10 2 TD's for Helu 1 TD for Burkhead 1 TD by Paul from Lee 1 TD by Kinnie from Lee 1 TD by Cotton from Green 1 TD by Gomes 1 FG by Alex WKU scores a FG and gets a pick 6 from Martinez Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 We should still be doing the Prediction Contest this year, so keep your eyes peeled for a thread in the Contest Crib. For now I'm gonna say Nebraska 41, WKU 13. Taylor will get his chance to carve up a weak defense in the limited plays he has, and the controversy will ensue... Quote Link to comment

haymarkethomer Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 62-6 WKU Wins just kidding...Nebraska Wins Quote Link to comment
huskerscott Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 49-7 huskers. We get up 42-0 halftime and Bo lets off the gas pedal. Bo is not type to go out their and keep piling up the yards and points. Helu and Burkhead score at least 1 TD. Niles Paul gets a TD. Lee scores a TD on the ground!!!! Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 49-8 NU over 400yds offense 5 rushing TDs WKU less then 60yds rushing Quote Link to comment

And switching among 3 QB's won't help with a new center leading to some exchange problems. Plus, I think our defense will have some issues early this season, but should get on track during the Washington game. I respect your opinion. More or less, I just don't think WKU will be able to effectively capitalize on our mistakes. It might lead to some points, but I don't think it will lead to 23 of them. Nebraska has only given up more than 20 points in a home opener once in the 2000's, and that was Pelini's first transitional year. Also, I don't think we will see as much quarterback flip flop as others are predicting. I could be very wrong, but my assumption is that they will not all play equal reps. I could see it being something like 50/25/25 or 40/30/30. I honestly think Lee will be our guy the majority of the game, unless things get out of hand real early for WKU. Quote Link to comment
