WKU game

[Rep The 402]

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.

[onlyHskrfaninIL]

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.

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

[ESPY]

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.

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.

[jsneb83]

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.

[BGREDSTUCKN IA]

59-10

 

Lots of running the ball, including Martinez and Green!

 

375+ rushing yards, 200 passing

 

WKU 180 total yards

[HuskerNMO]

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

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...

Good choice :

 

 

48-9

 

250+ rushing yards

[haymarkethomer]

62-6 WKU Wins

 

just kidding...Nebraska Wins

[huskerscott]

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!!!!

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.
