Steele's Prediction

[Husker Z]

I wait for this site to be updated every single week as I think it's the most accurate out there. It's not just Phil Steele picking games, it's a big formula and the game is "played" numerous times, then we get the result. I love this!!!!

LAST 13 YEAR MATCHUPS

There may be no game this past offseason that got more press than this Big 12 Title game rematch as Nebraska left the Big 12 because of Texas. The Huskers will be looking for revenge from last year’s 13-12 loss where the officials put :01 back on the clock that allowed the Horns to kick a 46 yd game-winning FG. UT did hold NU to just 106 total yds but this year may be a different story as the Huskers offense is much improved thanks to their talented young QB Taylor Martinez. “T-Magic” last week had 241 rush yds (a Neb QB record) and 4 TD’s and already has 737 rush yds (10.8!) and 12 TD’s on the season! Texas is off a bye and is a perfect 11-0 the L/11 yrs following the Oklahoma game. The last time the Horns lost 3 consecutive games was in HC Brown’s first season in 1999 and while I expect a great effort here, Nebraska is just too good at home.

 

PHIL’S FORECAST : NEBRASKA 27 TEXAS 13

244 rushing yards? Shoot, we've had QBs rush for nearly that much. Heh.

Here's the link.

Yep, Phil is one sharp cookie.

 

He once again looks on the money to me. NU is just too fully locked & loaded....

What does the ST stand for?

I think it's Special Teams, but I'm not a Steele reader.

Special Teams, I believe. We get the outright advantage there according to him.

 

IS IT SATURDAY YET??

That's what I thought, but I was wondering what the bullets stood for so I figured it stood for something else.

Correct. Steele compares special teams by dots instead of straight stats. Each dot represents a ST matchup which favors that team. So NU has favorable matchups in 2 phases of ST while UT has none.

I'd take that score all day long, just as long as we win like we should.

[huskernumerouno]

I hope he is correct but I still feel deep down this is going to be a dog fight.

 

[ESPY]

Nebraska is just too good at home.

Obviously Texas has our number here in Lincoln the last couple times, but it's gonna be different come 10/16. This is gonna be a "changing of the guard" with a power shift in NU's direction. And it's about time too!

Only thing that sucks is Bo is 0-2 in Big XII Home openers...

I believe that'll change in 2 days

If such stats were true then Alabama shouldn't have lost to South Carolina, because 'Bama hadn't lost in over a year.
