HANC Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 2010 team wins this mythical game 17 - 10. I don't think there's any way that the '10 offense scores 17 points on the '09 defense, but that's just me. you are right...that was a typo.... In my post, I gave reasons that the 2009 team was better and then I predict the 2010 team to win..... My fault 2009 team would beat this year's team 17 - 10 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 i think the '10 team was a big disappointment for Pelini...let's see how he reacts going forward, we all know the many things that need fixed. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 This year came to a screeching halt, but the team was better. I judge by the teams we beat: last year the best team we beat was a disappointing 8-5 Oklahoma team. We didn't beat anyone with a better final record than 8-5. This year we beat 10-3 Mizzou, and 11-2 Okie State (how, I am still trying to figure out). Quote Link to comment
The Maudfather Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I went with last year. The 09 Dline would massacre this year's offense. The score would probably be something like 6-0 in favor of the 09 squad. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Last year we won the Big XII Championship game, until they added time (against a better team than we faced this year). And we rolled a better team in the Holiday Bowl. Quote Link to comment

Big Red Combine Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 2009 was like a bunch of junkyard dogs. Everything about that 2009 team was unconventional in today's football. But we won. The losses that year were some of the worst to endure, but the 09 team was fun to watch with the defense coming through time and again. Seems weird, but 2009 will be one of my favorite Husker teams in terms of sheer effort and heart. Quote Link to comment

At least this year it took half of the season for teams to find the blueprint to shutdown our O. Last year's offense blew from the get go Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Before Tmart's Injury 2010 had a far, far better offense than 09. 2010 over 2009 by a TD at least. After injury it was the same inept offense as 09 with a still very good defense but not as vicious as 09's. 2009 over 2010 by a fg. Quote Link to comment
Ratt Mhule Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 If we are going to do this hypothetical poll, you gotta break down both teams by positions. Id say the 2009 team is better. Who on the o-line this year could block both Crick and Suh? They would get manhandled by our 2009 D-line. And Martinez would crap his pants if Suh was coming after him. 2009 Lee , I think would have more poise in the pocket if the 2010 D-line was coming after him. And our 2009 O-line could hold their own against 2010 D-line. But at the same time, our 2010 D-backs were a little better than 2009, so Lee would have a tough time finding receivers. Even if he did, could they catch the ball? I saw no improvement from our receivers from 2009-10. And of course 2010 Rex was lights years above 2009 Rex, so that would help the 2010 team. Roy made minimal improvement from 2009-2010, so that's even. Now to Linebackers, David vs. Dillard? David is a GREAT player, but I think Id take Dillards leadership and smarts. He had that defense in position every snap. So if I had to make a prediction, Id say 2009 NU offense can move the ball better against the 2010 defense and get into field goal range at least a few times. 2010 offense would crap their pants against the 2009 defense. That defense was scary good. No weaknesses at all. 2010 defense was weak at stopping the run. Id say 2009 NU: 6 2010 NU: 0. I don't think the 2010 offense would score a point on that defense and that is the honest truth. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 2009 Nebraska would have to score a point to beat 2010 Nebraska. Offensively there's no way that happens. Defensively it's possible, but 2010's defense scored more than 2009's defense. My guess is 2010 would win 20-13. Neither offense would score a TD. Alex would kick a pair of field goals for both teams. 2010 wins because DeJon Gomes and Fonzie Dennard score a pick-six each, edging Suh's pick-six for the win. Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 After 4 quarters, regulation ends in a 0-0 tie. 20 overtime periods and 39 field goals later, an exhausted Alex Henery finally has a kick blocked by Ndamukong Suh, and 2009 Nebraska wins 60-57. Quote Link to comment
walksalone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Does it really matter? Both years great defenses were wasted by sub par offenses.... Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The '09 Holiday Bowl team would've given any team in the country a run for their money. I'd say that was the peak in terms of O and D playing well in the same game. Quote Link to comment
