wol-va-rine Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I think Nebraska matches up well with Arkansas, they have the CBs to keep the WRs in check, I think it would be a great match up and a great game... Quote Link to comment
Roger Craig Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Arkansas is tough, would win. Quote Link to comment
HuskerShark Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This is the game I am actually hoping for the most, though I would love to play vs Georgia or SC too. Could be a good matchup and a tough win, but Bo usually has his teams at a high level for the bowl games, with the exception of last year. Intriguing matchup to say the least. Quote Link to comment
shabizzle Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 My money would be on arkansas. I think our defensive faults this season come more down to playing a high powered offense and not just a mobile qb. our most impressive defensive wins were against teams with decent/consistent offenses iowa/msu but nothing close to teams like wiscy arkansas and I guess michigan b/c played lights out. It seems like they tend to go into meltdown mode when they get put on their heels. But who knows a month is alot of time to prepare. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 We are so weird this year I don't think anybody really could even make an educated guess. Â Sometimes we are rolling and then lay an egg. Sometimes we are down and do awesome. We have the feel of a very talented team that hasn't really found itself yet, and as such are prone to some volatile ups and downs. Quote Link to comment
AK-47 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Trying to be unbiased, and someone who had seen both teams play a bit, Arkansas vs. NU would look a lot like Iowa/NU i think. Not the exact same score, but Nebraska by 10 at least. Assuming the team is ready to roll. I think the defense will look top notch in this game being as its Lavonte and Fonzie's last showing... Arkansas just seems too pocket-passing oriented to me with a mid-level defense. A great match-up for the 'skers. Quote Link to comment

A Defense that allows more than 22 points per game on average will hold a team that scores more than 37 points per game on average to an under 10 point differential....I will so bet on that spread.

Â As much as i hate you since youre a packer fan and all , I have to agree. No way our defense holds arkansas to under 20 and if people think we can then they are just as delusional as Texass fans. I think it would be a close game though, arkansas doesnt seem to have that great of a defense. Quote Link to comment
Sub-Husker Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 How do u think u would fair? Â 20+ point loss. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan333157 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 How do u think u would fair? Â 20+ point loss. They would put up at least 30 on our d..but our o would put up at least 30 on O. Dont think it would be that big of a loss. Quote Link to comment
robsker Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 How do u think u would fair? Â 20+ point loss. Â I'd have to agree. Arkansas is better than Michigan or Wisconsin --- better than any team we played. I'd have to think that the results could be really, really ugly. Â That said, the Arkansas players may, potentially, be so overconfident and not want to play against a team that they likely perceive to be so far beneath them that they hardly show up... that would mitigate somewhat against a blowout --- but NU winning would be a major, major surprise. It depends on whether their coaches allow them to have that attitude --- if they do, then that helps NU. But if Arkansas shows up ready to play, NU is toast. They are way out of our league.

Hammerhead Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 From what I've seen of Arkansas, I think Nebraska would keep it close. Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 This game would really test our DBs by far the most this season. I'd love to see this game played. Quote Link to comment
Hoosker Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 A game like this could really show us where we are in the Bo Pelini era. It may not be an SEC elite, but it's the next best thing. Good test for our guys. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yeah we got our 9 wins. Let's test this young team and see how they respond. I'd like to get some more solid experience for next season. Give me a good 4 quarter brawl... Quote Link to comment
