OWH Predicts 2015 Schedule Game by Game

[True2tRA]

 

 

 

Even with my worries about the offensive line, I still think the OWH is underestimating the offense just a bit.

The defense very well could be dominant. Our strength at DT is a huge benefit to this team.

I think we will be more efficient on offense, but huddling up could lower our statistical numbers

Could lower the opponents statistical numbers too. Which will not be a bad thing.

Agree 100%. Never understood a defensive coach running a hurry up no huddle high pace offense. Makes no sense.

Not when your defense is being gashed in record fashion anyways.

My point exactly

[True2tRA]

I'd really like to see Nebraska string together a couple of 13-15 play drives in a game.

[In the Deed the Glory]

Ya. We used to be kinda good at that.

[Omaha_Style]

If you really want to nit-pick, they predicted we'd score 28.8 ppg and give up 20.9 ppg.

 

That would be the lowest offensive total since 2009 and best defense since 2010.

Nebraska 24, BYU 21 - I think we beat BYU by 2 touchdowns.

Miami 23, Nebraska 20 - I think we win this one.

Minnesota 28, Nebraska 23 - No way we lose to Minnesota 3 years in a row. Not gonna happen. At least I hope not.

Michigan State 35, Nebraska 21 - We might lose to MSU, but not by 2 touchdowns at home. We almost beat them on their own turf last year, and that was with Bo as a head coach.

Emphasis mine. Nebraska got beaten solidly last year by the Spartans, despite what the final score indicated. We were never in that game except for a couple of fluke plays that made it close at the very end after Michigan St had "checked out" from the game. Conversely, McNeese St nearly beat us. We came out sloppy, and McNeese controlled the tempo of a good portion of the game. Ultimately, we needed a miraculous finish to avoid going to OT or getting beat outright.

 

The general wisdom states that schematic changes take a season or two to implement, meaning more Ls during those rebuilding years. Thus, 9-4 last season = 8-5 or 7-6 this season. You start from that point and then you evaluate game-by-game. I agree that getting Michigan St and Wisconsin at home will help, but we also travel to Miami and Minnesota. So I think schedule-wise, it's more or less a wash between last year and this year. I'll go with 8-5 for the season as a whole.

I don't know, usually when we are getting beat solidly I turn off the TV. I actually finished watching that game, whereas I tuned out the Wisconsin debacle.
