cornographic Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Should be a close one. BYU has given Tejas some real problems over recent years, so they won't be s'ker'd of us. T Hill s'kers me, though, primo dual threat guy, might be the X factor for them. We're w/o our best offensive threat--DPE--who, by himself, is worth at least 7 points xtra/game. Consequently, big hole there in our passing attack, hopefully to be filled by Westerkamp, I suspect. Breakout time for The Stache, must step up to the challenge. ??? @ RB, but have faith in Newby and the gang to fill Dullah's shoes. New coaching staff for us, spells miscues on both sides of the ball. Hoping and figuring our overall athleticism--and especially badass DL--gives an edge in a close victory and the Joseph Smithers will go home with sad faces: Corn: 30 Mormons: 27 GBR!

teachercd Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 First of all...of course DN writers picked BYU...most of those writers hate sports. Second, Mattich picking BYU has a lot to do with the fact that he played at BYU but lets not act like it is some far out crazy pick Quote Link to comment

Second, Mattich picking BYU has a lot to do with the fact that he played at BYU but lets not act like it is some far out crazy pick Not crazy, just predictable. McShay picked Temple over Penn St. and gave some good reason's to back up what he said. Mattich's only reason was that NU has a new coach. Again, it is just a perception thing. NU won 9 games last year and gets a new coach so they will struggle. Michigan gets a new coach and some guys are predicting this huge turnaround. I wish I remember who it was, but they have Michigan being so good by the end of the year that they will beat Ohio St. I have read/ watched countless "experts" say Utah should win, but it won't surprise me if Michigan takes this game. Harbaugh is a good coach, but come on, they were terrible last year. Quote Link to comment

Saunders Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Added the Collegefootballnews.com pick, which is usually my favorite because of the depth they go to. Quote Link to comment

Harbaugh is a good coach, but come on, they were terrible last year. I think that is the point...Michigan was horrible last year...they have a lot of room to move up. NU was "good" last year...they have less room to move up. Michigan had like 5 wins last year (I think) so this year if they get 2 more wins it looks impressive and that is not that hard to do.

JimmerJammer Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You can add the Gameday crew. Pollack, Herbie and Desmond all pick BYU. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You can add the Gameday crew. Pollack, Herbie and Desmond all pick BYU. Saw that too. Can't say that I was surprised or disappointed. What makes me nervous is if the Huskers quickly fall behind 14-3 with a sluggish start (or turnover). Even if it happens, I still stand by my thought that the game will come down to the final 8 minutes. Huskers eek out a victory at home. Won't be shocked if BYU wins, just very upset.

They also think Jamal Williams is playing in this game. Sometimes I think my picks are more credible than some of these "experts". After all, I did fare well in the ESPN CFB Pick 'em.

True2tRA Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You forgot an "expert" pick: http://www.huskerboard.com/index.php?/topic/76036-the-way-i-see-byunebraska-this-weekend/ BYU -63 NEB -17 I mean, he created an entire thread for his prediction, so he must be an expert.

mwj98 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 This is exactly why we need to make an example out of BYU. we need to win and win big. We have looked horrible at times on the big stage. Which is why we got trolls....excuse me True2tRA.....all over. GBR!!! Quote Link to comment
