Poll: Who Wins, '15 vs '14 Nebraska?

[zoogs]

 

17 votes so far -- 59% 2015, 24% 2014, 17% toss-up.

 

Go vote! I'm curious to see the results.

 

The poll is anonymous. I believe it closes after a day, so there's about 23 more hours.

Totally over thinking this crazy hypothetical buuuuuuut....

 

I go with 2015 team.

 

This years unit has a strong run defense compared to the 2014 squad, not that it would shut down Ameer. It would do enough. The 15 pass D vs the 14 pass O is a toss up, not sure who wins because of Tommy. Ill give 14 the edge with KB I guess.

[OH HSKR FAN]

I like the 14 team in Sept/Oct but the 15 team in Nov.

[Redux]

Agreed.

 

Was just gonna say if it was early season 2014 hangs a 25pt thumping, but since it's a bowl game I give 2015 the nod for the way they came together against UCLA.

[Kernal]

Yep, if it were later in the season, or if there were any buildup to the game whatsoever, the 2014 team would find a way to lose it.

2015......Riley outcoaches Pelini

I'm a little bit surprised by the poll results, but it's cool to see the optimism!

 

I actually feel the '14 team has a clear edge on paper. '15 NU is good at passing -- when they can get out their own way -- but '14 NU has both a more dangerous pass rush and a more capable secondary in tune with their schemes. Their achilles heel was stopping a potent ground game, but '15 was pretty hit and miss in that area. Arguably they found good success by year end (UCLA was also quite depleted up front). Meanwhile, I'm not sure it'd be possible to put the clamps on Ameer, and the '14 team probably finds a few back-breaking shots deep on Banker's secondary.

 

As for the coaching factor, it's possible that the '14 NU squad is a Cotton team with Beck unleashed. Open to interpretation, I suppose !

 

Then again, both teams are prone to self-destructing, and you can never count the '15 team out. I like their moxie. Good thing I can't actually enter a vote!

If we run the ball 62 times vs Pelini's defense I like 2015 to win.

Agree with this. For all the "this team lacks talent" arguments, I would have thought 2014 would have won in a landslide.

I think the '14 team would get a good jump in this game. If both teams play clean, the '14 team probably wins -- but the '15 team would be good for a crazy (near-?)comeback.

2014 lost 3 of its last 4 with a complete annihilation at the hands of Wisconsin. 2015 won 3 of their last 4. One team going up, the other going down at the end of the year.

[mnhusker]

It is hard to vote against Ameer but 2015 was a better team by the end of the year.

[Dagerow]

Of course 14.

[Redux]

I think 2014 SHOULD beat the 2015 team, but if they faced off 2015 is the kind of team the 2014 team would have one of those epic meltdowns against. Tommy Armstrong playing like he did vs UCLA would destroy the 2014 front line on the ground.

Which '15 team? The one who played Purdue or the one who played UCLA?
