So when you predict Nebraska to finish 14-0 you're actually saying that they are 12-0, then win the Big 10 title to improve to 13-0, then don't get selected for the playoff, then win the Rose Bowl and complain about the system being unfair BCS style. In all fairness, that is a bold prediction. Or we get a game lightninged out. 3 Quote Link to comment

Savage Husker Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Run, Run, Run, Run, short pass. Option pass rolls right, drops back, throws against body to post for a TD. Quote Link to comment

Huh? This schedule includes the exact same crossover games as that year, but we get NW/OSU/Wisky and Iowa at home this year versus on the road. Swap Oregon at home for CU on the road. And you think it's somehow harder? Quote Link to comment

And you think it's somehow harder? It’s the timing. That schedule was backloaded, as though Oregon was ranked at the time they’d finish 4-8. Only two teams in those first 7 games would finish with a winning record. That allowed a pretty pedestrian Nebraska team, which wasn’t really much better than the year before, to start 7-0 and therefore become a Top 10. Ohio St this year being game number 5 changes all of that. To ever get into the Top 6 Nebraska either has to win that game or go on a massive run after that game. A 10-2 regular season, depending on when the losses occur, could never have seen a Top 6 ranking. Quote Link to comment

We all think this team is much better than that one, and even if they lost to Ohio State if they were 8-1, 9-1, top 10 is still a possibility. I think there is a great chance to beat Ohio State in game 5 though. Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 WE WIN MORE GAMES THAN LAST YEAR... is that bold enough?? 1 Quote Link to comment

When they’ve struggled it’s been when they’ve overlooked an opponent and I’m hoping Nebraska isn’t that kind of opponent this year. Quote Link to comment

When they've struggled in the past may not be as relevant now with a new/much less experienced coach and a new to the school, new to college football QB still in his first month. This will be the most hostile environment either of those guys will have faced in their positions. That is why it's a popular upset pick, in addition to year 2 of Scott Frost. 1 Quote Link to comment

With all the hype, this may not seem too bold, but it is. We will win all of them, thats no prediction, its a fact 3 Quote Link to comment
