Saunders Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Quote We asked our Magic 8-Ball to predict Nebraska's football season Typically we have our staff of expert Husker writers predict each game of Nebraska's season. But this year we turned to something even more wise — a Magic 8-Ball. Yes, the children's toy with all its infinite wisdom already knows what will happen each time the Huskers take the field in 2021. So let's find out what it has to say — unless it wants us to "ask again later." https://huskerextra.com/news/football/we-asked-our-magic-8-ball-to-predict-nebraskas-football-season/article_f2cbba4f-35e2-5318-b427-df519a7a2231.html?utm_campaign=snd-autopilot&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_ TL;DR Version Nebraska 31 - Illinois 21 Nebraska 48 - Fordham 17 Nebraska 38 - Buffalo 13 Oklahoma 43 - Nebraska 24 Nebraska 28 - Michigan State 20 Nebraska 24 - Northwestern 13 Nebraska 24 - Michigan 20 Minnesota 27 - Nebraska 16 Nebraska 35 - Purdue 27 Ohio State 38, Nebraska 21 Wisconsin 17 - Nebraska 13 Nebraska 27, Iowa 24 Final Record: 8-4 1 3 Quote Link to comment

teachercd Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I see Sam, as the new Sports Editor is really making some big time changes. Magic 8 Ball. Quote Link to comment
Dogs In A Pile Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I'd be pretty damned thrilled with 8-4 thinking that is the minimum needed to really get things turned around and salvage the downward trend we are seeing in recruiting after 3 disastrous seasons. But I think it will be extremely difficult to get to 8-4 given our schedule. 4 Quote Link to comment

I mean, it's probably as accurate as some of the other predictions have been. Also, when did Sam become Sports Editor? Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 They should’ve gone with the Magic 8 Ball years ago. Seems to be a pretty even-keeled assessment. Not too patronizingly optimistic and not overly pessimistic. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, why the f#&% do we play Ohio State every year? 1 1 Quote Link to comment

We actually get a 2 year break in 22/23 from Ohio State before we get Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State all in 24, with Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin and Iowa all on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep. I think it starts a 6 year period with Michigan being the constant crossover from the east, with OSU being a part of the schedule some years like you mentioned. Wisconsin will get OSU for 6 straight years. It's interesting you mention '24. Both Nebraska and Wisconsin have Michigan, Ohio State and Penn State. Quote Link to comment

With Mich, OSU & PSU being consecutive games. At least we have bye week after OSU before traveling to Happy Valley. Quote Link to comment

A new QB and virtual reload at every position while we return a more than serviceable defense for the first time in many years. They should be predicting 70-7. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment

We held them to 24 points in the first half last year, but our offense only wanted to play for a third of the game. And they only score 48 when we didn't even have an offense in 2019. With how good our defense should be all we need is an offense that can score a TD every quarter and we're in every single game this year. I think we have a shot at one of the teams starting with O this year. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment
