TGHusker Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 We've had some gut punches. It is time to hit back. I'm taking my Huskers by 21 this week. I'd say by more if it was a home game. The team still has a good attitude and they know they can still reach the goal of playing in a bowl game. It is one game at a time and each game matters. I think our offense will be the key unit in this game. Score points but have controlled drives that gives our D some time to rest. 3 Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think it's going to be ugly at first. Even after last week I trust the defense - but with the injuries and general discombobulation of the Minnesota offense this year, I suspect Fleck and co. have done a lot of soul searching and will have quite a few wrinkles. I don't think their defense is as good as the numbers say, but they're not bad and we don't want to be playing from behind for long. I'd guess they'll have a package for the #2 QB like Michigan did, and I expect some deep shots from them. This is still a game we should win, and win handily. But we've got to be able to adjust to things like forcing the dive read on the option before an entire half of football has happened. Quote Link to comment
ndobney Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think we can win this game but if it's close, I have to give the advantage to Minnesota especially being on the road. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I think our offense is going to come out on fire. This will force Minnesota to try to come back with a bunch of passing and that's not going to go well for them. I have Nebraska by at least a few TDs. Quote Link to comment
hskrpwr13 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 On paper, and based on the season's results, NU should win fairly easy. However, with both the highs and lows of past 4 weeks, I get a 2020 Illinois vibe for this one. The D needs to shut down the goophers. Went with NU by 3. Quote Link to comment
DevoHusker Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Huskers by 10, and it won't be a repeat of 2018. I don't see nearly that many points on the board. Quote Link to comment
Hedley Lamarr Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 NU loses by 14+, I have no reasoning but I continue to select the most unlikely score and this is it. It has to hit eventually right? Quote Link to comment
cornhuskers4ever Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I would let the Cornhuskers let it all fly.. they will have a bye week, so I'd explain to not let off the gas till the final whistle. time for a road win. Let out a lot of emotion and show them what Nebraska is made of 2 1 Quote Link to comment
LumberJackSker Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Minnesota has had an extra week to prepare and as long as Nebraska can weather what ever tricks they throw at them early i think Nebraska wins by two scores. Minnesota's offense is bad and their top 2 rbs are out. 28-13. Quote Link to comment
runningblind Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This game will be close, we have yet to win a road game and they have 2 weeks to prepare. NU by one score. 1 Quote Link to comment
Decoy73 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I don’t think Bye weeks help prepare for the next opponent as much as they do to just help heal up and get the body some rest. Minny is down to the 3rd string RB, but their O line is massive. They’ll get some yards and eat some clock, but I don’t see them getting many points against our D. 28-17 NU. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Frost goes all 2nd half UM from the jump. Finally use 2 TE as our base to counter their D. A lot of sideline to sideline to tire them out and then start to comeback with traps and counters to demoralize and break them. The Huskers are more sick and tired of the "this close" BS tahn the fans are. They come out on fire on both sides and beat Minnie into submission. Time to start beating the a$$ of those we should. Huskers by 14+. Huskers 38-21. Quote Link to comment
MementoMori Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I got the good guys grinding out a 14 point victory. I think the gophers play us tough coming off the bye, but we take care of the ball and punch one in late. Obviously a must win for us. From what I’ve seen from this team the last 4 weeks says that we have the much superior squad. It would take another collection of bonehead mistakes to give this one away. And I don’t think this fan base can survive another stinker to a divisional opponent. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan74 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 This is a game WE MUST HAVE. Despite our close losses to top 10 teams, this team has managed to gain the respect of the public eye. If we lose to Minnie, it would feel like we are moving backward again. If we win, this will greatly help our team gain more confidence and hopefully get two wins in a row heading to the Ohio state showdown. We need some momentum heading to the Ohio state game. We have two winnable games and a bye week. This will be our best shot to get the monkey off our backs. 1 Quote Link to comment
