krc1995 Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think NW is going to have a hard time game planning us. We don’t even have a clue what the offense scheme will be. But, I do hope we have a scheme this year. Quote Link to comment
Huskerchief Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I see most of us are drinking the kool-aid again. I don’t want to be pessimistic, but does anyone remember last year when we played against Illinois’s third string QB and a brand new head coach and lost with our fourth year starter. I think we’ll beat Northwestern, but after that happened last year and Frost being 1-3 in season openers. I wouldn’t count Northwestern out of it at all! 3 Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I have to think, nay, believe our ST problems will be at least 50% better than previous SF yrs. Do that, and we’re automatically better. dem wildcats will make this a war of attrition and slow the game down to snails pace. But we just out Athlete them, finally. We’ll breakthrough with 3-4 big plays that they can’t match cuz not as good as athletes. we’ll be down 14-10 at half then win 34-17 at the end. my bold prediction is that NW will score in the 1st half with a trick play/on-side/fake type TD. Then we’ll settle down and win the game with better players. Quote Link to comment
TherealTomOsborne Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 56 -13. We will be that good on offense. Red zone scoring won’t be an issue on a regular basis anymore. It’s time to ! GBR!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I think NE wins. But it will be close. NU 27 NW 21. I don't see this being a cake walk. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dr. Strangelove Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Our rush defense might be horrific. Northwestern has decent RBs, so I can see them grinding this game out. Add in to-be-expected Nebraska mistakes and... Northwestern 24 Nebraska 21 2 Quote Link to comment

Guy Chamberlin Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Veteran college betting line guy on the radio pleaded caution. He thinks Nebraska will cover, but doesn't believe the team is as good as last year, and we will miss Adrian Martinez more than we think. He also said last year's 3-9 team made a statistical case for being the #26 team in the nation. It's all about attitude. If the Huskers are balls-out in the fourth quarter, I'll be a believer. 1 Quote Link to comment
thexyz Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 My cat mentioned something about triangles...I don't know what the heck he's talking about! If he's blowing smoke or it's part of the scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment

Loebarth Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Gotta say, no defense and zero blitzing. Kind of cowardly imo. Completely inexcusable defensive performance. Chins is getting eaten up by a better coach. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska football is a joke. Frost doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Mike Riley. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 NW may be a 6 win team this year. Not good but better than last. Quote Link to comment
