NU vs NW prediction

Hilltop

All-Conference
Not many guesses over in the contest crib...  did everyone forget or just lose all interest after Wisconsin cancelled?  




 
There are more important and consequential things happening this week than Husker game day prep.

I’m going to go with 42-14. We getting the offense going with Omar and the D continues to be good against the run and we force them to throw most of the game. I think our DBs get some breaks their  way this game. 

 
Red NU 31 - Purple NU 21

Huskers jump to early lead due to more Frost creativity with his offensive tools. Wildcats adjust and close to 3 late in the 3rd quarter.  The TRUE NU scores mid 4th and defense salts it away... 31-21 Big Red!

Or I could be completely wrong....just happy to have a distraction on Saturday.  Here is hoping everyone involved in the game stays safe and healthy.

We will go up by 17 points in the 1st half. 
they will kick a FG with under a minute remaining in the 1st half, swinging momentum. 
 

they get the ball to start the 2nd half and score a quick TD, closing the gap to 7. 
 

we will have a sustained drive after that only to stall at their 30 yd line with several penalties and a wasted timeout that push us back to the 47 yd line. 
 

we punt. They go 97 yds in 14 plays and 8:08 off the clock. Aided by 2 questionable PI calls on 3rd and 17 or more during the drive. 
 

we counter their long TD drive with a fumbled snap, a false start and a blown screen pass into the boundary for a nice 00:52 drive and 3 n out. 
 

they score a TD, after a nice punt return to our 48 yd line,  on a scramble to the right by their QB under pressure, finding a wide open WR in the back of the end zone. 
 

Subsequently, we trade punts and field position for approx 8 more minutes. We try and throw together a late drive to win, thwarted by a dropped pass and a holding  penalty after gaining enough yds for a first down. 
 

we play to go into overtime but their QB completes a pass on 3rd and 12 over the middle and the WR  runs to our 42 yd line. A draw, a quick out and a kill snap lines  them up for a 41 yd field goal which they make for the Win. 
 

tell me I’m wrong.

You're wrong.

 
41-17 NU. Got a lotta juice in the veins and optimistic after that OSU loss. I thought they played tough and biggest knocks are self-inflicted mistakes / wheels falling off after the scoop and score.

AM with another unforced/careless turnover will turn into easy points

The Blackshirts or ST gets a score.
