Predictions for Next Year

[1_NUFAN]

OK here it is -

San Jose St - W

New Mexico St - W

Virg Tech - 50/50 - Simply because our coach nearly shut them down this year.

West Mich - W

Missouri - W - Because they are all O, I really think we could've competed with them better this year if we had been playing with heart.

@ Tex Tech - W - I believe our D next year will be fierce and TT can't play D

@ Iowa St. - 50/50 - I think they are really a sleeper next year. This will be a tough game. More like 75/25 W

Baylor - W

@ Oklahoma - 50/50 - Probably a loss, but look out I think Bo wants this REALLY bad.

Kansas - 50/50 - I think we actually could've beat them this year if we had even an average D.

@ Kansas State - W - And a big win I know Snyder is gone, but its payback for Bo.

Colorado - W - Tough game however

There's my prediction 8 for sure wins 4 50/50, and I say we win at least 2 of those.

10 wins plus the Bowl.

There you go pick it apart.

I think we will go 10-2 in the regular season. Losses to Virginia Tech and Oklahoma. I think we will be better towards the end of the season and get revenge and beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship and lose in the BCS bowl game. So that would put us at 11-3. This is really wishful thinking, but I think if Pelini brings in a good staff and gets the players to play with pride, this can happen. i can't wait until the spring game!!!

GO HUSKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do think that oklahoma game will be a close 1 reason I say that is becuzz look at what texas tech did 2 them this year they took their QB out of the game and i think that Bo will probley have are D looking real good by thens thats the only game i even care about becuzz the last time we played them we got are asses kicked and that was here in lincoln so I think its time 2 return the favor and I think Bo will say the same thing :lol:

Here is how it will fall next year.

vs. San Jose State - Win

2007 record: 5-7

Wins: Utah State, UC-Davis, Idaho, New Mexico State, Nevada

Key Starters Graduating: Adam Tafralis QB 252yds/gm, Jacob French RB 83 yds/gm

Key Starters Returning: Kevin Jurovich WR, David Richmond WR

vs. New Mexico State - Win

2007 record: 4-9 (wow, 13 regular season games)

Wins: SE Louisiana, UTEP, AK-Pine Bluff, Idaho

Key Starters Graduating: Justine Buries RB

Key Starters Returning: Chase Holbrook QB, Tonny Glynn RB

Their website sucks for stats!

vs. Virginia Tech - Loss (close but no cigar)

2007 record: 11-2

2008 Games B4 Nebraska: at E. Carolina, vs. Furman, 1 week off B4 NU

Key Starters Graduating: Xavier Adibi LB, Josh Morgan WR, Justin Harper WR

Key Starters Returning: Branden Ore RB, Tyrod Tyler QB-RB, Sean Glennon QB, Eddie Royal WR, Vince Hall LB, Brandon Flowers CB

A young VT 11-2 team could be dangerous.

vs. Western Michigan - Win (watch out for this one)

2007 record: 5-7

Wins: Central Connecticut State, Toledo, Northern Illinois, Iowa, Temple

Key Starters Graduating: Mark Bonds RB 63yds/gm, Herb Martin WR 39yds/gm

Key Starters Returning: Tim Hiller QB 252yds/gm, Brandon West RB 71yds/gm, Jamarko Simmons WR 82yds/gm, Branden Ledbetter TE 46yds/gm, Londen Fryar CB (all-MAC 1st team - 2 years)

vs. Missouri - Win (barely)

2007 record: 11-2

2008 Games B4 Nebraska: Illinois(St. Louis), vs. SE Missouri, vs. Nevada, vs. Buffalo

Key Starters Graduating: William Franklin x-WR, Tyler Luellen LT. Adam Spieker C, Martin Rucker TE, Tony Temple RB

Key Starters Returning: Chase Daniels QB, Chase Coffman TE, Jeremy Maclin WR

They will lose alot of key players on offense, but the defense will return 9 starters.

at Texas Tech - Win (if Leach bolts to UCLA, otherwise a possible LOSS)

2007 record: 8-4

2008: Mike Leach will hopefully be the coach at UCLA

Key Starters Graduating: Danny Amendola WR

Key Starters Returning: Graham Harrell QB, Michael Crabtree WR, Eric Morris WR, Shannon Woods RB

at Iowa State - Win

2007 record: 3-9

Wins: Iowa, Kansas State, Colorado (all at home)

Key Starters Graduating: Bret Meyer QB, Todd Blythe WR,

Key Starters Returning: JJ Bass RB 51yds/gm, Marquis Hamilton WR 46yds/gm

vs. Baylor - Win

Its Baylor. I said all I need to say.

So, 8-1 or 7-2 by the time we meet Oklahoma in Norman. Either way, we will be bowl eligible and have the Big 12 Championship in sight. We must improve on defense, all of us would agree. We must keep our current scoring on offense with Joey Ganz. Ohterwise, its a long season and we ALL know this.

:box :box

 

[Blackshirtsguru]

We lose to Missouri, Va Tech, OK, KU, OK and Tech. Just my take on the schedule.

i believe we beat V. Tech. i am thinking that they lose 6 starters on D. and a couple on O. and their D has been their strong point, by far. i could however see losing to MU, but i think it could go either way. we will then likely lose to OU, which sucks, but they will be good. :box

I think that Missouri loses key players and VATech will be a NC team next year. Of most teams, they are younger and have experience that show their 11-2 record with a ACC championship.

tyrod taylor is going to be scary good next season, going to be a serious issue for any team, plus with the way beamer is going to use him next year...

Knowing that he is the heir apparent at QB, he will be there as an x-factor according to how they use him. I think VAtech will be a NC team next year. The defense loses Adibi, but most are back.

think micheal vick. he's the only reason they scored against us. and he did it single-handedly.

I don't know. This smacks of the same assumptions that people made about Michigan last season. Another primarily defensive team that lost a ton of defensive starters, but returned most of their key offensive players. Chad Henne, Mike Hart, and Mario Manningham returning blinded everyone from UM losing something like 9 D starters, when it was their D that won a lot of games for them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not predicting a Nebraska victory against them, but I don't have them as a strong NC contender.
