NU 32

WF 21

Zac stuggles....but throws for 204 yards. Harrison Beck throws for another 108 yard. the demon deacons....are relentless. The Blackshirts are still solid .......they are looking forward to Pitt and OK....

 
I gotta disagree here. I don't see where Zac is going to struggle against this defense. They're definately fast, can't deny that, but Zac is going to pick them apart. Their defense is very inexperienced and small, Ross is going to wear 'em down running up the gut and should make it even easier for Zac to exploit their very young corners.

As for Wake's offense, they've still got Barclay, and he's deadly. But they're o-line is spotty at best and the two quarterbacks still fighting for the job have only thrown 5 touchdowns to 7 interceptions. They've also got only one reciever with any experience at all.

This will be our game to lose.

NU - 28

WF - 10

Zac throws for over 250 and Ross breaks the century.

edit: didn't even notice that, no way Beck plays

Wake Forest in unable to stop the run, and Ross leads the offense to a big performance, as he totals 188 on the ground as part of a 255 yard day for the Husker O. The defense is solid on most series, but has an occasional slip. Taylor has an uneventful, but effective day. throwing for 212 yards, with a touchdown and a pick. Final Score....

NU- 38

WF- 17

 
Come on guys, lets leave the predictions until the game is atleast next on the schedule...I would be happy to give you a prediction after I see the Maine game.

 
the maine game will tell you about as much as spring practice did....expect for the impact of the new kids coming in, and then it will not be a good barometer for predicting the tougher games on the schedule......

Nebraska - 28

Wake - 17

We'll struggle and go down 17-14 in the third, but bounce back late in the game with an explosion by Ross. Taylor will have his first real struggles, throwing for 174, one TD to LeFlore and two INTs. Ross will rush for 132 and 2 TDs and Bullocks will return an INT for a TD.

 
Nebraska 41

Wake Forest 21

Zac Taylor 21-30 for 356 yard

Cory Ross 29 rushes for 192 yards

Marlon Lucky 7 rushes for 53 yards

NU total offense 601 yards

Score at Halftime: 21-7

 
Skers win 34-13

Rushing-225

Passing-300

Wake is overwhelmed by the Sea of Red. Their first drive is 3 and out, 2nd ends in a turnover.

Big Red capitalizes on field position and takes control early. The Wake D tries to put 8 men in the box and ZT throws over their heads for 2 easy scores.

ZT: 15-22-230-2TD/1INT

Beck: 7-9-70-1/1

Ross: 15-105-1TD

Play of the Game: LeKevin Smith comes through the line untouched and leaves WF starting QB without his helmet, senses and control of his bowels. :thumbs

 
35-14 Huskers win.

I looked into my crystal national championship football and read some tea leaves just to be sure. Plus the tarot cards said so.

 
Returning 10 starters on offense and 9 on defense is not an inexperienced team. This team played a much tougher schedule than Nebraska last year and played every single ranked team close till the end or lost in overtime, except Miami. I would guess if we faced FSU, VaTech and some of the others our record would not have been 5-6. They have an All American Punter and what they expect to be an All American kicker. There will be no fear of Nebraska. They feel they have played in tougher stadiums and faired better than we did last year. Our good fortune is that their strenght is their running and I think our d will shut that down. If Taylor and crew are a team by the second game we will be okay.

Anyone who thinks this team is a joke, go back and look at last years stats against top teams and you will find out just how weak this team is. They are well coached and will be one hell of a battle. If we were playing them in their house I would really be worried. This is a team that never ever quits. We better hope no one is looking past this game to Pitt because if that is the case it is a sure loss.

27-24 in the last minutes of the 4th quarter.

 
This game will be a pretty easy win. Maine gave up over 400 yards per game last season. And they play in a lower division. Sure they beat Mississippi State last season, at Starkville for their first division 1A win ever, but they only won by 2 points against a team that went 3 - 8 last year. Mississippi State only scored an average 15.7 points per game last season.

This should be an easy win. Beck should see some action by the early third quarter at the latest.

 
Sorry guys, I wasn't paying close enough attention. I thought we were talking about the Maine game.

 
hehe steve. I was like "huh". I was getting ready to say "The maine thread is down the hall to your right"
