Northwestern prediction thread

I am feeling something strange these days about Husker football: optimism.

Is the dude in the GIF representative of Nebraska or NW?

 

[BugsAreQualityProtein]

21-13 Nebraska, going conservative. Not convinced are OL will be all that improved. Will be hard to run the ball on them. Northwestern will score it’s lone touchdown because of some special teams gaffe.

Looks like a Nebraska ST "miscue".

Well of course NW will have some lame WR go off, we know that much.

The Man-Killing Mastadons: 34

Wild Cats: 17

Fumbles: 1

ST gaffes: 2

False starts: 2

High snaps: 1

Interceptions thrown: 1

Some dumb personal foul after a play: 1

Reviews for a forward pitch after the play: 1

And remember guys holding only counts for teams west of the Missouri. Record non calls, never forget.

Nebraska is at least 2 TDs better than Northwestern - on paper. Fitzgerald sounded pretty confident about his team's chances this week. Nebraska will win comfortably but NW covers with a last minute TD+2.

I don’t think we’re capable of scoring 30 points against a B1G team.

Wildcats - 20
Huskers - 35

 

[TheNewNU_rivals50820]

20-17 Northwestern

 

[gw2kpro]

27-13 good guys if the NW starting QB stays in the game.

28-24 NW wins if their second / third string QB plays 2 quarters or more. Every backup QB lights us up like a Christmas tree.

 

[artguy68]

Defensive battle. Their offense with their QB3 won't be able to do much, while ours will be hampered by more poor OL play.

NU 20 NW 10

 

[VictoryRed]

Always a close game . NU 26 NW 17.

 

[cestrup]

Wish we could run the ball - 13
Special teams mistakes - 37

 

[The_Glove_Man_rivals300278]

I've yet to see this offense hum. I don't see us scoring more than 28. But the defense is humming and I don't see them allowing more than 14. So... 28 for us, 14+however many points their defense and special teams contribute.

Which will make it close.

14-7 Nebraska. That will be the score at half-time and both teams will be held scoreless in the second half. Our D forces 3 turnovers.

a beam of light appeared to frost and told him to tell the team not to take 3rd quarter siestas.
(no matter how safe a lead looks!)
frost pondered the meaning of this..then realised if NU scores a lot in the 3rd quarter and keep others from scoring..

then dumb martinez interceptions and sofa king we todd did, special team plays in the 4th quarter, do not bring his employment into question
behold a W

[datdathusker]

The only thing predictable about he huskers offense has been the scoring against FBS

Illinois 22
Buffalo21 (Reimer's INT at the 1)
Oklahoma 16
Michigan state 20

Love the effort the players play with. The whole team is playing hard and fighting. Which is 100 times better than Pelini, Riley teams. The old Nebraska mentality is back and I personally don't mind a couple of dumb penalties as we learn to play with an edge.

I believe we continue to struggle in the Red Zone. Tight windows and stacked boxes will require Adrian Martinez to score with his arm and he struggles. He who hesitates kicks field goals. ( I think that's how the saying goes). Adrian hesitates misses some open receivers and we settle for field goals.

Nebraska 15
Northwestern 9

Hope I'm wrong and the offense puts up 30plus.

24-21 NW
Game stats will be heavily skewed in Nebraska’s favor, but critical special teams miscues, horrible redzone performance, and NW getting to AM all day without blitzing will cost Nebraska the game.

Good win against a bad team. 31-10 Big Red
