THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-ARMY PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Army: 14
RU: 10
Was really hard to say on this one. Army's "O" is so different and I really have no idea how the Rutgers defense will handle it.
There's one thing I will say, though. I watched a video on TOS and one of the guys on screen talked to some of the Neb. players and coaches after the game. They all said they pretty much knew exactly what RU was going to run before the Knights ran it. (Case in point: the fake punt. That's why it didn't fool anybody and the Huskers were all over it from the get go.) -That's also why RU had basically no sustained drives. Nebraska knew just what to do to make sure those didn't happen.
So, if the Huskers can watch film and figure things out because we're so predictable, then I guess Army could be able to do the same, and that's why I went with my prediction.

Don't really even care what the score is at this point. My first time going to West Point, so I'm going to enjoy the day with some friends and take in the scenery. If we win, so be it, but my hopes aren't high. The Army O is never that easy to defend, so with our D being so hit or miss, I can't see it being any different
This. If you have never tailgated at West Point and taken in a game, it is well worthwhile to make the trip. The game is almost secondary.
Army 34

...even considering Army's struggles I've seen nothing out of us over the last month that makes me think we win. Add in 85% of the roster being injured, along with our feeble offensive and defensive game plans and you get what you get.
