Battle of the NU

[Black Dean]

ESPN Football Power Index gives Nebraska a 79% of winning this game.

Northwestern did get killed by Michigan State in there opening game 38-21 at home. They also lost to Duke on the road 30-23.

Like Nebraska, Northwestern does not have a win against a P5 school. They did beat a terrible Ohio team last week 35-6 and currently sit at 2-2 on the season.

Nebraska is 8-6 against Northwestern all time, Northwestern did win the matchup last year 21-13 against Nebraska.

Frost is 1-3 against Northwestern at his time at Nebraska, average score is 24-20, favor Northwestern.

Since Nebraska joined the B1G the series is 5-5.

Average score is:
Northwestern: 24
Nebraska: 25

This is a must-win game for Frost, such as Illinois was and Michigan State. We lose this game it’s definitely over for Frost at Nebraska. No way with this loss they rebound and go bowling, which is the benchmark Frost must hit to keep his job in my opinion.

Remaining games:

Northwestern
Michigan
@ Minnesota
Purdue
Ohio State
@ Wisconsin
Cockeye

Must win against Northwestern, Minnesota and Purdue and try and squeak out a victory against Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin or Cockeye.

We lose this game and I’m out on Frost and won’t be back. Don’t even really care who they would hire next either

Even with all of our problems I will be very surprised if we lose this game.

 

[BingoDingo]

We better win by like...24 minimum.

 

[Cash68847]

We better win by like...24 minimum.

Our offense might not score 24.

I could see us losing sadly

 

[Black Dean]

We have the better talent for sure, NW has the better head coach by far.

I think we can play shitty special teams and still win. I see NW hardly scoring. They do have a much better coach, so you never know.

Wow, one loss to Northwestern and you get all emotional. Thought you were being level-headed this season?

Not a chance. You will find a new excuse on how it’s not Frost’s fault.

 

[Red Finger]

I’d fire him Sunday morning if that happened. But in fairness i probably would of fired him this Sunday morning so…

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Haha yes yes he will. It’s pathetic

If punting and kicking didn't exist, Nebraska would win this one 29-6.

But it does it exist and will likely be a close game.

I'm not a gambler, but the moneyline for Northwestern will likely be really tempting for a lot of folks. It will probably be a high payout because Northwestern matches up very poorly to Nebraska in 2021.

Nah they’re bad. That’d be too low at this point. Just no coming back from it regardless of context

They’re bad. Not to that bad of a team. That means Frost has lost the team.

Wish we could get a team vote on forfeiting the remainder of the season.

 

[Poor_and_Stupid]

We will find a way to lose.
