Nebraska vs Colorado official prediction thread

[Stan Raymond]

I honestly hate how the national/local media and fans on both sides are hyping this game up.
Realistically it’s a battle between potential 6-8 win teams and making a national headline of must win games

I don't think it will be that good of a game. Colorado just isn't as good as Nebraska is. It's a 4-8 team vs a 8-4 team. Colorado just has to many big issues to win many games.

 

[HughJanus]

FUCK YES

 

[HyperHusker]

34-24 Good guys.

 

[Huskerbuck85]

We've all seen that movie before. Please don't.

This movie? 🤣 I hope this isn’t real but could this actually be @huskersoup ?

I don't have an issue with the bravado or smack talk. But comparing Raiola to Shedildo at this point is stupid.

It’s kind of like watching 2 bums fight over a bottle of grape mad dog 20/20.

Fun fact: For all my many vices and the absolutely degenerate fifth I've seen on the internet, I have never viewed that video

I did however witness the FSU fan who said on twitter that he would eat dog shit out of a red solo cup if they lost to Boston College, but deleted his account by halftime

Y’all are in bad need of winning football. It’s much worse than I thought. It’s like being in Ray Goff land. I have never considered eating butt Ice cream at any time on a football discussion platform of any kind. Y’all have a fever and the only prescription is victory(not cowbell) - God Bless.

My head:

We’re just flat out a better team. We’re bigger, stronger, deeper and play more disciplined.

Colorado will hit a few plays on offense but we’re going to get sacks that will end drives. I expect to give up a a couple/a few touchdowns on big plays.

On offense I think we’ll be able to run the ball, and when the box gets up to 7 we’re going to be able to exploit a couple really bad matchups for them outside of their top 2 cover guys. I think Neyor and Banks will be relatively quiet, but Colorado had third cover guy against NDSU, who couldn’t keep up with a little white guy and got torched all game. If our run game is cooking, we’ll be able to shift things around so this guy is matched up on Lloyd and if that happens Lloyd might go for 200 yards this game, this matchup will be laughable.

Their LB responsible for covering NDSUs TE had awful, awful cover skills. I think Fidone will have a big day.

Prediction:
CU - 21
NU - 42

I think the key here is we’re capable of countering anything Colorado can throw at us, there’s just going to be a few times when playmakers make plays for them.

We have a few advantages that they just don’t have an answer for. Their guards have an absolutely 0% of stop Nash and TRob, they’re not capable of it. I’m not sure if you lined up their Center and Guard on either of our guys 2:1 they are capable of stopping them. This really limits what they can do.

NDSU’s safeties made mistakes that you’re just not going to see in a P5 football game, and they made them a lot. So I’m not buying the whole, “Colorado has the advantage of playing a tougher opponent.” The reality is if we were able to lend one safety to NDSU for that game, Colorado is 0-1 right now.


My heart: Anytime I feel good things about Husker football, the program puts on its steel toe shit covered boots and punts me right in the nuts. That will happen again

Shedildo is really damn good. I think he's a sure fire 1st round guy. Scares the shit out of me because I think he's good enough to win some games on his own despite his OL and defense.

He's won 3 more power 5 games than Raiola.

Yup, this is exactly my thoughts too. Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm hopefully that a convincing, dominant win will break this PTSD in all of us...

Yep. Glad to see someone else saw when watching the NDSU game. Wouldn't have needed to borrow them a safety, NDSU could have won if their starting Safety wasn't injured, really hurt them.

Oh that makes sense if their starter is hurt.

The dude was breaking on shallow crossing routes before Shadeur was even starting his throwing motion and leaving the entire back end uncovered. Corners were pushing receivers inside and relying on someone who was nowhere to be found. I don’t understand how you make that mistake twice, let alone the 4 times I saw it.

Agreed. Horn is a good WR, but nothing like they are making him out to be. He took advantage of some very poor play by NDSU.

I was in the ATL during the Ray Goof years, y'all were truly in a state of misery of which we're very familiar with as of late.

Nebraska won’t make that mistake. I don’t think we’ll give up any gimmes
