Nebraska vs Indianus official prediction thread

Does anybody seriously believe that Indianus has a better set of skill position players than Colorado? Does anybody believe that Indianus has a better defense than Illinois and Buttgers?


I know the theory of transitive property doesn't hold water in CFB but Indianus hasn't faced the schedule we have. We also have to believe that we have a coaching staff advantage as well. Their advantage is being at home but do Indianus football fans really know how to create an advantage for their team?
I did a bit of a deep drive on who each of us have played so far. Sure, Nebraska has played some terrible teams in UTEP, Northern Cockeye and Purdoodoo. But we also have played some decent teams in Colorado, Illinois and Buttgers. Indianus hasn't played a team over .500! Colorado would likely be undefeated with Indianus's schedule. Illinois definitely would be, and I bet that Buttgers would be too.

Colorado and Illinois are both better than Indianus. We destroyed one of those teams and lost to the other in OT. This game will likely come down to the 4th quarter. If the defense is who we think they are, then we win this game.

Indianus's coach is a cocky sumbitch. And I think their players are starting to buy in that they are pretty damn good. But they haven't been punched in the mouth yet. It will be interesting to see how the respond to some adversity and playing a team with a pulse.

21-17 has been my gut feeling all week. But now I'm getting a sneaky feeling that special teams comes up big for us this week. I think we house a return AND block a kick. 31-20 GBR

I was 100% with you until I read this. The best we can hope for going forward is special teams don't cost us games. Hope you are right and I'm wrong of course.
 
Baylor boy from ON3 picked Nebraska:
1. Rhule will have us prepared
2. DR's training wheels will be taken off and he's going to spin in
3. Blackshirts will have another day
I think there's a world where we meat slap them. Colorado is probably easier to stop because they never run the ball, but Indianus ain't got the horses at WR who we meat slapped all day

I think this fully comes down to our defense. I have no doubt DR and the fellas can do "just enough" to get it done.

I get that reservation. But as bad as special teams ha e been, and they have been abysmal, we have made a handful of special teams plays too. We have blocked a kick, converted a fake punt, stopped a fake punt and flipped the field a handful of times.

I'm not saying that we will boot a 55 yard field goal or anything - we just don't have the players to make those type of plays. But we do have what it takes to block a kick and house a return. I think it happens this week.
 
Man based on the defensive performance so far by Nebraska there are sure a lot of people thinking Indianus is going to light up the Blackshirts. Holy crap so many predictions of 30 plus and some 40's in there. There is no chance Indianus scores 40 points. Come on guys. Could they score some points sure but 30-40? No way.

If Indianus wins, I say 24-17 We beat ourselves again for the 90th time in 10 years.

If Nebraska wins, I say 28 - 20 and we run the ball quite well.
