Game 1, BYU predictions

Here's the thing about predicting my Favorite team of all time ....all sports.
Nebraska Football.

I will never predict them to lose.

NU....34
byu....17
 
This could go any number of ways. I'll go with the pick that I view as plausible and would make me the most happy. Our offense is well designed to use the players we have, the defense gives up some big plays, but plays well overall.

NU 52
BYU 30
 
Nebraska wins, but it requires a comeback and a bunch of white knuckles along the way. BYU is not intimidated by the big crowd and will play well with their Heisman candidate QB.

If I have to pick a score, I say BYU 31 Nebraska 34.

Hang on tight folks, it's going to be a fun and sometimes stressful ride.

RIP Nebraska football.
As Tommy Lee says, I'm not so sure you are being serious. I have the Huskers winning big. 42-17.

So, if Bo was still here, what would the score be? 104 to -8?

I have a strong feeling the sunshine pumpers will be out in force come September 6th. I agree this game won't be close, but not the way you are prognosticating it to go down.

I'm going to help you out a bit. I'm not a frequent poster, but I've been reading the board since the Callahan hire. There are a lot of Mike Riley Naysayers on this board who are of the belief it was the worst hire possible and that we would have been better off with Bo. They believe that Husker Football is essentially dead. HTO is not one of those posters. Methinks if you were to flip HTO's prediction in favor of NU, that's probably a better indication of what he actually believes. Probably not quite that big of a blowout, but a convincing Husker victory.

31-20 Huskers. Game isn't as close as the final score indicates.
 
42-14 It's not going to be close. We should be able to run all over the Cougars.
 
I'm thinking neither team is particularly sharp and Nebraska squeezes out a home field advantage victory: N 31 Y 28

Cougar Rushing vs Husker Passing ... the world has changed and I have grown old.

Good Luck.

Go Blue!

This game is a total crapshoot, IMO. Does turning the beasts loose up front result in great pressure to nullify a potent QB?

Does Langsdorf lean hard on the run to ease Tommy into a new passing system?

I could believe anything from low scoring to shootout to either team stomping the other.

I'll take a big sip of Kool Aid and say NU 34 - BYU 27 with the Blackshirts saving the ass of an inconsistent offense.
 
This is actually a tough one. I would not be surprised one bit if BYU comes in and cleans our clock. I keep trying to get that nagging memory out of my mind: "Huskers tap NFL for New Head Coach......Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Mr. Bill Callahan." Please don't be another BC, please. OK, PMA: Huskers 38 BYU 24.......Go Big flippin' Red!
 
Why do you only have two posts? Weird...
I was thinking the same thing. My post count disappeared. That's second time it's done that. My join date is off by several years too. Should be right when this board went live.
 
Cougars 62
Huskers 13

RIP Nebraska football.

Ok, gotta assume your trolling here, because I don't think I've ever seen you say anything negative about the new coaching staff that I can recall. Either that, or you have some incredible dirt on the program your holding back...

But I'm going to go with trolling (and pretty successfully at that on a few of these posters).

My prediction...

NU - 35
BYU - 17

Close back and forth battle until the 4th quarter.
