Husker v Hoosier “score” Prediction thread

[cruelhalo]

Indiana 34
Nebraska 21

Prove me wrong boys.

Damn close to what I think... IU 35 Neb 20

 

[V-Doub]

I hope you’re right. I just see a few differences…the biggest is that Indiana can run the ball and Colorado never even really tried. Much harder to shut down a balanced offense. Second is that Indiana runs RPO really well and statistically we’re not great at stopping RPO this year.

My main 2 concerns are in game coaching and can we stop their run. I fully expect us to play well, I feel very confident about that, but if we get out coached and/or can’t stop the run that might not be good enough to win. Like @king_kong_ said… “nothing much would surprise me” with this matchup. I can see a 14+ pt win for either team and close game won’t surprise anyone.

In the end I think NU wins. I have a very good feeling that we come out and play inspired and I think we will have a few wrinkles (offense and defense) that will make the difference.

I think White's defense matches up great with IU's offense.

It's a great opportunity. I'm not sure we'll be able to pull it off, road games are always difficult even if the Defense plays well. My concerns are with the Offense and it's "scheme". They obviously want it to go through Dylan, I would prefer that Satt commit to establishing the run tomorrow so we can shorten the game. My other concern is that Dylan is a statue back there and if he waits for his third read he's going to become a punching bag. Oh well, Indiana 31, Nebraska 24.

"Prediction: Indiana 31, Nebraska 21​

A good day at the office for Nebraska’s defense would be holding IU to less than 40 points and 500 yards of offense, but that still leaves room for the Hoosiers to win the game pretty convincingly."- Micheal Niziolek

sheesh, what does he think a BAD day looks like?

Unfortunately if the Hoosiers can score more than 30 I’m not confident we leave with the W..

My Head says:
Indiana 28
Huskers 21

My Heart says
Huskers 28
Indiana 21

So many disappointments the last 10 years (at least) but I’m foolish and going with what my heart says. Here’s to a different result! (Hopefully)

 

[xrugger]

28-27 Huskers. Huskers miss a field goal late but defense comes up with a hold until the clock runs out.

 

[BTF69]

I have a hard time seeing IU getting to 7-0 and I can't see them getting to 9 wins.

It is a fun story for a fanbase that is already wondering if Mike Woodson will get fired this season.

Husker 31
Bobby Knight 24

I hope to be pleasantly surprised since I have zero expectations from this team in the 2nd half of the season. Our first half of the season has been non-productive halves after non-productive halves.

I'm hopeful Indiana doesn't get out of the gate fast cause the longer it goes the more the thought of playing OSU next week will creep in and that's a recipe for a blowout.

This is the first time in a long time NU will have a chance to beat a good team on the road and it won't happen until this team makes it happen. I'm still in the "prove it" mode.

Pretty telling that we are worried about coaching against a guy 6 games in with a new team.

 

[StoneTempleHusker]

Hoping the BYE week allowed us to shore up our Special Teams, but that is tough to fix mid-season.

Don't think Indiana is really all that good, but good enough to capitalize at home. Tough road game that wasn't supposed to be this tough.

Nebraska 19

Indiana also reminds me of Ole Miss. Soft as Charmin non-con and loses to any team with a pulse.

Nebraska 28
Indiana 10

29-20 Huskers

More like “semi-new”. 14 or 15 JMU players followed Cignetti to Indiana IIRC. Still, a remarkable achievement (so far). I believe they were pre-season 500-1 to make the playoffs this year.
