I don't need to verify my loyalty to the program to anyone. Nor would I dream of cheering for any team against the Scarlet and Cream. However, I'm a statistics guy and statistics show a 66% chance a Frost Nebraska team will lose. Especially a critical home opener like this one.all these "fans" predicting that we lose should go cheer for north western
I don't predict scores, but I'd like to see NU start their first offensive series with something conservative like this:Jeezus. I predicted an NU win but if you've been watching for the last fours years and you still feel it's required that a fan predict a victory then you haven't been paying attention. Fandom and reality clash at a certain point.
Last year vs. NU, Hull ran up these stats: 7 carries, 31 yards, avg 4.4, longest run 7 yards.If UNL has 210 yards rushing and can stop Evan Hull #26: Huskers 42 - Northwestern 14. If they don't slow him down: Huskers 33 - Northwestern 24 and Northwestern covers.
Side Note for Us Gamblers:
1. Northwestern's Ryan Field and Dublin's Aviva Arena are natural turf fields.
2. Don't underestimate Coach Fitzgerald, who is the best coach in the Big Ten for what he gets to work with every year.

Not only that, I'll have to change my moniker to itsnotaseasyas1-2-3.If the good guys lose this game, the board will be flooded with iowasucks and mildcat trolls and lots of "the n stands for knowledge' propaganda and boogie man tales how they will soon be booted from the b1g.
If Smothers rushes for a TD it's likely a blowout for the good guys.Huskers win. Smothers rushes for a TD.
At my age, I'm just effen happy they haven't turned into ovaries.28-13 Nebraska.
Northwestern has no offense. We’d have to turn the ball over like 4 times in our territory for them to beat us. That can’t happen, right?
RIGHT????
My nuts are really shriveled up tight in the sack this week btw. They know its Husker season and they’re scared to get punched AGAIN.
Neb 27Yes, just got back from next Sunday this morning. Spent the day arranging a 100% home equity loan to put on NW with the points.
Can I use some of your bullet points as I try to formulate my prediction on the opener?Pittsburgh lost to Virginia in first game OC Whipple coached in 2019 by score of 30-14.
Northwestern is a little more of a challenge than Austin Peay and UMass the past two openers he was OC for Pitt.
Nebraska in a close one seems probable in Dublin, based on past series history.
Isn't this QB Casey Thompson's first season start in College?
In 2021, Thompson started the final 10 games of the year at Texas.
We know he enters game with plenty of confidence.
Turnovers, special teams and explosive plays are often huge in season openers.
In both 2018 and 2020, Northwestern opened with B1G wins in season openers, at Purdue and vs. Maryland, respectively.
Does Pat Fitzgerald bounce back in 2022?
48 NebraskaCall your shot!
NU 31 - NW 12
In regards to getting Mathis:NW- 27
NU - 20
Considering your track record of being correct, I like your prediction.Not going to win a bidding war with UT.
Unless, of course, you’re an Iowa fan. Fandom and reality never clash in hogeyeland…I suppose it’s difficult for the hogeye fans being so obsessed with husker football to find time to fully cheer for Ioway….Jeezus. I predicted an NU win but if you've been watching for the last fours years and you still feel it's required that a fan predict a victory then you haven't been paying attention. Fandom and reality clash at a certain point.
