RUTGERS SCORE PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter huskerhooligansdotcom
- Start date
Rutgers really struggles on offense (disregard their last game against Morgan State.)
The question will be Nebraska's offensive abilities with a guy who is starting at tackle who must be worse than the guy who got beaten consistently last week.
This game is bound to look ugly no matter, as Vegas has the spread at Nebraska -11.5 and a total of 46.5. By Vegas numbers, they project about 28-17 Nebraska. I won't veer too far from that in my prediction.
Huskers: 30
Rutgers: 17
I hope it's a sunny day. I know it may sound dumb, but I think the cloudy/windy on again, off again rain also had a small contributing factor to the blahs for the game last week.

Hard one to predict. Don't know what the mental state of the team is. But...
Nebraska 31
Rutgers 10

Rutgers 10
No way. Pretty sure it will occur on our first drive, and our FG will be a last second winner.
13-10 Rutgers with their only TD a pick six. Watching our offense is like watching a folding chair fall out of a tree. Our only TD comes off a turnover that puts the ball on the 2 yard line. We score on 4th down after running 4 consecutive pass plays. These coaches are allergic to winning.
Rutgers fan here. The game will turn on whether our passing offense takes the next step or not and actually starts to execute plays. QB must not throw multiple picks either. If we can't move the ball through the air we won't score enough to win, and we haven't shown we can pass yet against a real team.
This one is hard to predict as I don't know the mental state of the team, but I'll say Nebraska 17 Rutgers 13. I can't see it being a high scoring affair.
Rutgers - 23 (TD in OT to end the game)
Nebraska - 20 (FG in OT)
Nebraska will overreact to the passing issues of the last couple games and will try to run it 75% of the time, resulting in a shorter game (3 hrs 20 mins).
It will be tied at 17 with one minute left in the game. Nebraska will be driving the field for the go ahead FG, but TLee will throw an INT when we were already in FG range, causing the fans to call for Langs' to be fired for throwing the ball when a simple run play would suffice.

Obviously the Huskers will win, but my superstition says I need to predict a loss for us to win

Huskers 24-21 But I am not confident of this pick because the margin for error is microscopic.
Injuries, bad OL play, and an inconsistent QB will continue to hamper Nebraska. I still believe we'll play with pride and avoid another embarrassing loss. Huskers 24-17.
Sparky, hope you are doing well, man. I have been pretty busy and had not posted for a while. I read you had some surgeries coming up. Hope you heal up quickly!
Huskers 30, Rutgers 20
17-10 Huskers. It hasn't been easy so far so I am planning on another nail biter
Besides I just read a column by a Florida sportswriter who wrote he was sure Scott Frost would be rooting for Riley to win games. Talk about writing a self-serving story.
