So if anyone bets on specific Nebraska game in 2024 based on the results of the 2018 Baylor vs Texas game or the 2017 Baylor vs Oklahoma game, because you know, those games coached by Matt Rhule and were closer than they should have been. Also should have their gambling privileges revoked.

Everyone is basing their optimism on the Rhule improvement curve and an 18 year old kid

Everything is based on something

Maybe you should save that "revoking privileges" talk for your high school kids and let adults do and bet what they want to bet?

Sounds like you'd be the perfect Gambling Czar in this ****ed up administration.

I would base it off of UTEP returning only 5 guys that started last year. And it’s his first year at UTEP. Granted, Scotty did have a few guys follow him from Austin Peay, so that may help the transition, but if they’re firing on all cylinders, game 1, on the road, that’ll be pretty damn impressive. Or our crowd noise sucks and Nebraska isn’t a very tough place to play.

I think our D will have something to say about that too.

That's a pretty basic throw. I'd hope he can make that pass.

Memorial Stadium has been a very tough place for the home team to play lately. And since our seniors apparently still pucker up when their parents are in town I’m dubious they’ll be loose come kickoff.

We’ve seen nobodies come in and hand it to us for too many years

Hope we win by 50, expecting it to be a game in the 2nd half

Staying completely away from the line. If anything I’d lean under.

This is an apples and oranges response, not to your post, but I just wanted to point something out.

In (year 1) at Temple, they turned it over 26 times, in (year 2) 26 times and (year 3) 20 times.

In (year 1) at Baylor, they turned in over 25 times, and in (year 2) 19 times, and (year 3) 20 times.

Obviously doesn't mean this trend has to continue, but if it does, it could be something systemic.

I used a sports reference that didn't use actual numbers, rather it used decimal points on a per game average. Example: .8 fumbles and .7 int = 1.5 per game times 13 games = 19.5 rounded up to 20. If I erred, it was not intentional.

I also didn't look at how many takeaways his defenses had in those years, or the net turnover rate.

 

[Husker.Wed.]

I know a few people that saw him play multiple times that say he is legit. And obviously his school was very disappointed when he transferred to us. Kid is one of those guys that just makes plays. From what I have heard we will be better off it he comes in to the game then Purdy.

All the Dutch girls in Orange City were sorry to see him go.

At this point, the season is so close to happening I don't need any more historical analytic studies to predict what's going to happen. Season 2 actuals will tell us if there's been a jump or not from season 1. So now we just wait for the reality.

here is how much the hype train is rolling:

at this moment, we are less than 3 TD underdogs in the horseshoe against what everyone is calling the best Ohiost team ever

I keep looking at that juicy line...That game SCREAMS 45-14.

I always bet on the Husker game no matter what, for or against or the totals.

Right now I grabbed NU -19 (weird glitch or something) and I am interest in the totals, no clue what they will be but UTEP will probably struggle to get 20.

My point, more than anything is, even though they turned the ball over again in Year 2, overall as a team they had improved enough to win several more games.

 

[leodisflowers]

Same can be said for NU backers based on the tsunami of offseason koolaid flooding the streets

I wouldn’t bet us to cover 30 against Westside

Have to see it first & and I absolutely despise the fact that we’re currently favored in our first 7 games

We haven’t earned it and Rhule covered just 1 single time last year as a favorite (vs N ILL) en route to our usual putrid 4-7-1 record against the spread.

For sure. I usually never bet Nebraska anyways, but I wouldn't touch one of their games with a 100 ft pole at this point. Until I see what they look like I trust nothing.

Really like the under in the UTEP game at 49.

A post that missed it's core point... 😅

I thought the point I was making was clear. You know, not an actual ban or revocation of the betting privileges just sort of a figure of speech like having your man card taken away etc.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

I see us winning but in a low scoring game. Something like 24-6

 

[leodisflowers]

Yeah, I am kind of leaning that way as well, but there are just so many unknows on each side. The new coach may be a solid coach, but they went 3-9 last year and it is UTEP. It's not like he took over a P5 team that already had a ton of talent.

For me I feel like it is probably going to be like a 42-10 type game. I think maybe like a 7-7 tie after the first quarter and then we roll after that by just running the ball and our size will just be too much. With that said, because we are such a beaten down program, I can also see like a 10-10 tie at half where we win 24-17.

my wishful thinking is that we go heavy on the run game for at least the first half and pound them in to submission. I would like to see 4 RBs get 8- 10 carries.

I agree that I hope we pound the rock, but I hope that the cream RB rises to the top. Wouldn't mind having EJ and Dowdell or Ervin getting getting like 15 carries a piece. I don't mind a little RB rotation, but don't want the pure platoon style. Ride the hot hand of the 2 and if 1 falls off start inserting others to test the waters.

 

[RedCap]

Well of course we want to legit pound the rock BUT it also would be totally crazy not to use Raiola's arm talent to full advantage.

I'd be careful with that. UTEP looking to snap it quick on offense. Will be a lot of plays in this game.

Unless UTEP is having a bunch of 3 and outs, it might be hard to get a lot of snaps out of Shavers.

If NU is able to lockdown the corners, UTEP is likely to have a lot of 3 and outs, assuming they are gonna have a lot of trouble running the ball.
