Predict the Huskers' record.

[The Iron Horse]

Okay, so what do you think it will be Nebraska's record at the end of the season? I say, and call me crazy 13 and 1. Yeah, I said it, 13 and 1 and that one loss won't be in a bowl game or Michigan or the B1G conference title game, it will come to Penn State. So yeah, fuck it, that's what I think, and I guess this could be one of those threads people will bring back to mock others...

[HawkeyeHater]

Going out on a limb......


I'll say 10-4




Shocker...

 

[FNG]

I smell 10-4!

 

[HuskerInSecLand]

10-4 is hitting good. I'll let her ride.

No. Seriously Loss to PSU, CCG and Bowl and everyone will be celebrating breaking the 4 loss mark.

 

[huskers1217]

14-0



































or 10-4

 

[BigRedMoe]

11-3 with another loss in the CCG....

I would consider that head way though.

is one of those losses in the bowl game?

 

[Red_Alert]

Those saying 10-4 are assuming a CCG.

I don't know that the Huskers make the CCG.

Big road game @ Michigan I figure to lose. That would mean Michigan will have to lose twice for the Huskers to get back into the CCG. Ohio St will be a potential Michigan loss, so there's one.

I think the Huskers flop somewhere else in the division as well. Either N'Western, Mich St, Penn St, or Iowa (all close games last season). If that happens and they do lose to Michigan as well, then Michigan will have to lose 3 times in conference for the Huskers to get to the CCG.

UCLA has a lot of talent and is in year two under Mora.
I count whatever bowl game as a loss as well.

Hence 10-3

 

[BigRedMoe]

is one of those losses in the bowl game?

Yes, I have them dropping either PSU or Michy plus the CCG and Bowl.

I have just depressed myself despite predicting an "improvement" record-wise.

 

[Footballnut]

Alright... i'll play. I think it's important to look at the schedule when considering this. Also throw in the fact that this defense will be about the same as it was last year just more athletic but less experience and this is what I come up with (home games in RED:

Wyoming - W
Southern Miss - W
UCLA - W*
SDSU - W
Illinois - W
Purdue - W
Minnesota - W
Northwestern - W
Michigan - L*
Michigan State - W
Penn State - W
Iowa - W
Ohio State (CCG) - L

So my prediction with a 13 game schedule (not including Bowl Game) is 11-2, and not because we are that good, but because our opponents are that bad. I put asterisks in there because I could see us losing to UCLA (though we haven't lost a non-con home game since 2008) at home and could definitely see us winning at Michigan (though they haven't lost a conference home game in since 2009). I don't think we let Northwestern sneak up on us and Michigan State just can't beat us (8-0 all time). And PSU will have no depth, so while I think they will be okay early in the year they will have little depth late in the year and Iowa will be... well... Iowa.

14-0

I know one thing, bet the over in the first game of the season. I think the line is 25 or something, Under Bo, the first game of the season avg victory margin is over 30. I don't gamble, but if that's your thing. Knock yourself silly.

 

[tometom]

It's way to early to tell, but from what I saw out of our defense in the spring game. my early prediction would be 10-3 (losses to Michigan, UCLA, Northwestern are my best guess). I chose these 3 losses because our defense matches up poorly against them. MSU and PSU both use pocket passers, so I see us matching up better. Assuming OSU, Mich, NW, possibly Wiscy are ahead of us in the bowl line up, I think we get a decent matchup there and win.

Now all this could change if Bo does something to shore up our defense. I don't think UCLA, Mich or NW are unwinnable, but they aren't going to be won solely by our O, our D needs to get stops. If Bo can do that I could see us getting into the CCG.

 

[blkflagmafia]

You getting to CCG isn't a lock bc a loss to Michigan might do us in bc Michigan conference wise probably one losses 1-2 so that game will be the division championship.

Ucla will be a shootout but they lost some key defenders to so edge neb

I think we lose to Michigan and someone else psu is a dangerous trap game msu will have defense but no O.

I think we go 10-2 miss the CCG and maybe we can snag a bcs bowl if rank high enough

But I'm split bc I think we can beat Michigan but when we win a big important game we choke some where else aka msu nwestern 2011

So either 10-2 miss CCG Or 11-2 L to osu in CCG

 

[rmilia1]

Ill say 10-3 for the Huskers. Losses to Michigan, UCLA and NW and a win in the Outback Bowl.

True.. Don't know what I was thinking..

9-4

 

[bigred472]

Ill say 10-3 for the Huskers. Losses to Michigan, UCLA and NW and a win in the Outback Bowl.

Agree here except for the Outback Bowl which we won't win either. Then if it's the new ADs decision to hire an assistant from somewhere--hope and pray he can lure Scott Frost from Oregon.
