RE: Nebraska Predictions
The Huskies will be more focused playing against a B1G team on the road, so I would expect far less penalties this week. On offense, the Huskies should be able to score some points against a less then stellar Nebraska defense. On defense, I think the Huskies smaller D-line will struggle to get pressure on the QB. In the end, I think playing on the road in a huge B1G stadium will be too much for the Huskies to overcome.
NIU- 21
NEB- 35

RE: Nebraska Predictions
Nebraska has allowed the most points of any Big 10 team (78) next closest is NU with 61 so their D is suspect. If the Huskies can score first NIU has a chance to pull the upset, Huskers don't gain a huge amount of yards but do score having also scored 78 points.
Being on the road and having to combat big 10 refs will put the Huskies at a disadvantage, IMO it will be 35-31 Nebraska

Ha, slow down man, earlier this year you say (and I agree) we have no playmakers on offense, now we can easily score 3 touchdowns against a big 10 team on the road, vegas has us at 22, if you think we can get 3 touchdowns easy, you should be playing the over or the huskies with the points
Im guessing the shaky defense comment might have something to do with who they played
Arkansas State threw it 68 times - SIXTY EIGHT - that aint us
The second game was against Oregon - that aint us
Hope Im wrong and we find some spark, I dont see it

Earlier in the chain I had Nebraska 33-7. If I can find a team total for NIU of 22, I'm pounding the team under. I hope we make it difficult for Nebraska to get to that 36.5.

Spencer Tears was once committed to Nebraska. I'm sure he plans on gashing the Cornhuskers.

RE: Nebraska Predictions
My skeptical side thinks there is no way the Huskies can hang with the Huskers on the road, however no one thought the Huskies could hang with Ohio State, and we should have won that game
Still...

Couldn't agree more on scoring first in this game especially. Beyond huge

Unless our defense gets a turnover we are not scoring first. Carey would be tickled at 0-0. Even a 14-0 deficit would be fine with him. He will finally let our kids play when it's 21-0...

RE: Nebraska Predictions
One big worry point for me...our field goal team. We're not going to be scoring TD's every possession, have to cash in when we have the opportunity for 3. Hopefully we've figured out whatever the heck was the issue the last 2 weeks. But you can't beat good teams like Nebraska with missing field goals.

The kicks were very low, needs to get ball up another yard, maybe even more. One quick fix is move the holder back a 1/2 yard, gives a little more room for error on the line. He has a great leg, have to think there is a little mental play going on there. They will fix it. I pray.
Huskies 23
Huskers 21
We need a complete game. Husker fans are class act, fun place to play.

RE: Nebraska Predictions
Five reasons Nebraska loses to Northern Illinois:
Santa plays out of his mind: 24-30, 355 yards, 4 TDs. 12 carries, 108 yards, 1TD.
Carey actually plays Huff: 20 carries, 85 yards.
Tears and Brown play out of their minds: Both have more than 100 yards.
The defense stops the run, relatively: Holds the Huskers to 180 yards rushing.
The defense causes three turnovers.

All I know is that nobody expected us to hang with Ohio State a couple of years ago and we did. I think our Defense keeps the game close and Santa plays well. NIU 31, Nebraska 24.

RE: Nebraska Predictions
Five reasons Huskies lose to to Huskers:
Jones and Mister combine for 30 carries for 55 yards. Huff only gets Five carries.
Santa's numbers are moderate: 11 for 23 for 140 yards, 1TD, 2 ints.
The defense can't stop the run: 36 carries for 315 yards.
The defense gets no turnovers.
Carey is Carey.
