ISU/NU Prediction Thread

[Cyclonestate78]

Nebraska rolls
27-7

If by Nebraska rolls you meant that Taylor Martinez rolls his ankle, has to leave the game, they insert Zac Lee who proceeds to throw 5 int's while Helu puts the ball on the ground several times to add to his running total from last years game and ISU wins it 27 - 17? Then you are correct. Well done. :yes:

Edit: I forgot to add that after the win Clone fans storm the field where Tom Osborne has mistakenly made an appearance, they strap his sorry *** to the goalpost before tearing it down and then proceed to toss it in the lake with ole Tom still attached. A fitting goodbye for one of college football's true ********.

31-13 Bad guys.

Hope I am wrong though.

Hmm. I read this one a lot. "Hope Im wrong though"
As if we thought they meant "Hope Im right!"

This game is a total anomaly. I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen. ISU could win this game or lose as bad as they did to Oklahoma or Utah. Seriously. I wouldn't be too surprised with a cyclone win or a 56-7 loss.

Im not even giong to try to predict this score. I have 0 idea.

I see this game one of two ways. The Huskers will be so worried about turnovers that they will not try to pass and not fight for extra yards because they are so worried about turning the ball over and their offense will struggle or the turnover thing is so drilled into thier heads that they will again turn the ball over a ton. The ISU offense is going to have to show up either way.

I hadnt seen one started yet and it is already half way through Wednesday.

Taylor Martinez will not be able to play and the Nubs will have to trot Zac Lee out on the field basically rendering their offense worthless. Roy Helu has only had one good game in his career (last weekend) and is average at best I dont foresee him being able to carry this offense two weeks in a row. Our defense will continue to rack up take aways and NU will continue to rack up turnovers. I look for a similar result to last year.

NU 3

Wow! Where to start......

So you think that if Lee starts, the rest of our offense will just give up? He led us to 9 wins last year with a bum elbow/shoulder, and our now healthy o-line is one of the best in the nation this year. If Lee starts, you will probably see an offense that looks like the Holiday Bowl from last year, and that was against a top 20 defense.

As for Roy Helu, he is much, much better than average when healthy, which he is now. He has put up 100+ rushing games against Mizzou previously, OU, Va. Tech, etc. He is 6th all time at NU for rushing yards, and if he could possibly surpass a guy named Eric Crouch (you may have heard of him, he won a trophy or an award or something) for 3rd all time. Underestimate him if you want, but if you missed the Mizzou game, he shredded a pretty good, athletic defense.

I can only see ISU winning is if we lay an egg (8 TOs) or have a letdown, regardless of whether Lee or Martinez starts.

I just don't see us winning this game.

Huskers have too much firepower.

Nebby 28 ISU 14

I will be saying prayers for a win and Husker fans to get a healthy dose of bedbugs.

 

[ISUCLONES15]

Well, according to the manager at the Hy-Vee gas station in P-Hill, the game will be over in the 2nd quarter, Nebraska is going to embarass ISU. Martinez is fine and he will play. When asked about the win at Texas (same Texas team that beat them) and ISU's win in Lincoln last year, he laughed and said it doesn't matter, NU is going to roll ISU. :swoon:



I'm going to go wity 27-24 ISU.

You guys have it all wrong. I was watching ESPN2 a couple nights ago, and during the halftime of the Rutgers/USF game, they had the weekend schedule up. Turns out, #7 Nebraska is playing at Iowa. Not Iowa State.

You guys should probably get down to Bloomington, Indiana to play the Hoosiers. We'll call the Cornhuskers and tell them that they're supposed to be in Iowa City, and not Ames.

I mean it was on ESPN, so it has to be correct, right? RIGHT?!

I dig it, but be careful of what you ask for..........

I don't feel terrible about this game. Not saying we'll win, but if Martinez doesn't play, we've got a good shot. I think our secondary will be the key. If they can cover Nebraska's guys one on one, we can line up more to stop the run. We do that and we can win.

lol

I really hope Nebraska's Helu or TMart rolls their body parts (heads, ankles, wrists, elbows etc... ) and we escape with a win but its unlikely.

Who says he wont?

 

[cyrocksmypants]

Well, being that every single media outlet is saying it's a game-time decision, I would take that to mean there's at least a chance he may not play?

Who says he wont?

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

How does our offense match up to their defense? I think we will be able to run the ball and if Dennard is out that is a huge lift for our receivers.
