Fordham +40.5 vs Frost
- Thread starter Catnap22
- Start date
In the words of Foghorn Leghorn to Widow Hen when he agrees to be a father figure to her egg headed chick. “So do ya play baseball son”? Chick with round head and oversized glasses shakes his head no. Foghorn Responds with “Why there’s somethin kind of Yuuuuck bout a boy that don’t play baseball”
With a 40.5 spread I say “Why there’s something kinda Yuuuuuckkk bout a school that don’t play football”

Here's how I think the phone call went:
Fordham scheduling coordinator, answering: Sure, we'd like to play in Nebraska.
A couple of days later, when his/her boss asks why he agreed to play Nebraska, the response was "I agreed to play IN Nebraska, thought we were playing the University of Nebraska - Kearney".

See, Frost knows they need to hang 60 in this game, which could make this a nice husker bet.
I can't imagine he will be dumb enough to put in any backups.

1st game for Fordham this year, and on the road against an FBS team and 90K 'rabid' fans.
Current coach is 8-18 with their schedule rolling into season 4.
Home field seats 7K in the Bronx. Only game against an FBS team is Ball State in 2019 and lost 57-29.
Line makes sense.

Last time Nebraska scored more than 40 points was November 2019. The offense has gotten progressively worse since then. Not sure I’d bite on this one.
It’s like Bellevue West playing Potter Dix. Or Muhammad Ali fighting Barney Fife. That ain’t big boy football.
This is a team that hasn't played anyone from a power 5 conference in almost 70 years, basically a junior college team. They also haven't played a game against anyone in 2 years. Name the score.
Every player that's wearing a uniform Saturday better get on the field. I think Moby Dick was a minnow the last time that happened. Good grief we've sucked!
I heard a stat a few years ago that said something like betting blindly and getting +40 was a 60% winning proposition. Well, I've probably hit 60% or better following that advice, but I usually have to bet against a team like Alabama to do it. I'd say betting Fordham +40 is a good play!
Gonna be a 35-14 type game I think. They score once off of a turnover and once off a busted coverage
The Husker offense couldn't score 40 verses that fake high school team that got trucked by IMG Academy last weekend on ESPN. They have progressively got worse every year under Frost. It would take a Chicago Bears last Super Bowl defense to make up the difference. As much as I would love to see our D score a couple TD's, I don't see it happening.
We will annihilate Fordham. We should not even be playing this game. It is a ******* disgrace that they are on our schedule. I know we needed a home game for the revenue but this was not a good solution to our money woes. Fordham would lose to some of the better high school programs out there. I am so happy Mr. Moos is gone. My hunch is that Trev would never have scheduled this game.
If I bet Husker games, I would lay a bunch on Fordham. I don't think there is anyway we win by 41, but because I am saying that we will probably win like 56-10
I agree in a sense. Nebraska vs Fordham is as odd of matchup you will ever see. However what did you want them to do? I am sure they would have preferred an Ohio or Missouri Valluey team, but those schools already had games on the books. They wanted a home game this week and the best they could find was a Patriot league team.
I thought mb they landed on Fordham for exposure into NY/NJ. Would have been hilarious if they scheduled Georgetown football.
That was my impression. But we also know Frost wants to use this as some sort of "See! Our team is good!" example.
I still think we're so damned inept, I'm not sure we could score 40, even with the field having those plastic, vibrating football players moving around on it and acting as obstacles.
We'd fumble. And when we go 3 and out with 3 consecutive incomplete passes, we'd manage to punt it backwards. And kick any field goal attempts sideways into the stands.
Replace "Denver Broncos" with "Nebraska Cornhuskers" in the video...
We are not the only major college football team scheduling an FCS opponent.
Alabama plays Mercer
LSU plays McNeese St
Georgia plays Charleston Southern
Florida plays Samford
Tennessee plays Tennessee Tech
South Carolina plays Eastern Illinois
Auburn plays Alabama St
Ole Miss plays Austin Peay
Miss St plays Tennessee Tech
Kentucky plays Chattanooga
Missouri plays Southeast Missouri
Arkansas plays Arkansas Pine Bluff
Texas A&M plays Prarie View A&M
Why I'm excited for Fordham:
-Our offense has been a disaster lately. I want to see what Frost offense is suppose to look like when it's working. This might be our firat real chance to see that.
-I want to see what Smothers and Haarberg.
-I want to see what an affective run game looks like in this offense.
-I want to see why Ervin, Stepp, Morrison show their stuff.
-No one seems to be able to practices. The spring game is "vanillad down." This isniur chance to see what's really going on.
-I want our players to experience a blow out win and gain any possible momentum.
-If the guys were to lose or struggle with Fordham in year 4, it'd be as obvious as ever that Frost isn't the man for the job.

How can you possible say “this was not a good solution to our money woes”. How the hell would you know? Are you the Mayor of Lincoln. I bet every restaurant in Lincoln will make money this weekend. Do you realize how much money NU lost last year? Get lost idiot
They played 3 games earlier this year:
3-27-21 Holy Cross L 34-24
4-03-21 Colgate W 40-8
4-10-21 Bucknell W 31-17
Expect a lot of passes.
This is an absolute embarrassment to play this team. I will take nothing positive away from destroying this team. And if that is the case. All I want to hear the coaches say is. Well in a game like this. This is what is expected.
But God forbid if the oline and AM still struggle will be pretty damning to these coaches. No win situation for anyone.
Does Frost & staff get outcoached by Fordham? Seriously, I think Nebraska wins but I'd take the points if forced to bet. Wouldn't surprise me to see us get outcoached again. Once AM declares he's just playing for fun it's all over, mental collapse.
I took Southern Utah +44.5 and team over 3.5 yesterday and won both.
That is a team Iowa Western would beat by 30. Nebraska could score a 100 in this game and it doesn’t mean “we’re back”. This is a glorified scrimmage.
In 2014 we needed a miracle from Ameer Abdullah to beat a McNeese State team that finished 6-5 and 4-4 in FCS conference play. That Husker team went on to a 9-4 season blowing out some B10 teams along the way and included our last win over Iowa.
Same set up in that we have played a game and our vastly overmatched opponent has not. History has a weird sense of repeating itself.
The game needs to be 56 to O. I can't remember the last time we shut somebody out and they should be able to do it Saturday. I highly doubt they will though.
