NW is still a year away from having a defense and our offense comes out and blows a load all over the place. late garbage time TD by NW

Northwestern wins 17-14. An overconfident Thompson forces two passes into too tight windows, one leading to a short field and one pick 6. NW manages a field goal also. NU has confusion on offense, run game never really takes off and manages to score in second and 4th quarters by Thompson running more than hoped. Time expires after NU misses a 56 yard game tying FG.

The Skers can't kickoff and let NW have some lameass 8 minute drive that ends in a TD and then the Skers go 3 and our...5 minutes left in the first quarter and NW has the ball at midfield with a 7-0 lead.

If NU takes a 10+ point lead, this game will look similar to last year. NW can't pass.

Huskers: 38
Northwestern: 17

Prediction: closer than we'd like BUT while protecting a single-digit lead in the 4th quarter Thompson DOESN'T throw a pick and DOESN'T fumble and we win 21-13. I will come to on the living room floor with tears rolling down my face as my wife is shaking and slapping me and telling me I was having a seizure while mumbling, "Martinez is really gone???"

Lightning delay and both teams go home.

Seriously I don't think it'll be a low or high scoring game.

I am feeling good about defense...
Neb will work out some wrinkles in the first half and start slow
NW will not have answer for the defense

probably worth nothing the line is Huskers -13

should easily top 2 TDs by kickoff, so get 'em in early, NU backers!

NU 28 NW 24. NU runs out to a 28-10 lead before giving up 2 late TD's and the blackshirts get a stop late.

all these "fans" predicting that we lose should go cheer for north western
Jeezus. I predicted an NU win but if you've been watching for the last fours years and you still feel it's required that a fan predict a victory then you haven't been paying attention. Fandom and reality clash at a certain point.

Kool Aid meets reality,

NEB 27
NW 24

Lots of growing pains for us in an uncomfortable win that comes down to our defense bailing us out in the end.
