IU/Nebraska Prediction Thread

Final WOTC (Wisdom of the Crowd = average of all predictions) is IU 31, Nebraska 26 . . . including Bayern's standard 41-14 (opponents win) prediction. Last week the WOTC had IU's score exactly right at 24, but had Cincy's far too low at 32, compared to an actual 45.

Is IU going to give up 13 more points to Nebraska, too, making the score 39-31? Or even a touchdown more to make the score 33-31?

Is IU's defense in Lincoln going to be better than the predicted score of 26? Maybe 21?

Tossing Bayern's and RZ's predictions as a bit fanciful, the result is IU 30, Nebraska 27. Hmmmmm . . . .

We'll just have to see, I guess . . . .

This feels like a win where IU pulls ahead with about 2 minutes left and then NU misses a chipshot FG to end the game. NU is very bad - but is it talent or Scott Frost coaching? IU never plays beyond the talent of its competition but Allen needs this to keep any momentum going.

IU 33 NU 31

IU runs for 65 yards. Passes 65 times for 275 yards. Defense gives up a few big plays but NU beats itself a couple times too.

As the early weeks roll by, UNLs losses look all the worse for wear.

Northwestern lost 3 and OU lost 2 since beating Nebraska.

NUs lines stuffed the run and ran over UNL‘s defense in Dublin.

Illini are undefeated since their loss to IU, including at Camp Randall today.

Football games are more often lost than won, and UNL‘s recent history is mistake prone.

Husker QB transfer Martinez perhaps showed it was more coaching than talent, beating OU last week.

IUs three wins were largely mistake free.

IU 27 - UNL 20
