Posted by: Steve Sipple on September 11, 2009 11:13AM CST Bring it charger, give us a prediction.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 11:14AM CST wow sip you know they will hang the defense if we give up any points :) i think ASU may be a handful for a while. NU 51 ASU 17

Posted by: JasonMason on September 11, 2009 11:20AM CST 45-13 'Skers Helu goes for 150 again? yes sir!

Posted by: cajunhusker on September 11, 2009 11:22AM CST 42-17 huskers

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 11, 2009 11:27AM CST Charger, I agree 100%. NU 51 - ASU 17. ASU gets a late TD w/ the Walk on's and scout team in. ASU rushes for about 70 yds (D is mad that they were called soft). Five sacks on Leonard, two by SUH, the second breaks Leonard completely in half. NU 600 total yds, ASU 190

Posted by: leftcoastfaNatic on September 11, 2009 11:30AM CST NU-55 ASU-13 PACT!!!!! GO BIG RED!!!!!!

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 11, 2009 11:33AM CST Bo is completely unsatisfied w/ teams performance leading up to VaTech game, this only will work to make the D even more mad. I have changed my mind, I said earlier that the game will be closer than the score, I think that will be the opposite of what happens, the score will be closer than the game actually is. This w/ only about 40% of the game plan in operation.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 11:34AM CST HuskerfromAR Don't know about breaking Leonard in half but i bet he's going to sore. I think the D will be much improved due to the fact Bo pointed out "the butterflys should be gone"

Posted by: RetiredArmyGuy on September 11, 2009 11:34AM CST 56-13 Huskers

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 11:35AM CST 51-11 Huskers. Lead pipe lock. PACT

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 11:39AM CST Defense will not be soft this game, they will be on a mission? GBR! 49 ASU 7 in a cakewalk. VT looms big ahead and NU will not show alot nor need too? Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 11:42AM CST Bo said the D played soft, not the D was soft key work played

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 11:54AM CST Charger inference is the meaning I know what he meant? Sparse words is for a nonplayer, semantics is for knuckleheads? Soft in a game is soft how you play is what you are? Now I think first game and he had to find fault in areas of course for progression? GBR! I didn't say they were soft I said this game they won't be? You don't understand my meaning either I suppose?

Posted by: Displaced_Husker on September 11, 2009 11:56AM CST NU offense will stay rather "vanilla" this week with a punishing running game. NU 42 ASU 17.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:00PM CST I understand perfectly. Too many big words for me.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:01PM CST "vanilla" I agree 100 percent this game win in the trenches and dominate with better athletes and execution, the bag of tricks are earmarked for VT game, when it could determine the outcome in a close contest? GBR!

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 12:04PM CST GT gave Clemson a lesson in how to do the trickeration last night.

Posted by: wxhusker on September 11, 2009 12:05PM CST Arkansas State's offense is that much better than FAU's if at all. Plus I think our defense will rise up to Pelini's challenge. Their defense is fairly legit though. NU-31 ASU-10

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:06PM CST Good Charger not attacking I in fact think the Huskers were terrific in their first game not because of the opponent entirely as it wasn't stellar but in execution for a first game? But a coach even Misery's coach will find fault in the first game nomatter how good you look for improvement to the opponents where you need to play at high levels to win? I don't think Huskers are soft but you do judge any team by its game performance? Coach Bo felt he needed to tweak and motivate the defense somewhat, end result will be a more dominate game on that side of the ball this week? GBR!

Posted by: Guido on September 11, 2009 12:10PM CST Let's see ... there is a 23.5 point spread and an over/under of 56.5. So, I'll go with the experts. NU 45, ASU 21.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:14PM CST Wrestler I know ya wasn't attacking. Sometimes you know how a coaches comments to the media can become out of context. :) I also agree that the team play well for the first game. You know the kids read the paper. The one thing you can allways count on is that we get the truth for BO. GBR!!!!! Pact

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:16PM CST Going back to what I said in the 3rd post. How much hell do you think the fans will give if we give up 21 points to a sunbelt team? These guys may give us a go.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:16PM CST Guido I would bet the over because of NU's capabilities to put points up and usually when spread gets big towards end your backups are playing and coaches aren't so critical of final score with big spread. So my prediction of 7 maybe too low I think for ASU I see it hitting around 60 simply because NU will be around 50 I suppose! GBR!

Posted by: KChusker on September 11, 2009 12:16PM CST In an earlier blog I said 51-10 or something like that. I think after studying ASU more I will alter that to 48-13. We have to settle for a field goal at some point and give up an extra field goal. I think the players are too motivated not to improve on last week. Tempo will be better despite the better opposing D and the D will be better despite the better opposing O. The only thing that scares me is their balance, they are not a one trick pony. GBR!!

Posted by: KChusker on September 11, 2009 12:19PM CST Hopefully we see some more Green and maybe dive into those lower end backs and recievers. They need some playing time again... even if it is the fourth quarter and the game is in control. Let the backups put up some points so they know what its like.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 12:21PM CST 21 points. NO way. 7. Maybe 10. what do we know about their kicking game anyway. If the wind is blowing there like it is here today feild goals would be tough.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:24PM CST Rain

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:24PM CST Backups and playing time is so critical for a D1 season of college football and attrition, just ask OU? So backups and experience is vital to a somewhat smooth transition of injury in the game of football? I think these games are key for that obtainment going into the Big 12 juggernaut? GBR!

Posted by: Ice Station Omaha on September 11, 2009 12:24PM CST 38-17

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:26PM CST PT is the wind hampering your fishing? Or are you inside watching paint dry, no sorry golf on TV, same thing? GBR!

Posted by: MileHiHusker on September 11, 2009 12:26PM CST 55 - 16 Lots of passing yards early then the running will commence!

Posted by: dbhuskers on September 11, 2009 12:27PM CST 56-17 Huskers

Posted by: Hypno Potomus on September 11, 2009 12:29PM CST NU-59 (1st team accounts for 6 TDs, the back-ups get 2. Plus a little work for Henery) ASU-10 (late TD for ASU)

Posted by: boom.roasted on September 11, 2009 12:29PM CST 45-10 skers

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:30PM CST dbhuskers now with your prediction and it looks good, I would bet the over. GBR!

Posted by: ChrisLi1 on September 11, 2009 12:32PM CST Ok ... Lets try this again. 48-17 Huskers

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 12:32PM CST Wrestler. tucked safely in my office waiting to drive to Lincoln. follow my wife around some malls. (no purse carrying though). Up early for my walk and then game day preperation. Can't wait. Charger what is the forecast for tommorrow?

Posted by: Guido on September 11, 2009 12:32PM CST If we take off the rose-colored glasses and remember that Arkansas State is probably the favorite in the Sun-Belt, we can make more realistic predictions. ASU's 1st string is probably fairly matched with our 2nd and 3rd string. The second half of the game will feature alot of NU backups gaining valuable playing time and experience. The only problem is that most of the time, they end up learning from their mistakes. Arkansas State will score a couple of times in the second half. I don't have a problem with that.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:32PM CST Hippo 1:30 am in HK Fri. night, GF fast asleep. Hope we see you again on the blog for the game? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GF likes your name!

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:32PM CST This is going to be the perfect tune up game for VT.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:37PM CST PT what new additions this year do you like can you pt. anything out to Memorial? Does the atmosphere have a different tone to it than in BC days? I know sellouts always there but can you get a feel that crowd knows the glory days are ahead again? Or is there some reserved attitudes of wait and see? Just curious since can't be live with you? GBR!

Posted by: Hypno Potomus on September 11, 2009 12:38PM CST Wrestler- I'll be there. And leave golf alone. (long time hacker, Ha) Will you be living on coffee and energy drinks to stay awake for the game?

Posted by: Stillahuskerfan on September 11, 2009 12:38PM CST I agree with most of you on this one. The D steps it up and the offense rolls like last week. NU 49 to 7. GBR

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:40PM CST Charger, a win at VT and look out the sky is the limit for the Huskers this year. That win would be big and the signature win for the season I suspect in motivation to who knows what? GBR!

Posted by: broganreynik on September 11, 2009 12:41PM CST Dang it JasonMason, that's my prediction too. 45-13.

Posted by: Stillahuskerfan on September 11, 2009 12:42PM CST After watching VT play Alabama, we have a legit chance to come out with a signature win. We contain the QB, we will win.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 12:43PM CST Wrestler, this will be my first game this year. anxious to see some of the new technology. but i watch the game not the ribbons etc. Last year was much better than the near past. Louder and more excited. Nothing about wait and see. Just happy to be seeing football again. I look for more of the same this year. However expectations are higher this year so we will see how that plays out.

Posted by: TommyOC on September 11, 2009 12:43PM CST Nebraska 38 - Ark St. 14 I think we'll have a close game going at the half, 17 - 7. Then we pull away again from them in the second half. They score once more late, on our second and third team D.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:46PM CST I drink one beer a week for the game with GF as I really watch my intake for maintenance of body work. Oh, pijiu, is beer in chinese. Sounds like pea joe. So a little coffee black and mainly green tea. I am a green tea fanatic as it really moves stuff through your system and is great for abs and such. I know people love golf I just heard that described a long time ago to me and loved it. That watching golf on TV is like watching paint dry? I tried to play golf and in Springs when coaching at OTC got a chance to play at Eisenhower golf course at AFA, I once on driving tee hit the ball and lost grip of my driver and club flew farther than the ball, so joking I said I will play the club. GBR!

Posted by: Click_on_Husker on September 11, 2009 12:47PM CST 38-14 The guys in scarlet and cream

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 12:48PM CST I'm sitting here at work about ready to jump out of my skin. I can't wait untli tomorrow. Wrestler i know that you asked PT what Memorial was like its awsome. imho. But ya still have some of the debbie downers in the front row yelling their same old crap. They players are really into the game, (not like a few years ago) it's loud sometimes could be better, but wait till TT arrives. I had better stop :>)

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 12:51PM CST Wrestler Does GF work out also? I wopuld assume as a model she has to stay in fairly good shape. (or should I say condition, her shape is just fine thank you).

Posted by: redcornman on September 11, 2009 12:55PM CST Red Corn Boys win 45-14

Posted by: Hypno Potomus on September 11, 2009 12:55PM CST Winter rules. Ball or club, which ever has the best lie. For me, hot green tea gets me focused for the gym or work.

Posted by: KyleNov on September 11, 2009 12:55PM CST 42-7 Huskers

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:55PM CST Good Charger, Memorial with 300 consecutive sellouts is unique. Greatest stadium for college football against any other progam and this is coming from a Sooner. NU football is special that's for sure. So you should be proud and to be there, you know how many would love to be in your place, the 2 of us for example in HK? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 12:57PM CST Hippo you got it! I have been a gym rat all my life! GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 12:58PM CST Wrestler, When you get back for a game, GF has a guarenteed seat. You can buy your own ticket. (Grinning) Serously getting a seat will not be a problem.

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 11, 2009 1:01PM CST I've got to change my prediction due to Watson's "Familiarity" That means bad things for an opposing defense. I still think all things will be the same, except for 59-10. ASU still scores late while NU is up 59-3 late in the 4th. Our O line and receivers are just too talented, fast, smart, and "tenacious" for ASU to handle. Our D is just too mean, smart, and fast. Charger, I still say Leonard gets broke completely in half, though. I'll probably here it here in NE Ar

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 1:04PM CST PT you sly pup, GF in the stadium and me on the outside? Thanks PT you're a winner and I really feel said it more in detail on forum side that the way this is happening I can see a VT and Misery win and a OU win in Linclon for the Huskers? I see OU as a less tiered team now with losses of players and O line subpar. UT and Pokes will battle it out in South. I see NU and KU and Misery in a 3 way battle for North and Huskers my friend will come out on top esp. if they gain the confidence of a VT win? GBR! Zhou Da Hong!

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 11, 2009 1:04PM CST That is hear it here in NE AR

Posted by: Hypno Potomus on September 11, 2009 1:05PM CST Big Red Glory- I predicted 59-10 before the guru. Great minds think alike! almost

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 1:06PM CST HuskerfromAR i assume ya live in Arizona. i lived in Lakeside for a while. what a great place. i bet it has grown since i've been there. 1981

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 1:07PM CST I think that's Arkansas, not Arizona, but I could be wrong.

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 1:10PM CST Exiled you lay in the bushes and popup enjoy your topics on the forum side also. Very wise in your knowledge of Husker and college football. I know your a Vermont guy but skip ahead how do you see the VT game playing out? Any quick thoughts? GBR!

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 1:13PM CST Exiled, It dawned on me as soon as i hit post. Please foregive me i'm from Nebraska :)

Posted by: Stone on September 11, 2009 1:15PM CST Bo's Pitbulls - 48 Red Poodles - 10 Suh - 6 TFL Some how they will score a freak touchdown, either a trick play or blown assignment.

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 1:16PM CST On VaTech--I think you just have to look at last year's game as the baseline. We seem to have a better offensive identity now--more shotgun, fewer heavy sets. But, the way Alabama took it to them was running right at them, which is a good sign for us. Defensively, we should be in better shape--they still have no semblance of a passing attack (barring the coverage breakdowns we had last year, which I think are a thing of the past). Their new young RB likes to dance around instead of lowering his shoulder, which is good for us, too. I don't think the BeamerBall special teams will get too much of an advantage over ours, so I'll go Huskers 31-27. (analysis subject to change pending this week's games) PACT

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 1:16PM CST Exiled, How is the ticket search going. Might be easier since they lost to Ala.

Posted by: Papillion_Husker on September 11, 2009 1:17PM CST NU 34-17 Wrestler--appreciate the avatars, thanks.

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 1:20PM CST PT, no easier finding tickets. Too many other rabid Husker fans smelling blood in the water (to mix a few metaphors).

Posted by: Bucksker on September 11, 2009 1:22PM CST ASU has a history of waltzing into big-time college football venues and playing tough. They beat aTm last year at College Station and scared the burnt orange off Texas in Austin two years ago. ASU has an outstanding tailback and a mobile QB. That will enable them to play ball control offense and eat time off the clock. It should result in a tighter game than many are predicting. NU 31 ASU 21

Posted by: PlyNeb on September 11, 2009 1:23PM CST NU lost to VPI by 5 last year, and Bama beat VPI by 10 this year, ergo Bama is 15 better than NU. Bama beat Arkansas State by 35 lat year in Tuscaloosa. Huskers 34-ASU 14

Posted by: Wrestler on September 11, 2009 1:24PM CST VT I like what you have to say and how you break it down? Yes this VT game and Misery games are both doable wins but won't be easy and if we get them Coach Bo could have a monster heading down the highway for the rest of the season? VT game will be our barometer game win, lose or draw? Papillion glad you like the avatar? GF a heck of alot cuter than me that's for sure? What King Kong, on yours? GBR! Zhou Da Hong! GF is screaming for me to get off it is 2:30 am Saturday morning here in HK, got to go!

Posted by: Papillion_Husker on September 11, 2009 1:32PM CST Wrestler--that's your GF? Holy crap! You are one lucky wrestler. I don't have a GF like yours...the wife might get PO'd. My avatar is Mosuba, the largest gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. I'll be at the game tomorrow with a couple sons and a nephew. Good times! And GBR!

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 1:33PM CST FWIW, I now like our chances in Blacksburg better than our chances in Columbia.

Posted by: PT Husker on September 11, 2009 1:39PM CST Much as i hate to I might agree. However Mizzu has a cupcake schedule for mow until us so it may be tough to tell.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 11, 2009 1:44PM CST Huskers will win, oh I would say 42-17. All TD's and not field goals for us. Arkansas State is a better team than FA I think.

Posted by: HuskerfromAR on September 11, 2009 1:45PM CST Charger, Exiled is right, I live in Arkansas. Arizona is AZ, I was in Yuma and have driven thru the state on many occassions, especially when I was stationed in Miramar. I love Northern Arizona around I 40. I'm not too fond of Yuma area though

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 1:49PM CST Well it's hell getting old.

Posted by: charger on September 11, 2009 1:55PM CST HuskerfromAR I realized it only when it was too late. I have only driven through Arkansas on HWY 71 on my way to Gulfport MISS.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 11, 2009 1:58PM CST Being old has it's advantages. I can say anything I want, and people will say, "let it go, he's old. " To you techies on this blog. Would it be worth my while to download Firefox and uninstall Windows?

Posted by: Low Country Husker on September 11, 2009 2:07PM CST Because I'm bored I took all of your predictions fed them into a spread sheet and came up with the average. Based on everyones predictions the Huskers win by a score of 42 to 12. I will say 56-6...... GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Posted by: Husker_born27 on September 11, 2009 2:07PM CST Just like last week. Big Red 49 red puppies 3

Posted by: Albino on September 11, 2009 2:09PM CST NU-52 ASU-10 GBR!

Posted by: Exiled_in_VT on September 11, 2009 2:21PM CST I/H Download Firefox. Don't uninstall anything (I think you mean Internet Explorer, not Windows). I recommend these extensions as well: Adblock Plus (no pop-ups, no flashing ads, no annoyances) PDF Download (helps with viewing PDFs, which is one of Firefox's few weaknesses) Classic Compact Theme (just for aesthetic reasons)

Posted by: Father of future Husker on September 11, 2009 2:24PM CST Let it be known that I predicted 49-6 last week. So obviously what I'm going to say is going to be very reliable. I didn't post my prediction last week, however I did keep it in a mayonnaise jar outside Funk & Wagnalls' porch. Zac Robinson ..errr..Zac Lee and company 52 Redwolves 10 Blackshirts will fill up on Tackling Fuel and go Captain Insano on Leonard and Arnold.

Posted by: Islander/Husker on September 11, 2009 2:26PM CST Thanks, Exiled. Yeah I meant IE. I think it might be good idea if I add more memory before installing.

Posted by: TomOs on September 11, 2009 2:30PM CST Big Red is looking ahead to VT next week, forget game plans and pants.. 27-13

Posted by: BleedingRed on September 11, 2009 2:36PM CST My prediction has everything to do with what I believe this team is capable of. We should overwhelm their o-line and d-line. I do not believe, if we give a full effort, that ASU will be able to move the ball at all. They will eventually force throws and our back 7 will pick off at least 3 tomorrow. I also expect at least 1 fumble recovery. 63-7...and I believe they will score on their first or second series and then they will be done for the day. Shut them out on the first two series and we will have a shutout. The offense ROLLS thanks to great field position by the defense.

Posted by: 1dMark Husker on September 11, 2009 2:36PM CST NU 35 Red Wolves 13

Posted by: wildlovehog on September 11, 2009 3:04PM CST 84-3. Everyone scored a touchdown!

Posted by: SoDakHusker on September 11, 2009 3:13PM CST Defense plays a little sharper as the front four grab their first sack lunches of the year. Offense stays productive, but mostly vanilla. ASU tacks on a late TD when the reserves are in. Huskers 41 Wolves 14

Posted by: colter on September 11, 2009 4:47PM CST NU 50 ARST 7

Posted by: Tadow on September 11, 2009 5:05PM CST 52-10

Posted by: no nothing on September 11, 2009 5:07PM CST It is 42-10 Huskers on the blowout side and 21 to 17 Huskers on the close game. GBR

Posted by: The StepnRaZor on September 11, 2009 5:23PM CST I don't make predictions since I'm superstitious. But if I did it would be 55-15.

Posted by: "huskersRback" on September 11, 2009 5:50PM CST Helu goes for 145 Burkhead for 85 Huskers 60 ASU 10

Posted by: lincolniter on September 11, 2009 6:01PM CST Half a hundred to ZERO! Big Red Rolls!

Posted by: Blackshirtsdef on September 11, 2009 7:22PM CST NU-63 ASU-20 Sir Roy....200 yrds total Suh.....wait for it...2 Sacks Holt....2 tds and cracks a hundred while I crack some beers! GBR!!.....I'll be listening on the "Radio-oeo-oeo"

Posted by: IBleedRed on September 11, 2009 11:16PM CST We should ought to win by at least 45. I say Huskers 55-10. The important thing is to keep the intensaty going. Bo said they got soft last week. We gotta get after em and stay after em.

Posted by: Bornhusker on September 12, 2009 2:15AM CST ASU's offense looked great last week but they're playing a defense that looked mighty good, too. Bo said he saw a lot of flaws in the defense and he knows better than me. I'm sure ASU's coaches saw a lot of flaws in their own offense and defense, too. So, coming off a 21-7 Toledo-CU prediction, here goes: Huskers - 45 ASU - 18 Could be worse, but we'll be holding back a lot of stuff for VT.

Posted by: earniechambers on September 12, 2009 8:37AM CST Corn 78 ASU 77 HUSKERS RETURN A BLOCKED PAT WITH 1 SECOND LEFT FOR THE VICTORY
