FAU vs Nebraska- Predicitions!

FAU vs Nebraska- Predicitions!

Phil Steele says:

45-17 NU wins…….

"Last year prior to the opener FAU coach Schnellenberger called out Texas and he paid the price in a 52-10 loss. For the most part Howie gives all his players a lot of time in games like this to better prepare his team for the upcoming conference schedule. The Huskers have some question marks at RB heading into the year and have a first time starter at QB. FAU has just 3 starters back on defense and in their last 12 games on the road vs BCS conference schools the Owls have lost by an AVERAGE of 46-8."

An article in the PBP says the avg size of the starting FAU O-L is 310 lbs while Nebraska's avg is 303. They of course have the depth but for once our starting O-L is bigger than the BCS opponent.

Spitale is huge. I'm looking forward to see what he can do. Wishnefski has been good so far. I think he'll do well to replace Paris as center going forward. Both these guys are well over 300 lbs.

I am tired of listening to what the results were in the past and how they give us no chance this year because of them.
Average amount lost by?  Who cares?  This is a different football team than any of those….a better football team.

Look at some of these games from Nebraskas past two seasons below.  Some real gems…Kansas put up over 70 points!  Let me repeat….Kansas put up over 70 points!  They got housed in these games by about the same average we did…and those teams aren't Texas of 2008 (who should have been in the BCS title game btw).

Point being, you think NU fans think they cant beat Kansas or Mizzou this year because what has happened in the PAST?  No they dont think that….they dont think that because Kansas put up 70+ and Mizzou beat them by 5 TD's in front of the "Sea of Red" that the same results will occur this season.  In my opinion this FAU team has given us EVERY reason to believe in them.  2007 showed they can compete, 2008 showed resilence (sp?), lets just see what 2009 brings before painting them with a 40 point loss.

2008
at No. 4 Oklahoma  L 62-28
No. 4 Missouri  L 52-17

2007
at Missouri  L 41-6
at Kansas  L 76-39
Oklahoma State  L 45-14

He is refering to the line from the movie "Animal House". Which by the way opened while I was attending FAU.

Animal House Boone,

One of the most classic misquotes ever.

Followed by the great response….


"The Germans bombed pearl harbour?"

"Forget it, hes on a roll"

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.
