It would be just our luck if UTEP hires Scott Frost. And then he hires Bo Pelini as DC. :lol: Game 1.
It sure would be! Pelini's defenses haven't been relevant since 2010. Once people figured out his match up zone he didn't really have any answers. Frost is just.....Frost. We have much better coaches now IMO. Obviously time will tell if i am correct in that assessment.Would be an easy victory
I will predict 8-4. Just a few more predictions and we will really have something next season.I’ll predict 7-5.
I would say welcome to the board, but I see you joined two weeks before I did! :lol: Welcome back anyway. I think most of us agree Nebraska SHOULD start that well, but after 7 straight losing seasons I will believe it when I see it. This team loves to drop a couple it shouldn't, and we will have a 2 freshman depth chart at QB most likely so a lot of things are possible.In my opinion the Huskers should start the season either 6-1 or 7-0. Plus a later win against UCLA gives you a 7-8 win season if you don't win a tough game. If you win 2 out of 3 vs Wisc, Iowa and USC, you've got a 9-10 win season. I don't think you beat the Buckeyes.
I actually have been to one game in Lincoln, back in 1974 I watched my Ducks get destroyed 61-7. I was born in Nebraska and decided to make a trip to see family and take in the Duck game while back there. Oregon was a basketball and track school in those days, certainly some of the darkest days for Oregon football were the 70s.I would say welcome to the board, but I see you joined two weeks before I did! :lol: Welcome back anyway.

Looking forward to getting out to Eugene for a game soon. I for one am excited for new places to go and have a trip planned to LA this fall already.
As far as weather goes, it will probably be a bit like going to WSU in Nov. Pullman can get very cold and windy in Nov. Use to love seeing the LA schools go up there with a couple feet of snow on the sidelines. Plus, Pullman was one of those places that is just difficult to get to.Seems interesting that there are no late November games they have to travel east for (last 3 weeks of the season). Oregon to Wisconsin will be interesting, as the only late season travel.
I actually lived in Boise for a few years and the wife and I road tripped up the Oregon coast while we were there. Loved it so much we took the kids back last year for a week. I didn't spend much time in Eugene, but did drive through.I actually have been to one game in Lincoln, back in 1974 I watched my Ducks get destroyed 61-7.

I think you guys come to Autzen in 2026. I'd recommend spending a few extra days if you haven't been here before. All depends on what you enjoy, the Oregon coast is very different from Calif and well worth a visit. If you're a golfer, check out Bandon Dunes, if you enjoy a nice Pinot Noir, you'll love a visit to Oregon wine country. And yes, the mountains and rivers are stunning. Also, check out the University of Oregon athletic facilities, Hayward Field is stunning and by far the best track and field facility in the USA. I do believe the new indoor football facility will be finished by 2026 as well.

One of the great things about coming to Autzen in the fall is that some of the best weather on the coast is in the fall. Of course flyfishing the McKenzie in October is great also. It's just a beautiful time of year in Eugene.I actually lived in Boise for a few years and the wife and I road tripped up the Oregon coast while we were there.

Love Oregon. Have spent a lot of time in the Bandon area as well as the Salem area. Such a cool place.One of the great things about coming to Autzen in the fall is that some of the best weather on the coast is in the fall. Of course flyfishing the McKenzie in October is great also.
