It's game week. How about a game score prediction contest for this season? We need to figure out the rules and get it going.

Good guys win, 31-10.
I'll be interested to see how the former Stanford recruits perform.Â
Miles Shuler seemed headed to Stanford until the Harbaugh rumors got out of control, but then he ended up at Rutgers and subsequently transferred to Northwestern. I wonder if he contacted Shaw when he decided to leave Rutgers.
Garrett Dickerson had an offer from Stanford at one point, but he had a disappointing senior year and I think there wasn't room at the inn. He's now a back up at Northwestern.
Ifeadi Odenigbo was an elite recruit who spurned Stanford and the factories to attend Northwestern. He may have had designs on more playing time, but he has ended up as a back up there. Makes you wonder if he would have done better under Anderson's tutelage.Â

Odenigbo probably would've been a better fit in a 3-4...not that I'm crying too many tears with Kalambayi on board.
Anyway, let's say 34-20.

31 - 20 good guys. Sloppy game but we pull ahead in the second quarter and maintain our lead throughout. Ukropina misses a field goal which would have given us a two touchdown lead.
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.

41-20 Stanford
Too much team speed and swarm on defense - NU may catch the young secondary off guard with a deep ball but otherwise will have to sustain drives to score. Good luck with that.
Hogan & Co have a field day with an undermanned, undersized NU defense. I expect to see Stanford run a lot of single back formations with 2WR/2TE or 1WR/3TE and go inside, outside, and deep out of the same formation. When the defense has no idea what's coming (unlike last season), advantage offense. With nobody to lock onto this year, I'm hopeful that Hogan will be able to find his #2 and #3 targets - that should be expected of a QB who's got more than two years of experience as the starter.
And NU hasn't seen anything like Lightning McC - yeah, that's what I'm calling #5 this year. And it's already a registered trademark so you have to pay me royalties to use it :P

Charlie Beall beats out Ukropina by nailing every FG attempt.
Kevin Hogan picks up where he left off and goes over 75% passing for 3 TDs and at least 50 yds rushing. Our WR corps shows no sign of injury or experience. All RBs see playing time and impress.
Defense eats.
44 - 9, good guys.

I thought about that, but that could also imply dead drives. We might have to punt once. But all other drives yield pts.

74-1
NW gets a rouge on the opening kickoff to take a 0-1 lead, but after that cannot handle our 12 man O and D formations.
