It will be cold in Iowa friday. They'll need fire to stay warm. GBR

We go toe to toe with wisconsin every other year, Iowa almost every year, Ohio State for a random 30 minutes, and are in position to beat NW every time. But until these guys start tasting victory and actually get used to it, losing seems to be the narrative. Channeling a little Pelini wouldn't hurt!

Iowa will beat up Big Red at the lone of scrimmage.

No, because as much as I thought Frost was the guy his teams don't improve, they are consistently mediocre to poor and that is coaching. Unless Ten of Iowa's starters go down with Covid there is no reason to expect anything but them being consistently mediocre to poor.

No running game and defensive scheme doesn't work. Can't stop run and play too far off the receivers in the secondary.

Until we prove we can beat the lowest level teams, we surely won't beat a consistent mid-to high level team which Iowa has been. Very Sad State of Affairs.

Iowa is too strong in the trenches, they have a running game, and are a disciplined football team. Unfortunately Nebraska is none of those things.

The head coach and staff has not been able to fire up the team.

We cannot run the ball or throw downfield. Unfortunately, it's not going to happen this year. Hawkeyes 45 Huskers 14. GBR

Scott Frost will get out coached once again. He belongs in the FCS world.

time to win close games . Defense paves way to 8 wins

Mark Wane

They're due right? And since I'm 42, and used to us winning 9 games every year for most of my life why would I change my expectation now? 8-4, win the bowl game, 9-4. Should be the minimum expectation for every Nebraska fan. Always! Then with playoff expansion coming, let's get in the mix!! GBR

Of the 3 things needed to win; player acquisition, development and deployment, acquisition is the best predictor of future success. By far in fact. Our roster is built because of great recruiting, development and roster management. It's really kinda all on the coaches to deploy well. If they do, yes

Better o line makes a running game. 4 large backs doesn't hurt.

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 16:44:27 -0400

Curt Marquis

It's a more complete team across-the-board. Defense should be a top 25 group

David McClymont

Strongest SF team yet. We've been close to beating our west div tormentors for the last 2 years. It happens this year. 3 wins vs Wi-IA-MN-Nw-Mi.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 21:38:05 -0400

Stephen Andersson

Absolutely, between the football and basketball teams should get to 8 wins in 2021.

I'm a fan and I think they can win them all. If you don't think so, be a colorado fan.

I want to believe they can, but until the issues going on over the last several years stop....it's going to be more of the same.

maybe if they play teams like the Ladies of the Lords...

Even with the difficult schedule they have the talent to get 8 wins. Unfortunately, this will also take team execution, discipline and a swagger we have yet to see. I'm hoping for 6 wins and a bowl. Anything more is gravy.

Douglas Norman

Huskers have not shown ability to beat even avg teams and are much more likely to LOSE one of the games they should win. then upset a team that they are underdogs in. This looks like a bubble 6 win team, at best.

Ryan Moss

But at least they’re not in the Big 12 any more, am I right? High five!

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 16:27:42 -0500

Trip Conroy

Not a chance, not with the schedule and no proven on-field play to show otherwise

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:06:53 -0400

cause we cant play consistent football. Call it the Frost effect.

Come on. Stop posting these silly articles. I’m a huge fan but NOTHING points to that much improvement.

Huskers does not have the will to win close games. They are 2 years away from winning the close games.

I have to see a decent downfield passing game first before I start getting too optimistic.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:41:54 -0400

Danny Spielman

Why would we think this team could win 8 games? I always had rose colored glasses on over the last couple of decades. I took them off and, whew, Steve Pederson screwed us. Prove it to me!!!

Sure why not? He looked fantastic during the spring game. Could have been better but...could get there or come close.

He won’t get 49 targets

I'll reserve judgment until we've seen him consistently come down with catches in traffic over the course of a season. A JD in hand is better than 2 Omar's in the bush.

David Weaver

No clue yet - he's got all the measurements but has yet to be healthy until now. I think key will be can he stay healthy and can he play through minor injuries.
