The results on the field... just don’t seem to be improving. Under frost they’ve found creative ways to lose.

Still way to many holes to fill, and so young sorry but if we win 5 i will be surprised.

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.
Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.

He seems more than just a mobile QB, he plays with abandon and spunk. Why wasn't he here right out of high school? But how could we have lost Ekeler? Have we turned into the dumbest program in America?

Of course, it should since we had a statue QB, once Lateef was in the offense changed to suit his skill set, and so it follows that Dana will tweak the offense to suit Colandea's skill set and with a new o-line coach changes come.

Eventually we will learn to pound the ball with the rushing game, the defense will come alive, and we will start having 11-12 wins per season again... we could start in 2020.
ReplyThey could get seven wins (maybe) early, but will likely loose all of their last five games. South Dakota State could be a trap game.
ReplySlowly migrating away from Riley's kids helps boost their chances. Perhaps even 7 wins.
ReplyThey should start the season 6-1 or even 7-0 if they can take Cincin at home - the rest of the scheduloe looks very daunting but Iowa comes here so maybe they can get one more out of those last 5
ReplyI was wavering on this one. We have a difficult schedule, but I'm hoping we turn the corner on execution and consistency. We need to learn how to put together 4 complete quarters not just 1 or 2.
ReplyThe improvement has been in small increments, but improvement nonetheless. Scott is taking hold, the team will improve.
ReplyMaybe a not strong with “got this”, but I do think they can make a bowl game.
ReplyTalent has improved and the coaching staff has to have learned what to expect.
ReplyThe Coaches are understanding the opponent better and will begin to know what game plan to put in for each opponent.
ReplyMinimum expectation next season.
ReplyYes They Will Bank On It
ReplyYes.
ReplyQB question settled early, w reliable backups, more receiver weapons, deeper RBs, improved OL. Defense at least comparable to 2019. Offense turns 1 score losses to W’s. 5&2 thru 7 and get 1 of last 5.
ReplyNo more excuses.
