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

It is possible, they have to win turnover margin in every game. That is easier said than done.

Every B1G West team has their issues. No West team has clearly better talent than NU. It is time for SF & Co. to deliver. I think they will.

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 15:44:27 -0500

Curt Marquis

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

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.

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.

If Charmin gets into the NIL biz, they need to sign Martinez because that's how soft he is.

1. Who runs and catches? 2. AM may get hurt. 3. No ability to win 50:50 games or even ones where favored. 4. Field position and turnovers. 5. Most worrisome is moronic position from HCSF regarding vaccination. How do we get through season without loss of key players or need to forfeit?

A 7 win season would mean the best Husker team since the T Magic era, or maybe further back than that. This schedule is loaded and the B1G isn’t a cakewalk either. Only sure win is Fordham. I’ll be happy as long as they get a bowl game this year

Husker offense has a long ways to go before being competitive.

Sat, 10 Jul 2021 08:30:21 -0500

Thomas Foster

Huskers won’t get to 8 wins with solving the turnover problem and there’s no reason to assume they will.

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 14:03:29 -0500

Jon Petersen

They have a tremendously difficult schedule and they tend to lose games that they should win.

Tue, 06 Jul 2021 07:05:04 -0500

Kent Snowdon

two teams coming off a bye is not good for big red

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 13:31:00 -0500

Michael Chebatoris

Until they prove they will not shoot themselves in the foot with stupid penalties and turnovers expectations should be low.

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 21:04:22 -0500

Gale Cogswell

Only if they pay Our Lady of Lords every game.

Sun, 04 Jul 2021 20:49:15 -0500

Maybe if you get a new quarterback

Tough year for it. I'll believe it when I see it with this coaching staff.

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 10:55:46 -0500

Rod Combs

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.

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 11:26:22 -0500

Gale Cogswell

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

Sun, 13 Jun 2021 11:57:09 -0500

Randy Weitzenkamp

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.

Sat, 12 Jun 2021 20:33:08 -0500

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.

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 07:39:37 -0500

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 11:06:53 -0500

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.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:33:07 -0500

John Fillmore

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

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:41:54 -0500

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!!!

Do you think the Big 10 should make any conference alignment changes in response to the SEC moves?

Make Barry Alvarez the Big 10 commissioner and surround him with good advisors and go from there. We can't lose with that. Don't strike out and add things without a top team in place to make the decisions.

The Big 10 conference officials would be fools to assume the SEC has not already at least contacted Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan regarding joining. The only way to remain a viable conference long-term is to form a super conference to match the SEC's intentions. Strike from a position of power

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 20:01:45 -0500

Nick Tempo

It will be a cold day in hell before OSU and Michigan or any of the other original 10 depart for the SEC. I don't know what the loyalties are of the newer members, but I'm going to guess that they are also happy where they are as long as the money continues to flow.

I say go to 20 teams by adding WA*, OR*, USC*, TCU, ASU, and either Okie St or CO*. Go two 10 team divisions playing round robin and two cross-over (11 total conference games) and 1 non-con. Just don't leave ourselves out of the south market! I don't acre about the AAU*.

Texas and Oklahoma maybe big name brands, but I don't think Texas is as big of a deal as they seem to think they are. Seriously, what has Texas ever done? They are an underachiever and they will continue to underachieve in the SEC. As for Oklahoma? I see them as being another LSU.

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 09:58:05 -0400

Ron Joseph

Yes, we have to go big - Go after the top 6 Pac 12 schools I can live wt Kansas if the Big 10 can convinced Norte Dame to join. If not, go after the Pac 12. Then let the orphan 8 & rest of Pac 12 form a conference

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 09:52:13 -0400

Mike Di Mauro

Merge the PAC, grab IA ST, Kan, Kan ST TX T from the Big 12, raid the ACC of Clemson and Notre Dame. You then have 32 teams. Use the NFL model You can beat the SEC and then have in one division a Penn St vs Clemson, a Notre Dame vs Ohio St, Oregon vs Michigan.

Thu, 05 Aug 2021 06:14:21 -0400

Travis Kreifels

I like the idea of adding the 9 AAU schools: Arizona, UCLA, USC, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Washington, Utah and Colorado. I'd then add 1 more team (ND??). 6 4 team pods. play your pod and two other pods for 11 games plus one non conference. should play all teams twice in 5 years.

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.

Tue, 04 May 2021 19:43:32 -0500

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.
