Patrick is the first QB in years that throws while moving in the forward motion. He looked good against MN and really surprised us when running and scrambling. He needs a team to win but it can be done... GBR.

He will be fine. It's finally his turn, and he will show what he can do. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he pulled out an impossible win?!

He looked pretty good against MN but the line is so bad. If the line can give him any time I think he will do ok.

He holds onto the ball for way too long. PSU will be eating him alive all game

sadly, langsdorf will continue to place the team in jeopardy and Patrick will not be able to overcome langsdorfs pathetic attempt at being a coach. absent langsdorf and riley, Patrick will do fine.

The offensive line cannot or will not be able to protect him. Without protection Penn State will continue to sack him throughout the game. Otherwise I think that he would do ok, maybe 1 interception.

Poor OL and no running game. PSU can tee off from the beginning of the game going at the QB.

It won't matter who is Q-backing the offense. The O-line will still be the same.

If we cant beat Northern Illinois, Northwestern, or Minnesota, how the hell are we gonna beat an actual good team like Penn State or Iowa?

He's a step or two back from Lee with reading the D and getting rid of the football, so I think he'll take a lot of sacks. It's going to be a real ugly game I'm afraid. Maybe 100 - 0.

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.
