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?

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

No on field results to support that yet. History told us talks are simply empty statements

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.

I just can’t let myself get my hopes up too high. I am hopeful for a good season, though

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
