Hard to tell getting blown out yet again. I'll hope to see the improvement against lesser competition that will hopefully result in wins.

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

Liked what I saw.
ReplyDidn't get man handled like last year. S&C is finally paying dividends. We still need to clean up things in the area of penalties and execution.
ReplyTeam looked bigger. Offensive line seems stronger. A few playmakers on both sides. Not real crazy about playing so soft in defensive backfield but guess they did not want to get beat deep. Hopeful!
ReplyEffort - they played hard till the end, which they haven't always done the last two years.
ReplyWe saw for the first time in years our players showing they can play with anybody. We need some running backs, but then we are good to go.
ReplyProgress was there in terms of tackling, O/D line play, good offense decision making, and overall depth. No progress in turnovers and bad penalties and being our own worst enemy.
ReplyI see hope. Let's add consistency to hope and we should turn some heads this year. We need to stop the mental errors (time mgmt, fumbles, penalties). There is no margin of error. Fix these =Progress
ReplyEven the announcers who normally hate us saw progress. Nebraska won the trenches half of the time, offense got north and south quick, linebacker play was solid finally. This team is much improved
ReplyCould have been 38-31. Should have been 45-31. But was 52-17. For every 10 good snaps there's always one drive killer. Glad that the offense went North to south and limited the sideline play. GBR
ReplyIt's all about the big uglies in the trenches, and they have vastly improved.
ReplyProgress is there but quite honestly the celebrating of moral victories against upper echelon teams is getting a bit tired. 52 -17 is 52-17. Its a thrashing.
