Anything above 10 wins would be a passing grade, albeit a high passing grade. Read Husker Max contributor Derek Johnson's analysis: http://forum.huskermax.com/vbbs/content.php?4... Show More

The Huskers have no excuse for not being able to out-score at least 10 of their opponents, most of whom are average teams at best

Seth Gruhn

May be one of the best offenses in the nation! As long as our Defense shows up, I expect nothing less than 10 wins! GBR

Allen Bishop

Given the schedule, anything below 10 would be a disappointment. Losses like those at OSU and B1G champ game last year would also be seen as failures.

Chris Dahmke

I think we go 11-3

Scott Morris

10 is the minimum

Alex Scheuler

With this schedule 10 wins should be the bare minimum. expecting a rose bowl appearance at worst after losing in the btn, title, hopefully of nat'l champe appearance

Joshua Spencer

A Senior Martinez, KB, Quincy, Jamal, a top of his game Ameer, experienced OL, a young athletic, fast, front 7 on with a Nation leading Secondary on D. I was ready for this season 2 years ago.

Rob Thomason

Schedule.. loaded offense. with cross and abdula... thunder and lightening... Taylor will have some nice long runs.. POP-ooch's D should be faster and play loose vs. tight and robotic

Jake Smith

Its time beat the standards of a 9 win season and win and conference championship.

Mako Evony

Easy schedule and years 6 .... need I say more?

Michael J. Jankowski Sr.

anything less would be a total dissappointment!

Marty John

12 Game Schedule - Huskers should be 7-0 going into Nov. Then they beat Northwestern, Michigan State, and Iowa at home - Should beat PSU on road, Mich is a toss up........

Douglas Beckman

with this offense they should win 10 if not 11

Terry Busch

if this offense cant put consistent 40's then somethings wrong. we will will a lot of 42 to 41 games. Defense will be bad as usual

Ashley Guinan

Easy schedule. Less than 10 is unacceptable for this team.

Mark Marquez

trend upward, not downward...

Justin Daily

Schedule sets up nicely this year and with the talent back on offense along with modest defensive improvements equals no less than 10 wins.

Dean Iversen

With this schedule, it should set up nicely for a 10-win season.

Cory Berg

With this schedule, less then 10 wins would be a disappointment

12%

9 or less W's

This is arguably the lowest "acceptable" win total -- if you believe ANY losses are acceptable.

Too much optimism this year with such a young defense. The team has heart, but luck was on their side last year. Too many close wins that easily could have gone the other way. GBR!

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

we need an offence

I refuse to get my hopes up

Craig S

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go

I doubt that this late in the season this change will help. I hope it does but i have no faith left. The O-line is just horrible.

Sporty361

Good thing we played buffs early. They have improved throughout the season and have been rated most of year. They are moving forward while we are retreating.

Randy Weitzenkamp

My heart says yes, but my head says no. Are they capable? Absolutely, but we haven't seen enough consistency in any of the 3 phases of the game to warrant any confidence that we can win one of the last three games.

Robert Lloyd

Why don't we recruit the Army's offensive coordinator who really know how to develop a running game? And he only makes $190,000 per year.

Joe Hegarty

Won't be favored in any remaining games.

John Lienemann

They have to fight for it. I will be honest and say it depends on which NU team shows up and that’s why I think it’s going to be tough. They could either win the last 3 games but they could also lose the last 3 games.

Lyle Martin

Looking like they won't win again this year

Bill Scheef

Nope...hate to say it but we need a dual threat at QB. It was worth the try, but DR is better off served playing for a program that best suits his drop back talent and at this point in time it's not here. We will drop all three and maybe giving Lincoln Riley two weeks to plan...it's not good !

The ANTI Trump

offense is more confusion and chaos instead of concern and control

Roger Moellendorf

Sadly, no, I don't think it will happen. There are just too many problems with every aspect of their game. Especially offense and special teams.

Bill Petty

I am not hopeful that this team will win another game this year. Just about every phase of the game is sub par. We have clearly regressed as the season has unfolded. Don't forget how much Jeff Simms was hyped last year; how did that turn out. I don't have confidence in the coaching staff.
