Husker regular season win total: What do you think?

88%

10 or more W's WINNER

12%

9 or less W's

10 or more W's

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!

Will Cortez Mills be a game-changer at wide receiver in 2025?

NU needs a freshman to have a big time impact. Hopefully this is the one.

I've given up any hope of anyone being an impact player until they prove they can actually perform. Too many "BUSTS", including the team, overall.

Roland St.Denis

Having watched him several times now, he needs to develop physically, and even more importantly, must focus on the mental game. He has too many lapses at the high school level. That will be magnified in the B1G

John Hoie

The only recent freshman I thought would be an impact player was Raiola. Barney was a pleasant surprise.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Michael Hoffart

Next season would be the season to do it. Pretty good set up schedule wise and we SHOULD have the talent to make it happen.

James Key

At least 8 Wins if no glaring issues.

A B

1. look at MR history. 2. Look at how MR's aggressiveness at improving coaching and roster. 3. the team has been learning how to win and we are positioned for a break through. 4. Dylan Raiola!!!

Joe Hegarty

Passing game will click.

David Dahlkoetter

Better depth. Offensive line needs to improve and will Defense looks awesome. Qb play will be better. Better widouts.

James McDermott

The schedule favors the huskers. The team seems to finally have the finishing attitude

Mike O

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

I can't do it! I can't say it. Husker fans have been burned too many times. PROVE IT FIRST! GBR!

Isaiah Skrdla

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

Dave Levesque

I've been let down too many times.

Roger Shriver

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.
