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!

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
