Husker regular season win total: What do you think?

88%

10 or more W's WINNER

12%

9 or less W's

88%

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!

Do you see the Huskers beating the point spread against Oklahoma this weekend?

OU is susceptible to the long passing game. NU pulls out some stops on offense. D keeps it close. OU by 3.

James Key

Im breaking out my 30yr old Number 7 jersey. Huskers by 7

Matt Seiler

Spencer is a guy who’s easily rattled (get it?) and figures to throw a few picks if pressured. I still think we lose but Huskers can move the ball through the air and force a few TOs to keep this game within 14. Small chance they even pull out the W

Mark Wane

I watched the Tulane game and I think Buffalo is a good team that the D shutdown. Plus I went to school in the 90’s and want us so badly to step up on National tv. We are due!! Skers

Mick Hanson

I drink all the Kool-aid, why not?

Bob Berg

Sooner's lose one game mid-season. Why not this one. Hopefully no one showed the Sooner team what Frost and company did to them in '96 and '97. We should play well for 3 quarters then their top guys may take over.

I can’t believe Nebraska fans have fallen so far that they discuss if they can’t beat the spread and not if they can beat OU.

Terry Busch

they have talent everywhere. We have a tiny bit of talent. It's a talent landslide.

Sporty361

No way! IL lost big to an unrated Virginia team. Sooners will do whatever they want to do regarding score. Tired of us ‘rebuilding’ when we can’t beat teams that out recruit us every year. Don’t those teams have to rebuild? Simply put we are either terrible recruiters or terrible developers.

Larry Smith

Big REd is playing well below the Sooner's level. I just hope they can keep it at the 21 points and not get buried in a ten td avalanche.

Steve Walker

They are still playing pretty bad. Offensive line is still not blowing anyone off the ball. Defense is still not getting a pass rush. Secondary is not as good as advertised. Hopefully there will be improvement.

USMC Sully

we have been down this road too many times to think otherwise

Wade Williams

We are not there yet. We put too much pressure on an improving defense. If NU could some how score 40 they might have a chance at the end of the game but....I'll call it 48-27 OU.

Matt Seiler

I believe that means they beat the spread

Bryan Petersen

Offensive line had yet to show we can run the ball between the tackles

Lots of teams are doing the exact same thing. Make everyone else accountable before just punishing the Huskers.

Randy Weitzenkamp

It's just a distraction, but it is the last thing we need right now. The timing of this news is extremely suspicious. Focus on taking care of business on the field and this will be ancient history in a month .

Frost is doing everything he can to try to get this program going again. That even means blatantly cheating and trying to cover up his cheating. This isn’t an oopsie, it’s desperation. Same with trying to run away from the OU game. He knows he’s in trouble and he just cost himself his buyout.
