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!

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Roger Craig & Tom Rathman ring a bell ? Not only a dynamic duo playing for NU, but also for the 49ers !! YES we want multiple RB’s to rotate in & out to keep their legs fresh!! GBR 🎈

SEW

Look at the success in the playoff, the teams have 2-3 capable RB's they use to keep them healthy and offer the D different looks. Johnson was unique, most backs can't take that many snaps a season and stay healthy and sharp.

PJ SAid

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
