I'm hearing the same spring game plan offensively and expect to see the same fall execution. That paired with a more difficult schedule leaves me with little hope for improvement. We need some coaches that realize that college ball is very different from pro ball and who adjust accordingly.

Looking at the schedule, I see 5 losses in the regular season. I predicted 5 wins last season. Time will tell.
Too many tough road games...OSU, Iowa, Wisconsin, Northwestern. We'll probably lose to Oregon then either split those 4 tough road games and find a way to blow another home game or lose 3 of the 4 road games. I feel like 8-4 is our cap unless we have some magical Iowa-like run and no injuries.

We'll see 8 wins tops if Riley decides to pass the ball 40 times a game, but a more balanced offense with limited pass attempts from Armstrong could result in 10 wins or so.

This is a coach who never won more than 7 games. A sever game win season will be his super bowl!

Yes they will, because the right system is in place, the right attitude has been instilled, the right coaching is in place, and the talent is there.
ReplyI know they will! I am retiring from the Air Force and my gift from my wife is our attendance to every game, home and away! #GBR #Huskers #2016isouryear
ReplyWhy not!
ReplyThey flirted with disaster last year and see determined to recapture the magic of the mid 90s
ReplyThey should have last year!!! Coaching failed them.
ReplyGut feeling...
ReplyWhy? Riley & co will coach like their rear ends are on fire this season. If they have another season like last season, they'll all be looking for other jobs.
ReplySecond year of familiarity with a system, like the defensive coaches.
ReplyI believe!
Replytoo many narrow defeats and a period of change. If Tommy flips the "decision-making" switch, the Skers could be dangerous. DL will retool and secondary/LS's will be improved by experience and depth
Reply11 0r 12 wins isn't out of reach. It depends, if Nebraska throw the ball 15-25 a game (10-13 wins) or, if they go for the 45+ throws (6-8 wins). It's not rocket science!!!
ReplyWith all the spring hype as usual, eight wins are only the tip of the iceberg. Of course, the reality in fall may be different! It's fun to be on the band wagon, but I hate falling off every fall.
ReplyTeam chemistry is up, determination by the coaching staff to run the rock more, especially on first down, and the talented men they are about to roll out
ReplyBecause Spring Optimism
ReplyAt worst they win 8, more than likely end up 9-3 or 10-2 if we are lucky.
ReplyMike Riley has seen the results of Nebraska's tradition and comfort level while running the ball. And if he takes to heart that you have to run on first down to be a running team, we will be fine. I think he gets it.
ReplyI see a 10 win season on the horizon. We have talent galore and MR is the man to bring us to a 10 win regular season.
ReplyI'm pickin up good vibrations.
ReplyAbsolutely! I expect more than 8 wins.
