Qb. Oline. Offense could be very good. Back 7 on d should be good Concerns at rb depth and unknowns on interiour d line.

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

I believe Coach Rhule and his staff have the ability to get the team to understand their shortcomings in the last game and will show them how to overcome the obstacles that Michigan presented. GO BIG RED!!! 🎈🎈🎈

Can't get stops when it counts the most. Can't move ball when it counts the most. O line and D line have been and continue to be a problem. I am not hopeful going forward.

Our line play is mediocre. We have skill players but our line play on both sides will be our limiting factor. We need to find toughness for 4 quarters. In this age of celebrating every yard, we lose rock hard toughness.

Our O-Line & D-Line are simply not good enough to get the job done.

Nebraska hasn't shown all we have offensively. Environment will be great for us, tough for Michigan. Plus, I never bet on games, but was thinking about putting down $100. Didn't do it. Then a friend called out of the blue who is visiting Las Vegas, who asked if I wanted to bet. Yes! It's a sign.

I just rewatched 2024 CO Game. MI this year doesn't look as good as CO last year. NE this year has better offense and special teams. Defense? We handled CO and I think we will beat MI

The D line scares me and the lack of pressure on the Opposing QB is a huge concern, havent been able to stop the run against 3 weak teams so far this year and Michigan loves to run the ball, I think this game could get away from us, god I hope I am wrong

Still haven't proven that we are on that level. Inability to stop the run or get pressure on the QB will be our downfall.

We can't control the LOS. We have no DL. We throw too much. Our best players/coaches left. And... it's effing Michigan. We ain't gonna win. Oh, and our HC is a CEO, not a game planner.

N hasnt won anything worth mentioning for near 20 yrs. And, the D-line is poor against the run and in pressuring the qb. N will be lucky to keep it within 10.
