We shouldn't overlook any team, but Indiana should not be a toss-up. We should dominate.

I must admit I'm a bit concerned about this game. IU will score their points and if Nebraska's offense isn't hitting on all cylinders, it could be a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Uncertainties at NU

Red Nation will put it all together against IU !

David Cassiday

IU can score on anyone, and our D has suffered huge losses at DT, has no proven pass rushers, and a back 7 that finished around 125th in pass defense. A win here will require a UCLA style gameplan, executed at a high level.

Jerry Williams

They will be better than one might expect they OSU a fight last year.

Indiana took Ohio State to the 4th quarter last year. they aren't the Kansas Wildcats and we definitely shouldn't overlook them. not in our current state at any rate.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

Because we are THAT good.

David Lenzen

weather is always as issue for Big 10 road games and this staff hasn't shown they can gameplan for bad weather

Steve Walker

You cannot take any team for granted. Especially when you look at how bad our pass rush and backend were last season. We may be much improved or we may not be. IU throws well in an explosive offense. I think N will respect IU and bring their best. I think NU will win, but it is not a given.

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

If the lines are improved and up to the task, I think they lose to Oregon, Indiana and OSU, maybe split Illinois/Iowa and win the other 7.

Wade Williams

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Scott Ferguson

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Kelly Smith

The progress compared to the other BIG 10 teams is minimal.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.
