Of course!

As long as they don't sign with an agent then yes absolutely. Agents are where players get in trouble. If the NFL and NCAA want to clean things up then they would punish agents when they do wrong.

Without a minor league system and with most players not physically ready for the NFL, the current system reduced to two accrued seasons would be ideal.

Because an education in inherent in the word "college" so a degree would be a priority

This isn't the NBA. Consider the length of time it takes to develop into collegiate form. The NFL would destroy them.

time to win close games . Defense paves way to 8 wins

It is possible, they have to win turnover margin in every game. That is easier said than done.

Every B1G West team has their issues. No West team has clearly better talent than NU. It is time for SF & Co. to deliver. I think they will.

Mark Wane

They're due right? And since I'm 42, and used to us winning 9 games every year for most of my life why would I change my expectation now? 8-4, win the bowl game, 9-4. Should be the minimum expectation for every Nebraska fan. Always! Then with playoff expansion coming, let's get in the mix!! GBR

Of the 3 things needed to win; player acquisition, development and deployment, acquisition is the best predictor of future success. By far in fact. Our roster is built because of great recruiting, development and roster management. It's really kinda all on the coaches to deploy well. If they do, yes

Better o line makes a running game. 4 large backs doesn't hurt.

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 15:44:27 -0500

Curt Marquis

It's a more complete team across-the-board. Defense should be a top 25 group

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 12:47:59 -0500

David McClymont

Strongest SF team yet. We've been close to beating our west div tormentors for the last 2 years. It happens this year. 3 wins vs Wi-IA-MN-Nw-Mi.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:38:05 -0500

Stephen Andersson

Absolutely, between the football and basketball teams should get to 8 wins in 2021.

I'm a fan and I think they can win them all. If you don't think so, be a colorado fan.

If Charmin gets into the NIL biz, they need to sign Martinez because that's how soft he is.

Philip Bierman

1. Who runs and catches? 2. AM may get hurt. 3. No ability to win 50:50 games or even ones where favored. 4. Field position and turnovers. 5. Most worrisome is moronic position from HCSF regarding vaccination. How do we get through season without loss of key players or need to forfeit?

Matt Seiler

A 7 win season would mean the best Husker team since the T Magic era, or maybe further back than that. This schedule is loaded and the B1G isn’t a cakewalk either. Only sure win is Fordham. I’ll be happy as long as they get a bowl game this year

Gerry Van Ackeren

Husker offense has a long ways to go before being competitive.

Sat, 10 Jul 2021 08:30:21 -0500

Thomas Foster

Huskers won’t get to 8 wins with solving the turnover problem and there’s no reason to assume they will.

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 14:03:29 -0500

Jon Petersen

They have a tremendously difficult schedule and they tend to lose games that they should win.

Kent Snowdon

two teams coming off a bye is not good for big red

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 13:31:00 -0500

Michael Chebatoris

Until they prove they will not shoot themselves in the foot with stupid penalties and turnovers expectations should be low.

Only if they pay Our Lady of Lords every game.

Maybe if you get a new quarterback

Tough year for it. I'll believe it when I see it with this coaching staff.

Fri, 18 Jun 2021 10:55:46 -0500

Rod Combs

I want to believe they can, but until the issues going on over the last several years stop....it's going to be more of the same.

Tue, 15 Jun 2021 11:26:22 -0500

Gale Cogswell

maybe if they play teams like the Ladies of the Lords...

Sun, 13 Jun 2021 11:57:09 -0500

Randy Weitzenkamp

Even with the difficult schedule they have the talent to get 8 wins. Unfortunately, this will also take team execution, discipline and a swagger we have yet to see. I'm hoping for 6 wins and a bowl. Anything more is gravy.

Sat, 12 Jun 2021 20:33:08 -0500

Douglas Norman

Huskers have not shown ability to beat even avg teams and are much more likely to LOSE one of the games they should win. then upset a team that they are underdogs in. This looks like a bubble 6 win team, at best.

Fri, 11 Jun 2021 07:39:37 -0500

Ryan Moss

But at least they’re not in the Big 12 any more, am I right? High five!

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 16:27:42 -0500

Trip Conroy

Not a chance, not with the schedule and no proven on-field play to show otherwise

cause we cant play consistent football. Call it the Frost effect.

Come on. Stop posting these silly articles. I’m a huge fan but NOTHING points to that much improvement.

Huskers does not have the will to win close games. They are 2 years away from winning the close games.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 20:33:07 -0500

John Fillmore

I have to see a decent downfield passing game first before I start getting too optimistic.

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 19:41:54 -0500

Danny Spielman

Why would we think this team could win 8 games? I always had rose colored glasses on over the last couple of decades. I took them off and, whew, Steve Pederson screwed us. Prove it to me!!!

Sure why not? He looked fantastic during the spring game. Could have been better but...could get there or come close.

He won’t get 49 targets

I'll reserve judgment until we've seen him consistently come down with catches in traffic over the course of a season. A JD in hand is better than 2 Omar's in the bush.

David Weaver

No clue yet - he's got all the measurements but has yet to be healthy until now. I think key will be can he stay healthy and can he play through minor injuries.
