Unlike last year, a very favorable schedule. If NU wins the games it should, it only has to win 1 of 4 against the tougher opponents (Northwestern, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin). I like those chances.

Dennis Paulsen

attitude and preparation are favoring the team. In addition if the team takes inspiration from Coach DeWitt and his personal; challenges off the field then look out.

Linda Ogren

Coaching, talent, believe, together team

Shane Johnston

I'd think 7-8 games is more reasonable but the favorable schedule gives them a win or two.

Clint Jones

Darrion Daniels is the reason why we get to 9. Before his transfer announcement, I had us at 7. This young man will make THAT much difference. He will allow the ends to get in the backfield.

Jay Carter

I believe it's husker power time!!!!

Mas Shara

It's a reasonable expectation for this season. The Schedule is much better than last year and the evidence from the second half of the season is ample that a major improvement should be expected. GBR

Steve “S85” T

The schedule and a better D. They lost five games under 5 points last year. This year will be much different. Go Big Red!

Randy Petersen

Great QB, improved defensive play.

Kevin Gaines

The first 4 games are key. Not only wins but some convincing victories will go a long way towards scoring an upset along the way. Anything less than 8 wins would be a disappointment. 10 wins is doable

I love this university and all of it's student/athletes/coaches/instructors. I feel this team is on the right path. Keep hopes high but know that growing pains will still rear their ugly heads. GBR

Joe Money

I’m not sure about the depth of the team overall just yet.

Jack Wickes

Lack of experience in O line, lack of running back and wide receiver depth and big questions still remain on D. I see them at 5-7 or 6-6. Jack, Omaha, NE

Tom Nelsen

Things look very promising, but I'm not ready to ramp up my expectations until we see the results on the field this season. GBR!!

Jay Safford

We will be better but the team is so young. I think 6-7 wins is where we land. I hope we get nine, just don't want to get my hopes up. Just beat Iowa!!

Doug Einsel

Young players, miscues, inexperience. 7-8 wins.

jerry williams

A lot of young players

ghuskerdude1

The staff walked into a mess. I expect improvement...but 9 wins is out there but it will be tough.

Randy Weitzenkamp

Not enough depth to reasonably win 9+ games. We'll need outstanding discipline and execution with precious few injuries to have a shot at 9+.

Chad Kramer

Unknown commodity or lack of depth at way too many positions including RB, WR, OL, and LB.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
