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.

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.

Coaching, talent, believe, together team

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

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.

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

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

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

Great QB, improved defensive play.

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
