We should. Easier schedule. Good talent left from previous regime. Nice portal pickups. But in the last few years I've always felt optimistic only to have hopes dashed. So for now, I'm taking a cautious wait and see attitude.

Players look in better shape to finish games, which should help in some of the close ones NU has recently lost. Play calling should also improve. Let's not kid ourselves though, it will mostly rest on QB play. Jeff Sims must stay healthy! There just appears to be too much of a dropoff after him.

Matt Ruhle philosophy of training camps is complete opposite of Scott Frost. That’s why.

We were close in a lot of games the last two years. Better coaching and technique should make the difference.

NU has had enough talent to make a bowl game all 6 yrs they missed out, they were just the right coach away! I think Rhule is the difference & I see no reason they can't win 6 or 7 games, maybe 8! It will really boil down to team chemistry, can it gel that quickly? I think it will!

Should have qualified last season. They have the pieces, now the coaches topic it all together better.

The talent is/was there. The thing lacking was coaching > Culture, Discipline, better play calling, etc.

The majority of our losses the past few years were from a lack of discipline and attention to details. Coach Ruhl is all about both of those things.

I believe in the process that the coaches are instilling in the players and themselves to be the best you can be like Osborne and Devaney taught back in the day as well as being accountable one another! GO BIG RED TILL I DIE!!!!!!!!!!

Regardless of how we do against Minnesota, I think better coaching and accountability will get the Huskers over the hump.

Bowl games are not that hard to qualify for, which just shows how bad we've been lately. We can win half of our games.

I have lost faith. I will still cheer the Huskers on; but I won't believe them until I see it on the field, consistently.

Why not... at least we can hope during the off-season. We are Nebraskans after all.

Yes. In fact, NU will win 11 games next year. But 3 of the wins will be moral victories. Final record: 8 wins, 3 moral victories, 2 losses.

We replaced 3 coordinators and basically lost our d-line. I haven’t seen any evidence that our o-line will be good next year. We also lost most of our running back room. We’re probably not going to be much better next year than this year.

If Coach Ruhl had made more changes after year 1 (OC, special teams) I would be more optimistic for year 3. But after three games, extra practices, and a bowl game (barely) this year, I haven't seen much to make me think things will be that much better next year.

Baseball stadiums are NOT conducive to FB games...sight lines and angles to the field are designed for baseball and not FB. Will save the $3 to $4,000 dollars and watch it 10 feet from my icebox, and bathroom...Plus, who knows what type of Husker team will we be seeing...Too many nopes for me.
