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.

Finally Nebraska sport writers are taking off their rose glasses and viewing the Line issues which has been growing (girth not strength) since Solich days when I saw the first fat lineman.

Dana Holgorson doesn't know what a run first offense is. I love the aggressive nature of his offenses but we will NEVER be great without being run first. Run first and then air raid.

If we hadn't lost to Michigan I would have felt it was a one off. The lack of adjustments looks like a coaching issue with multiple coaches offense and defense. The offensive line is pathetic and needs an upgrade.

Incompetent coaching staff, admitted out coached, the defensive coordinator didn’t even know who was playing in the second half

I feel it ease worries a LITTLE bit. I think he has already talked to his friend Pat, AD at Penn State, and was told that Penn State Alumni want someone more proven than Rhule. So, Rhule is way down the list.
