probably so, but what is sad is that we are celebrating last second so called miracles to beat Mcneese State and Northwestern,, that alone is embarrassing in my opinion but as long as we are part of the pathetic 10 conf I doubt we will see much improvement, the coaches we have are more into being "Hip" and fads than looking into real Nebraska football.. Nebraska needs it's Identity back and much of that identity was found in the fact that we were unique in what we did and we need that to stay near the top as we will NEVER get the very top talent year in and year out as the warmer weather states do, so our uniqueness would help keep us a top competitor.. just my thoughts

I would like to think we would have won in overtime but I hope this is a wake up call for the entire team that you have to bring it the entire game against EVERYONE!!

not the way we were playing, we were outplayed and out-coached, especially out coached since preparation is a function of the coaches more so then the players. I hope the coaches learned more than the players about mind set and preparation than the players did on this one.

Because we suck and our once proud program has now been relegated to debating cute nicknames and pondering whether or not we would have beaten an FCS opponent without the play of said nickname.

The Huskers had no answer for McNeese St.

Because someone has to be able to make up for the terrible coaching and recruits on this team!!

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.

He was a tackling machine with a less talented defensive line in front of him at Georgia Southern. He will have bigger gaps and less linemen reaching him IMO

Dick Butkus is the best Big Ten linebacker. But Watson-Trent might be the best ever with a hyphen in his name. Jack Ham is the best Big Ten linebacker to have the middle name Raphael. LaVar Arrington is the best to have a capital V inexpliccably inserted into his frist name. The list goes on.
