Nebraska SquareOffs

No, not a chance. But if they are able to manage it from time-to-time, this plodding defense will give up 700.

I'll happily be proven wrong, but that's a lot of yards for one game, let alone averaging it over a season in the Big Ten.

With the defenses we're about to face? Not a chance.

Without a solid and outstanding running game, I just don't see it. Ohio St and Wisconsin can do it because they look like the Huskers of old. We haven't learned from our own past teams.

Too many unknowns. I think 400 is doable but we don't know yet if we Manning is healthy or if we have other solid options outside of Robinson. Also will 2AM be effective and is there a good #2 RB?

Ohio State’s defense will hold NU considerably short of 500 yards— a rough start of the season that will linger longer than one game psychologically.

But even 5-5 is a good season with this schedule. I see wins over Purdue, Illinois, N'western, Rutgers and Mich St who I believe will be the team we get from the East. All other teams will be top 25

Tough schedule stretch playing Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio State. Those will be top 20 teams or better against a young group of Huskers. Then Penn State later this year? 4-6 seems more likely

I didn't see them getting six wins with the old schedule. The schedule the Big 10 dealt them now is ridiculous. Could see 6 wins with Wisconsin's schedule.

The Huskers are not getting better, they are getting worse.

Too many questions to be optimistic this season. I certainly hope they do well but we'll just have to wait and see.

Huskers have not proven it on the field yet, But its coming, I don't think frost knew how bad it was here till he got here. huskers have not controlled the line of scrimmage against the power teams

There isn't going to be a season. They may try it for a couple of weeks but not many fans (maybe alumni) will watch scrimmages on TV. Advertisers will give up and the season will be canceled.

We need to be realistic .

I am hopeful. NU needs to jell on the field and off the field with everyone. I am still seeing a little chaos and with the COVID, this did not help.

3rd year to earn that big paycheck

You have to play the games to have a record.

Assuming we keep our current crossover games and then add Maryland then it might happen. Add Indiana or MSU instead then its less likely, but still possible. If its Michigan than not a chance.

Until they show they can win, I won't believe it.

Don't see the season being completed.

We were hoping to get to 7-5 by winning our non-conf schedule - before murderers row @ the end. A 3rd losing season is a very possibility, esp no spring practice. Better to cancel 2020- go big in 2021

Show me something, anything and then I'll have some faith.

Weak Defense that can't stop the run and puts zero pressure on QB's.

Even with all the talent, issues abound with Covid, unsettled execution, player attrition, and a plethora of unknown factors. There are no more pipelines, at least not yet. Go Big Red! Husker for life
