what happened last year had some disappointments along the way, those disappoints will all but be a faded memory with the West division title in 2016.......

I believe that the Huskers have the right tools in place to win the west division. They should have last year, but had some close calls. They will be more committed this year and also will have experience on their side.

I believe that they have superior talent than most of the Big 10 west, and are equal with the best. Where Nebraska stands out is with the coaching staff. Mike Reilly and his staff make Nebraska the best in the Big 10 west!

Because of some unbelievable bad luck and working on getting the team to 'buy in' to the Riley system, last season was a thud..... They are buying in, know what is wanted and to do - yes, a Big 10 West Championship and possible more.....

the steady improvement from 2015 will continue into this season. TA is a seasoned QB who now has a good backup which will let him use his legs more.

Couldn't even beat Purdue last year. Same coach and less experience in the trenches where it matters most. Probably gonna be another rough one. Maybe in 2017.

A rough schedule... I think NU is tied with NW and Wisconsin for 2nd behind Iowa.

Can they? Yes. Will they? I doubt it this year. Riley's going to continue to try to make Tommy Armstrong a dropback QB and NU a pass-first team. Maybe next year with a QB more to Riley's liking.

No depth or experience in the DL.

The problem lies more with the head coach. He does not know how to win a championship. Never did win one at Oregon State. Whats different now????????

Age has nothing to do with winning. It's what's in their hearts that really counts. Haven't met a person yet that didn't do really well if he/she is 'determined enough'.

3 of the 5 didn't even play last year and Dillon Utter wasn't impressive. It takes time for an offensive line to develop chemistry. Maybe they can gel in 2017.

Put a thousand on it. Give yourself room to hedge as the season progresses. Of course alot rides on an undefeated first half of the season.

The loss of talent from last year, this coaching staff does not have my trust beyond 6-6 with the occasional upset, I believe we have the players who have the talent to do it, I simply do not trust the coaching.

Doesn't hurt to dream, but this is a building project. It will take Riley and company more than 13 games to get National title talk. How about the division first, then CCG!

This team is simply not national championship-calibre. We'll be extremely lucky even to reach the CCG.

They should start with a winning season before talking about national championships.

It's silly to exchange money when no product or service is being exchanged. Besides, it would be a huge leap.
