dtbugeater Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 if Anyone in this thread predicts Iowa as a win then you can put them in homer status. Im no fan but they have owned us—no reasonable person would just put that down as a husker win unless they just want to believe... 1 Quote Link to comment
yort2000 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Some of you guys are delusional. We only beat two of those teams this year, and the other two we beat were replaced with tougher opponents. 1st year in new offensive and defensive systems and you expect 8 wins. Geesh. 4-8 would be good next year and 6-6 would be tremendous. As Tom Herman said, there isn't any magic fairy dust. 2 Quote Link to comment

Almost all of Michigan's players look to return. Ohio State will lose a lot on Defense but won't miss a beat at QB. I don't see either team having "bad" years. Quote Link to comment

Mark it. If Michigan beats ND they'll make a playoff run. I think next year is the year Harbaugh turns it on and wins the East. Penn State is losing a lot on Defense. I see what you're saying on OSU, this is about the year that Meyer gave up at UF. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Under normal circumstances, with a good staff, next years schedule would not be deemed an impossible buzzsaw. But, even if we get the best coach and staff possible, this team has to get mentally unf#cked before they can compete with any of those 12 teams. That is not a quick or easy job after these past 5 years. I expect a better record and much better game performance next year but let’s be realistic, predicting 9 wins after the sh#tfest that was this year probably isn’t reasonable. How about we just be happy with seeing notable progress for a year or two. Please remember and consider what you saw transpire in our last 17 or so games. This team is soft, mentally fragile and apparently hasn’t been taught jack sh#t about how to play or win football games. It would be next to impossible for any of the best coaches of the last 100 years to get this team to 9 wins next year. 2 Quote Link to comment
BoNeyard Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 How nice is it to look at Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue on your schedule and be confident we will win? Quote Link to comment

I think UM loses to ND, nothing to base that off. You could see it this year with Urban, had no business losing to Iowa or Oklahoma honestly. Quote Link to comment

WE get some decent recruiting and get Frost on board by the first of the year, I think we can win 7 or 8 games next season. Akron, Colorado, Troy, Purdue, Minnesota, Illinois are locks. Michigan St is a home game. 7 wins right there. I guess I don't see why our schedule is any worse next season than it was this season? Michigan won't be as good as Penn St was this season. Wisconsin is the same team each season, and Ohio St won't have some key players returning. Akron - Win Colorado - Win Troy - Win Michigan - Loss Purdue - Win Wisconsin - Loss Northwestern - Win Minnesota - Win Ohio State - Loss Illinois - Win Michigan St - Win Iowa - Win 9 wins in Frosts first year with that schedule would be really good. That Michigan state game is a toss up and so is NW. Quote Link to comment

He doesn't quite fit with Urban's usual offensive identity. I wonder if either of his coordinators get poached this year. Quote Link to comment

Branno Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 All I hope for next year is a bowl game and no blowout losses. Anything over that is gravy. Quote Link to comment
