Would be funny if not. It's likely a result of other teams seeming more favorable. It's just really, really odd to see such a correlation between QB health and wins. Quote Link to comment
Hooked on Huskers Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Way too early consensus polls. I know meaningless preseason rankings but #70 ? Luckily only 12 rankings so far. Huskers: 9 underdogs including non-conference Troy. https://www.masseyratings.com/cf/compare.htm 2 Ohio St 5 Wisconsin 7 Penn St (not schedule in '18) 13 Michigan St 17 Michigan 21 Northwestern 22 Iowa 47 Purdue 64 Indiana (not schedule in '18) 65 Minnesota 70 Nebraska 78 Maryland (not schedule in '18) 96 Rutgers (not schedule in '18) 110 Illinois 46 Troy 79 Colorado 94 Akron 1 Quote Link to comment

They failed to score in their final two games. At media day Fleck was basically telling folks not to expect much. Perusing their sched I'd put them at 5-7 again and take the under.

Even though they have some experienced pieces here and there, youth plus questionable QB is a hard combination to win with, and he more or less just said as much. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Damn Maryland jumped to 5. I was thinking about putting down on them at 4.5. If it weren't for all their injuries they had at QB last year they would have had a nice year. Quote Link to comment
garn Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Over. This team can win 7 games this year, will need no less than 6 home wins and a win at NW. Quote Link to comment
