A losing season was tough too take, especially given losses to bottom dwellers like Purdue. Last year was a major step back. Maybe we are in the right direction now, but we traveled a great distance in the wrong direction last year.
Reasons for hope:
The coaches talk like TA will run more
DPE will be back
New DL coach
Reasons for despair:
Two DL drafted
Lost most of the OL
Lost the best FB in a generation, and maybe of all time

Took a big step back? We didnt win our division which isnt much of a difference from most years since the 90s

We didn't win a national championship last year either, which isn't different from any season since 1997, so I guess everything else has been the same since then too?
By that reasoning, if we had gone winless last year, that is merely equivalent to not winning our division, so no difference, eh?

You were able to reach your conclusion simply from me pointing out your troll post was the first troll post in the thread?

wouldn't a .500 coach get 3-3?
i have a lot more confidence in our guys than you have. last years transition from Bo to Mike was a lot rougher than expected....but it sure looked like it was coming together at the end of the season. add in what seems like great recruiting and it seems to me that we are heading in the right direction. how well this year? i am not sure...but i will say easily much better than your prediction.

Certainly losing 4 solid def linemen is tough to overcome but apparently we have some guys who can play if they step up and produce. O line is going to be interesting and I am actually hopeful that the guys stepping in will be a step up. Last year's O line play was mediocre or less. We won't have all conference anything perhaps but I think, as a group they will get dramatically better as the season goes along and be ready to give fits to most of our opponents. We will run the ball much better and throw the ball as well, with a drop in the interceptions by a good margin (still more than enough but fewer). I expect we will win the time of possession this season by a good margin and our total offense will be up a tad and rushing yards will be up 50 yards per game.
All of this is positive indications for the direction of the program. I do feel there is a little more positive outook in general BUT there is also a very negative undercurrent out there from the Pelini supporters and the Riley critics. It is understandable and that will take time (years I think) to get past. A 10 or 11 win season this fall will help coupled with a strong finish to recruiting.
