Losing to Illinois and Michigan State but beating Iowa... Not sure how that happens.  :confucius

 

[hunter49]

5-7 would surely sink Frost

 

[FrantzHardySwag]

5-7 would surely sink Frost

If we lose to Illinois to start the season, things will start to get ugly. If we follow that up with a 2-5 start - things will be absolutely toxic. 

 

[Ulty]

I see they have one of our wins as SE Louisiana. Well, I can guarantee that we will not beat SE Louisiana this year! Who wants to place a bet?

 

[HS_Coach_C]

Meh. They couldn't even bother to get the schedule corrected so I don't put a whole lot of stock into it.

Pretty close to where I see us:

8/28 @ Illinois - I really hope we don't lose to freaking Bert.

W. 1-0

9/11 Buffalo - We should pull this off but it will be very ugly.

W. 2-0

9/18 @ Oklahoma - lol

L. 2-1

9/25 @ Michigan State - Tucker coaches circles around Frost again.

L. 2-2

10/2 Northwestern - Lose by 3 in a low scoring game. Offense looks like garbage.

L. 2-3

10/9 Michigan - We should lose this one on paper but Harbaugh is the more successful version of Frost and will find a way to drop this one.

W. 3-3

10/16 @ Minnesota - Fleck coaches circles around Frost again and wins this one easily.

L. 3-4

10/30 Purdue - We win this one handily and everyone gets a little optimistic.

W. 4-4

11/6 Ohio State - We score on the opening drive and lose by 40

L. 4-5

11/13 SE Louisiana - Should be a W and hopefully a confidence booster going into Iowa and Wisconsin.

W. 5-5

11/20 @ Wisconsin - Another close one but Chryst out-coaches us again for the victory.

L. 5-6

11/26 Iowa - Same bat time same bat channel. Out-coached.

L. 5-7

 

[hunter49]

Frost looks like a problem for us? out of his league.

Do you even follow this team?

Nebraska added Fordham and dropped SE Louisiana

LONG time ago. 

 

[Undone]

Have to beat Illinois, Northwestern, & Purdue in order to have any real shot at going 7-5.

Buffalo is probably the biggest wildcard game.

And then need to go 1-2 between Wisconsin & Iowa instead of the current trend of losing to both of them forever.

 

[Mavric]

And then need to go 1-2 between Wisconsin & Iowa instead of the current trend of losing to both of them forever.

I feel very confident in saying that our record against Wisconsin and Iowa this year will not be 1-2.  

 

[DefenderAO]

I feel very confident in saying that our record against Wisconsin and Iowa this year will not be 1-2.  

When we played Wiscy and that Melvin Gordon team, NU looked like it took about three in the L column.  I lost about 8 years of my lifespan with it.

[Nebraska55fan]

When an "expert" doesn't even have your team playing the correct teams- I'm guessing they really aren't much of an expert to begin with.  Reminds me of some of those really bad early season rags printed on recycled paper that would have 5-6 players on the roster wrong, kids that had exited the program long ago. And this was BEFORE the transfer mania thing.
