Kolarevic needs to be a bit more controlled in his 1V1 tackles. The backs in the flat were able to pause, then juke past him. If he was a bit more controlled he could of had a few tackles for loss on key plays. That would have slowed NW offense down some. Early on, when they had long 3rd downs, they didn't do so well. Making a few more plays would have really help the D. another was one NWs first TD. The blown coverage. I hope it was just a simple communication error and not someone not knowing the scheme. a few tweaks and they MIGHT be able to perform better.

I hope you're right 84.

I was talking about Garcia-Castenega's fumble.

I wish there was an IF in there. I voted the end of the season though. I'm with Mavric, don't see much upside by midseason firing (unless it's just an atrocious season).

That call WAS a big deal. Going in to score, instead being a turnover.

What 84 said. The run game overall sucked. If they fix that, the rest of the offense should fall into place.

I was at 8 (7 low and 9 high). Voted six because i'm a masochist i guess. The defense didn't play as well as I thought and the offense still disappears during the game. I hope I'm wrong and they can turn it around. Loosing what little hope for Frost i had.

I actually predicted 8-5, but I go in each week expecting to play a clean game and win. Unfortunately, they don't seem to play clean games. I actually predicted 8-5, but I go in each week expecting to play a clean game and win. Unfortunately, they don't seem to play clean games.

I do every week. Even the past five years.

In an earlier thread I said 8-5. I'm getting more confident. Just hope it's not another letdown.

Northwestern - Win North Dakota - Win Georgia Southern - Win Oklahoma - Maybe Indiana - Win Rutgers - Win Purdue - Win (if we don't choke like recent years) Illinois - Win Minnesota - loss (Fleck just has our number) Michigan - loss Wisconsin - Maybe Iowa - Win Bowl Game - Maybe

I agree with this more than anything. They are also getting their OC back that was there Morgan's freshman year when he had a pretty good year.

I start every year like this. The recent years have ended like this.

Stanford and Cal bring the San Fran market. Plus Stanford brings HUGE academic standing and research and would help bring ND (most of the teams they play would be in the BIG). The BIG does still put some emphasis on academics, unlike some other conferences.

Not to pick AM, but he overthrew LOTS of wide open receivers. He also had trouble hitting the RBs in the flats. Those passes would have kept the defense a little more honest and made the OL look better. I'm hoping that, if nothing else on offense improves, that CT can make more of those throws.

I've been saying this SF got here. clean up the bold parts and this is a GOOD team. So many stupid mistakes (and special teams) have CAUSED them to lose.

The Kool aid flows deep with this one. I'll have what he's having.

I believe that the Huskers win that game. I'm more concerned about Minnesota. It seems like NU craps the bed when we play them. Iowa and Wisconsin, NU can play with them. Just need to clean up the stupid mistakes and they win. Michigan is more of an unknown. We know they lost some players, but did they replace them? Harbaugh had a great year last year, but has questionable games since he's been there. Just don't know. OU is kind of an unknown as well. New coach, lots of good players leave.

Nebraska Football has never lost to Rutgers. Historically they are 5-0. Four are in the past decade.

I disagree. If NU is 8-4, without blowout losses, they will get the benefit of doubt and be in the top 25. Even though they have performed poorly the last 5 years, the powers that be would like them ranked. I know most of us say that ESPN (and others) don't like Nebraska, but they want traditional powers ranked.

I understand, which is why I said "if they reduce stupid mistakes...". NU has been the better team, but just can't get out of their own way. Again, I am an eternal optimist. By the way, I am predicting an 8-4 record minimum.

I'm surprised that most everyone has Purdue beating NU. They barely one last year with AM throwing four picks. If the huskers can just reduce some of the stupid mistakes, ST play better, and the rest play as good as last year, then it's a winning season. I know I drink the every summer. No matter how many times I am disappointed, I still go into the season optimistically.

I'm with you and RedDenver.

I have been saying this for a while. Thanks for feeling the same.
