Saunders

I think the athletes/talent keep us in the games (which matches the recruiting rankings) but the coaching/development is the reason for the close losses that could/should be wins 50% of the time.

It's definitely more than regular bad luck. It's horrible luck and just doing everything possible to lose.

The irony is Iowa fans gloating about "the streak" during arguably their best stretch ever during our worst stretch ever, and yet still barely beating us during that streak. Iowa fans were quick to trot out "huck the fuskers" shirts back in 2002 and enjoyed NU's downturn more than your own teams success. It's weird, and kind of sad to be honest. That's just objectively false. Nebraska fans do that even in losses.

Here's a look at the 3-3-5 against Minnesota.

I do have that page scan. I was going to post it when Athlon does their online version.

The link has a game by game breakdown with their expectations. Can't say I really disagree, and I'd probably be pretty happy with 7-5.
