THEY BETTER WIN, besides the sellout record (which is the best record a school can ever hope for) we only have the win streaks over MU and KU at home left... BO, dont let the tradition get completely smashed. Rebuild on what is left and show the country what we already know... you were born to be the head coach at Nebraska!
I'm more concerned about our offense than our defense this year. Bo has a track record of coming in and turning defenses around and fast. His teams have ranked remarkably high by the end of the year. I see our defense carrying us.
The offense has lost Callahan. This is significant only because there is change. I don't believe that his firing was a bad thing. Our offense was over rated last year. We struggled to run the ball. We made a lot of passes but we made a lot of turnovers. Our passing numbers were inflated because we were always playing catch up. We are all looking at our number 11 ranking in total offense and forgetting what we saw in those games. Yes our total yards and total points were good. Our running game sucked. Our offensive line wasn't making panckake blocks and holes were small and short lived. We sure could pass block though.
I don't know how much improvement we will see with our offensive line, I'm encouraged with our strength and conditioning.
I believe we will beat KU.
MU is returning a rediculous number of starters and they are the real deal. They stuck it to a decent KU team last year, had other significant wins, saw Oklahoma's best performance of the year and held our #11 offense to 2 field goals. Thank God we play them at home it gives us a chance.
96huskergrad prediction 10 wins 3 losses. We win our bowl game and lose to MU, TT and OK.
I hope I can make it to a game or two this year. You'll recognise me, I'll be the loudest guy in the section when our BLACK SHIRTS are on the field.
