He does have a recruiting class that might reach 30 with only 9 scholarship seniors.

 

We have 22 scholarship juniors that would be seniors w/o the Covid year.  Very few of them will be back.

three, four, five....... all seven.

 

There is not a game left on the schedule that strikes fear in the hearts of anyone. Nebraska could win them all. Nebraska could lose them all since we get in our own way. I am seeing a run here that could take us all the way to 9-3 and a pretty decent bowl. Got to agree with  ...  TonyStalloni ... Now is the time to strike and get this done. With the additions to the BIG, it's going to be harder, and we need momentum.

None of the seven remaining teams we play are ranked in the Top Twenty five. However Maryland is 5-0 and hasn't had a close game. Our last three games, Maryland, Wisconsin and Iowa are winnable. Somewhere this team needs to discover how good it feels to win consistently.

Just one nitpicky thing here I take a little issue with. We’re used to blaming bad results on the Huskers getting in their own way. For sure that is the way it has been in prior seasons but I have yet to see that being the issue this year….maybe the stupid play call of a QB sneak from the shotgun, with no push from behind against Michigan could be labeled getting in our own  way but that’s about it. The games we have lost this season is almost entirely attributable to not having any of the needed pieces on the O side of the ball. Not getting in our own way with stupid and ill timed penalties and overly poor coaching choices hasn’t been the issue. Somehow, for me anyway, losing because we just don’t have good enough QB, WRs and OL seems to be more palatable than pissing away games on stupid things. Like I said, nitpicky….

 

TBF, I can see how the turnovers in our first two losses could be considered getting in our own way. But I look at it as hey, we had a turnover machine playing QB, of course there were going to be turnovers. Not really unexpected or fringe occurrences.

At this point last year, a sizable portion of the fanbase was willing to give the keys to Mickey.
