Tom Dienhart early Big Ten bowl projections

[skersfan]

One of the best coaches in America. 76 and 6 is his record I think, and Hawkins was not bad before him. They get kids that really want to play and play their guts out. I do not expect much of a drop off from them. I remember the cry who is the Moore kid he will never be as good as the last QB(can not think of his name).

 

Glad to see some confidence in this team. I am still on the bubble about them.

I would be please with this result. But I still don't get everyone's obsession with Michigan St. I think they will have a hard time moving the ball this year. I see them similar to our 2009 team...but not even as good as them.

I do concur sir

It bears remembering, although it is by no means predictive, that Dienhart watched every Big Ten team practice this year.

 

If you followed along with the BTN guys on twitter as they went on their bus tour, they did say good things about every single team. But they had - at least from what I saw - some of the most effusive comments about Nebraska. They seemed pleasantly surprised at how we looked.

 

Maybe that means nothing, and maybe this prediction is all smoke. But maybe we really are in for a decent year.

 

I caught the Michigan preview the other day and Denardo said if you're going to consider Michigan a top ten team, then Nebraska and Michigan State have to be top ten teams as well.
