I know it is early but what are everyones opinions on how NU will do next year. I got a bad feeling it may not be good. This year I think we benefited from having an easy schedule, it looks like next year good be difficult, at ISU, at USC, at A&m, oklahoma st. will be better(just look at what they did to texas tech saturday), texas will still be talented. Pedersen better get some cupcakes for the non conference schedule so we can get to a bowl.
predictions for next year anyone?

9-2....losses to Texas and USC, hopefully we play competitve in these two
Beat the 2 other non-conference teams
KU's D will be down and it's in Lincoln
Iowa State game should be a good one, but we win close
K-State might be better, hard to tell now that Snyder is gone
OK State could be tough but I think we're better
Mizzou will be down, Pinkel might not even be there, and I don't see Chase Daniel running for 280 yards against us
A&M had a decent backup playing against OU on Saturday, that will be a tough game on the road
I think we handle CU next year, no Klatt, no RBs
It will probably be another year of near-heart attack games

JMO: I don't claim to know much...but this is how I see next year !
On a local radio show, I called in saying that NU has so much "young" talent, that it is not surprising that this team has struggled at times, especially on the road...
This young talent will eventually realize, through maturity, what it takes to play and WIN in the Big 12 and on the road.
An earlier prediction from a talk show suggested that possibly Nate Swift, Jordan Congdon and Zach Potter all have a great chance at being named to the Freshman All-American team..
Next year will be better, as performance on the field will indicate, but this team will still struggle at times, especially against very talented teams
Non Conf. = 3 patsies = 3 wins
USC = too much talent and mystique right now (like old NU) = loss
KU= defense takes huge hit, offense sucks = win
ISU = defense takes hit, but offense w/ Hicks too tough = loss on road
KSU = Get their OL back and tough to win down there = loss on road
Tex = best team in NCAA this yr. and next = loss
OSU = despite upset of AM, this is winable = win in minor surprise
Mizz = Welcome to Lincoln Chase Daniels = win
Tex AM = Tough place to play, Franchione on hot seat = loss
CU = still be very good, but no Klatt = close win at home
7 - 5 vs a much improved schedule and another bowl...
This team will improve and will be even better in 2007

I could honestly see us losing to all those teams there pretty easy but I'm sure we'll squeeze out a couple of wins. ISU is going to be very dominate next year as they are playing great ball and got a ton of talent back. Kstate is young and almost beat us at home, next year at their place doesn't look good. Texas and usc are blow outs. Okie state is gonna be alot better next year, colorado=loss.
a&m,mizzou, and a&m=no gimmes what so ever.

I think most know that those are going to be losses unless we get a really really good draw in the bowl game. REally good.
Just like you said Wake, Pitt, and ISU were. :wacko:

IMO The huskers CAN beat CU.The potential is there. I don't know that they will, but they have played to that level several times this season. The big question is... will they in Boulder?
The bowl game will of course depend on the "luck of the draw". IF the huskers get through the CU game with a SOLID performance, get some productive practice time in before the bowl, they can certainly compete with anyone likely to be matched with them. Let's face it, they won't be playin' ND or Ohio State.

Too early to give my prediction. CU game and bowl game left. Got to see what we do there we seem to playing more freshman and the last two games may tell alot what may happent next year.
