ColoradoHusk Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 next season? What I would like to see is a 7 or 8 win Husker program. With 3 losses on the road and 1 at home. Man, that's such great progress!!! Riley's a genius!! Lose 7 games his first season, so expectations get lowered for following seasons and fans will be accepting of 7 or 8 wins. It's Callahan 2.0.

Pasadena Husker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Better Coaches: Check All "hard" games at home: Check Losing only 3 starters on defense: Check Expectations are winning the west and 1 loss at the most. That was my expectation last year too If they went 9-3 last year with all the hard games on the road and a crappy staff...I just don't see how it will be worse next year. Everything sets up incredibly well to make it to Indy next year. I'd consider not winning the West a failure, given how the schedule sets up. It's not EVER going to get any easier than what we have on our B1G slate in 2015. As far as BYU and Miami go, I don't know. I think we drop one of those games. I honestly see another 9-3 type season. Which is totally fine given the change. 9-10 wins and if we don't win the west, at least claim 2nd place. It will probably depend on how far they are able to develop Tommy (or Stanton). I don't see a Conference Championship Game appearance. New systems being put in place, questions on the offensive line and this defense was very overrated. I'd say 8-4 or 9-3 is likely but if Nebraska lost to BYU and Miami to start the year and ended up being 7-5 or even 6-6 I wouldn't be shocked Loss to BYU - Bo's ghost is blamed. Win to S. Alabama Riley is proclaimed coaching great. Loss to Miami Bo is blamed. Win to Ill and Southern Miss Riley got those kids back on track! Loss majorly to Wisc the camps divide even more. Loss to Minn, Riley gets for sale signs in his yard. Loss to NW geez guys new coach adjusting to the Big Ten have faith he will get it! Win at Purdue all right back on the road to Indy! Loss to Michigan State and or Rutgers. Win against Iowa. I am guessing 5 or 6 wins. Maybe just maybe people will stop the warm body argument and stop thinking coaching at that level is as easy as NCAA on the xbox... Fans will say its an adjustment from Pac football to Big Ten, some will claim recruits are wrong for the system, some will claim Bo poisoned the team. It will be 2004 redux. Huskerboard - still toxic. Kaz with the Dinger. Some of the teams are wrong but he was spot on. Some of the other quotes I found interesting and funny Kaz absolutely nailed it. lot of people thought a trip to the conference championship was in order. LOL! Quote Link to comment

Sea of Red Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Better than a .500 season realistically...just like Iowa who went undefeated this season. Quote Link to comment
cm husker Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Realistic? 9 wins a season. Was it worth tearing down Osborne legacy? No. But hey, we'll never lose a press conference under the current HC. 2 Quote Link to comment

alwayshusking Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 8 or 9 wins is a fair expectation for 2016 imo. I like the way we played the last 3 games, save the damn turnovers. Guys finally bought in and played hard. Find a way to get better QB play (grad transfer) and make a few talent upgrades it could be fun next year. Quote Link to comment
