BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Nope, said 4-6 wins weeks ago....looks to be more like 4 wins and I had this game as a win. Quote Link to comment
Husker67 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm in agreement with you guys. I had this, Purdue, and Rutgers as winnable games. Best case was pulling of an "upset" of Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, just to get to 6. Northwestern's defense against this offense could be ugly. NW held Stanford to 6 points, look how many Stanford has put up since then. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 After the hire I posted that coaching changes usually result in a not so good record first year. Several members here emphatically stated that I was wrong and 10 wins should be expected based on the schedule. Where are those guys now? Oh, they are in Florida, undefeated and just beat the #3 team in the nation who smacked Bama last week. Florida, a team who went 5-7 last year, couldn't play offense...scored 38 on those crazy "Land Sharks". You hire the right guy, he improves from the year before, not regress. Even Pelini was able to do that. I hate Bo, and have for a long time, but dang this hire was stupid. I was stupid enough to buy in. Quote Link to comment
Dansker Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hindsight 20/20 says we go 4-8 and everyone is gone after the year. Quote Link to comment
GBRedneck Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 If we could somehow find a way to get half the teams on our schedule to forfeit all their games this year, we might get to 6 wins. 1 Quote Link to comment
GBRedneck Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I was kinda hoping for a Foster Farms Bowl matchup with Oregon State or Ohio. Quote Link to comment

NW 27, Minny zip 0W and 5L in October? 2 games at home, 3 games at Minneapolis and W.Lafayette Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 We have the talent level of your Illinois, Iowa, Minnesotas of the world. This was true last year, it's true this year. Possibly more so -- the talent and depth level of the team is lower now than in 2014. We also have a coaching staff that looks more disaster than savior at this point. Gulp. If things don't turn around, we're going to find ourselves in a Charlie Strong situation. I don't think Strong is a bad coach either, or that he inherited a great situation (despite the "talent" you'd expect Texas to have on their roster). But the results have not been good for him, and it has surely been an ugly and unpleasant few years for Texas fans. Hope to goodness that doesn't happen here. Quote Link to comment

Possibly more so -- the talent and depth level of the team is lower now than in 2014. I don't think this is true. Not a perfect measure but 247 says we're significantly ahead of all of those. Nebraska - 25 Illinois - 58 Iowa - 53 Minnesota - 62 Quote Link to comment
