walksalone Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 If it's not even the sixth game of the season, and we're talking about next year, we're f*cked, and I do mean proper f*cked... Why??? We already had people talking about firing the coach after one game. What is being discussed on this board has absolutely no affect on if the program is f*cked or not. 2 Quote Link to comment

Danny Bateman Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Some good discussion on 1620 about second year success for head coaches. Apparently, Stoops, Tressel, and Urban all had great success their second years. It does set up to be a very interesting year. I'm more excited to see what the offense can do when Riley gets some QBs he actually recruited on campus. PO'B seems to be a great start, and if there's one arena in which I do wholeheartedly trust Riley and Langs, it's QB recruiting and development. Tommy should set up for a very nice senior season, though. I also want to see how the defense shapes up with their recruiting/coaching in general. Obviously a huge question mark right now. I will say the schedule next year seems much harder than this year. Quote Link to comment

Tommy needs to work on his down field vision, throws a lot of balls into ridiculous coverage and should be throwing the ball away more.....he has trouble seeing defenders who close on his throws and play on his eyes.

Highway6 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hi guys, first time poster here but wanted to chime in on the potential for this team as it relates to the 2016 season: I really think next year has all the makings of a breakout year. Tommy, despite the one play at Illinois, clearly has progressed as a passer and decision maker this season. A lot of the 50/50 type balls that you would have seen in the past are no longer being thrown. Running a multitude of screens and timing routes will help Armstrong develop even more next season, including another offseason with Langsdorf. I think it is extremely reasonable to expect Tommy to be around 63-65% completion percentage as a Senior next season, who would've thunk that after the 2014 season? Not only will Armstrong be better, but you're bringing back every play-maker on offense sans Jamal Turner. I would expect for Ozigbo, Wilbon, and Stevenson to make jumps as RB's both running and catching the ball. WR's will still be led by Westerkamp, DPE, Morgan, Reilly, and then add in guys like Alston, and we will more than likely see Grimm on the field as a freshman. This is some of the best overall talent we've had on offense in a long long time. Looking to the defensive side of the ball, Who do we lose that we will really miss? The biggest challenge Riley faces in his first full season is convincing Maleik Collins that he should stay for his Senior season, something that I think we may actually see as he becomes an even more complete player than he currently is. Watching Kevin Maurice last week really excited me to see what he can do as a Senior and we will need to see some growth from guys like Stoltenberg, Davis, etc. Freedom looks like a player that has an extremely bright future and I really think that you'll see an emphasis to move McMullen inside full time after this season. There isn't a Sr. Linebacker on the entire roster, and we start a true freshman in Dedrick Young. These guys could go from being a question mark before this 2015 season to the strongest point of the defense in 2016. It really comes down to the secondary to how the Huskers will fare in 2016 in my opinion. Bringing Gerry back obviously helps but we lose both Davie and Rose this offseason. Will Kalu be the #1 corner? Will we see guys like Mosley, Lee, or Anderson step up and have a large role on the team next year? Specialists look to remain strong as well. Foltz will be a senior (and fully healthy, something he isn't right now) DPE will be fully acclimated and healthy again, and Drew Brown will be an upper classman. If you look at that roster from top to bottom, it is really set up for a big year next year. Suffering through these learning curves and setbacks now helps bring a team closer together and should motivate them to be great during the offseason. The non -conference schedule next year looks to be much more manageable, as even Oregon doesn't look to be as daunting as we maybe thought when we scheduled them. I was livid after the Illinois game like everyone else but lets have some patience with this new staff. Adjusting from Oregon State to Nebraska is a completely different ball game, especially when the personnel in place isn't meant for what the coaches want to do. I think we could be in store for some big things next season in a division that should be fairly wide open. Let's finish 2015 strong and ride a wave of momentum into 2016, GBR! did not read but lol'ed at the title. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 Figured now was a good time to bump this. My expectation for 2016 is 9 regular season wins. There's really no need to not get to that benchmark. Only game that appears to be a near certain loss is @ Ohio State. God help our secondary in that game. Quote Link to comment

And Oregon. they return everyone that is impactful and they will upgrade at LB due to some juco recruiting. They being back Royce Freeman, and Thomas Tyner comes back from injury as well. All the wide outs are back. Most of the oline they play about 8-9 lineman regularly anyway. They bring back tons of experience at DL and Secondary. They need to find a QB but that won't be an issue next year with the young guys getting another year of experience in the system. Oregon will be super solid next year and will likely win the PaC12 Quote Link to comment

Oregon will be super solid next year and will likely win the PaC12 I'm not chalking that up as a W for the Ducks. They are losing Scott Frost for starters. Secondly Nebraska will be a much better team next year and this is an early season game. Thirdly, Mike Riley is uber familiar with Oregon but rarely had the team to do anything about it. Lastly, it is in Lincoln and I think that tips the scale in the Huskers favor. Quote Link to comment
