I AM FOOT FOOT Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 the coaching was better, the players wanted it and they won . Read and Stewart still need to go. Banker get it together Quote Link to comment
GBRedneck Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks like MSU and Iowa will both come into Lincoln undefeated. If we play like we did today, we've got a chance to beat them both. 1 Quote Link to comment

KC Sker Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Iowa doesnt strike much fear in me for some reason. i hope they come in all fattened up, highly ranked and undefeated. That might be just what our program needs right now. If we can knock off an undefeated sparty and Iowa....well my friends, the legend of Mike Riley begins! 1 Quote Link to comment
Branno Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Some of you negative folks need to think about this for a second. What if Riley started the season 2-4 in the first half, but finishes the season 6-0 in the second half for an 8-4 finish and a decent bowl? I'd say that's a helluva coaching job if he IS able to do that. Nevermind he would have wins against two top 10 teams along the way if those teams don't lose someplace else. Never mind the springboard response that this would create for next season. I don't realistically think that'll happen, but at least there is hope. I wouldn't exactly say Riley would have done a "helluva coaching job" if he ran the table to end the season. We are where we are because of bad coaching decisions. Quote Link to comment
lincoln84 Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Beating Iowa would be a great way to end the season. Iowa isn't scary good or anything. They have a good D but their offense is average for the BIG. Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I think we're capable of beating everyone left on the schedule. Iowa hasn't exactly had the toughest schedule, maybe best of the middle of the pack type of team. Northwestern is suspect. If we continue to play like the Minnesota game and do something about pass coverage, getting a rush or whatever, we have a chance against them all. MSU of course looks the toughest,......... but they may be ripe for an upset. Quote Link to comment
VectorVictor Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I want them to at least lose one. Because if everything shakes out (Illinois losing 3 conf games, Wisconsin losing 3 conf games) and we beat Iowa, we will go to Big Ten Title game. If we could make it, heck yea. We are out of the running for winning the West. That dream died last week. 0 chance. Unless Iowa drops two, and one of those two are to us--or do the tiebreakers not do head-to-head first any longer? Otherwise, if Iowa doesn't have their annual 'oops' game, then it will have it in the bag before they play us, and the only thing we can ruin for them is their Thanksgiving leftovers.

Red Five Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Putting the cart way, way, way, before the horse, but I'm curious how a 3 way tiebreaker at 6-2 between NU, Wisky, and Iowa would work out? Nebraska > Iowa Iowa > Wisconsin Wisconsin > Nebraska Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Iowa might be 7-0 but that schedule compared to other teams in the B1G is pretty soft so it's a misleading 7-0. Even if they somehow managed to go undefeated I see them getting destroyed if they made it to the title game let a lone a major bowl and played an actual good football team. Quote Link to comment
Vizsla1 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We can play spoiler for Iowa- I don't see any team standing in their way- except for Coach Ferentz. And that is ok in my book. Yes, it is bizarre to make an Iowa game like our "bowl" game.. I spat up in my mouth as I wrote that. My expectations were not too high with new staff and all the changes. As mentioned before, we have a good chance to defeat both undefeated Iowa and Mich State if we play the kind of football we are capable of. Before the Minny game, I placed bets on us defeating Michigan State- i am hoping we are starting our direction towards the peak of that dam mountain, while all those monkeys are falling of their backs. 3 way tie, we lose out on the Conf Championship I do believe.

teachercd Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 That Black Friday game needs some spice! The crowd is usually dead from Thanksgiving and a lot of the students are gone. Quote Link to comment

Nebraska > Iowa Iowa > Wisconsin Wisconsin > Nebraska http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-footbl/archive/081011aaa.html There is the tiebreaker. NU is in trouble with the division record, since it already has 2 losses in the West division. Quote Link to comment

NU is in trouble with the division record, since it already has 2 losses in the West division. Need Iowa to lose to MN and NU. Need Wisky to lose to MN. We are all 6-2, with 2 losses in the West. Then we would need MN to finish higher in the West than Illinois. Again, cart is way, way, way, before the horse, but there is the blueprint. Quote Link to comment
