necoates77 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 We are 3-6. They are 9-0. We are unranked. They are highly ranked. We just lost to Purdue. They hung 50 points on us. QB's salivate to play our secondary. Cook is a 1st round lock at QB. Their D is solid. We win, its huge. Possibly the biggest in NU's history. This year, we are Kansas of the B1G......... Unfortunately this is correct, being totally irrelevant to the conference and national picture this year would make it the biggest upset. Quote Link to comment
Husker Psycho Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Nebraska is currently ranked around 65th in the nation... So a victory against a top 10 opponent would be HUGE because of the distance of seperation in the ranking. Quote Link to comment

Count 'Bility Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 It wouldnt be a big win at all. Honestly. Wed be 4-6. Its be nice but the immediate significance would be meaningless. Esp since wed probably lay an egg at Rutgers the next week. Now what im really trying to get at with this sourpuss take is that the significance of such a win-or even close loss ill add-will not be felt right away. But it could be a springboard we need. But in terms of just the run of the mill big win? Not that high on the list. Quote Link to comment

brophog Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Cook is a 1st round lock at QB. Probably not. Completion percentage across the spectrum doesn't correlate between college and NFL success, but completion percentages under 60% do, and therefore has become a key indicator. Connor Cook is a 57% passer this year, never a season over 58%. The list of sub 60% passers drafted in the first round since 2010: 2011 Jake Locker Not exactly a long list. It should also be noted that while 60% is the traditional number, for reasons listed above, the number is closer to 65% in recent years. Quote Link to comment

It should also be noted that while 60% is the traditional number, for reasons listed above, the number is closer to 65% in recent years. I'd be stunned if Cook dropped out of the 1st round, mostly due to the fact that there doesn't seem to be that many good draft eligible QBs this year and it seems like there are always 3-4 teams taking QBs in the first round. You've got Cook, Lynch @ Memphis, Goff @ Cal, Hackenberg @ PSU (if he leaves early) and that's really it. Well, you've got Jacoby Brissett (sp?) from NC St as well. Quote Link to comment
Joe_5700 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 This would be the biggest win since the MSU game in 2011 To win this game I have four keys Neb must force a few turnovers- like 2 or 3 or more We must not turn the ball over- max of 2 one will probably happen We must force MSU fo kick a few field goals when they get to the red zone The offense must get 120 plus yards rushing with our passing attack The coaching staff also has to not be a handicap...

Bowfin Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Maybe this is a thread that would be more appropriate if and when said win is put in the books. Still, I would like to see it happen, and then knock off Iowa from the unbeaten ranks as well. Quote Link to comment
twostep80 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 So yeah, this definitely felt like the biggest win in the last 14 years. Still coming down from that high! 1 Quote Link to comment
