Hayseed Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Northwestern is terrible......they haven't lived up to expectations..........they're 1-2 against teams they should've beat.We, on the other hand, are 3-0 beating a ranked Oregon team and handling the other two teams pretty easily. We'll probably be 7-0 going into the Wisconsin game because in my head that's how it looks on paper. Nothing could possibly go wrong in the next game or even the three after. We could probably just take the week off and party down.Mark Banker Quote - "I think whoever that defensive player is should shut up and not say anything, and say it in private if he wants to, but don't believe it," the coach said. "It's like one of those things ... You put it in your mouth -- if you taste it, it's one thing. If you swallow it, you'll probably die from it." Bottom line, "You can't worry about that stuff," he said. "Because as soon as you're up, someone's going to lay the wood to you and you're going to be down." http://journalstar.c...b86a2c8d5b.html We're playing on their field......the weather could be bad.....key players could get injured...........it's the first away game.......the flu.....interceptions......penalties......fumbles.........wife makes pie with Colorado peaches causing bad juju.......

knapplc Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 We're weird after we lose. We may be weirder after we win. 2 Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think the players will stay pretty grounded. Riley is the type of coach to not let the success get to the players' heads. Quote Link to comment

Norhusker Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 With Bo we were Bi-polar. Hopefully that is behind us for the most part. An away game even against a shaky Northwestern team can go south in a hurry especially after a huge emotional win.... I think we win, but not by a huge margin. Quote Link to comment
ladyhawke Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I agree. We HAVE to treat this team like we did Oregon or we will get smoked. EVERY game counts. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 One game at a time. We always seem to get their best game. They'll will be ready. I'm confident we will be. I hope that it's enough. Just like Oregon, play calling and ST play will be the key. Quote Link to comment

southernoregonhusker Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Now I have Kenny Loggins in my head. Quote Link to comment
HuskerMav11 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I agree. We HAVE to treat this team like we did Oregon or we will get smoked. EVERY game counts. It's actually more important. Non-conference games are for the most part irrelevant. It was important for us in terms of establishing our identity and gaining confidence in the program, but the season actually starts next week.

BoNeyard Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It definitely won't come easy and there is a chance for a huge let down. But here are factors I see that help Nebraska maintain focus and win this game they are suppose to win. -Wearing decently looking alternate uniforms. (I hate changing uniforms, but after a big win like Oregon and going to face a underachieving team in NW, keeping players focused might actually work with silly uniform changes) -First road game of the year. However, these two things could also be a reason we lose. Players think they are so flashy with the new unis and coming off a huge win that they can just walk out there and win. And it's also the first road games of the season which can be tough.... Crap.......don't know, just win! Quote Link to comment
alwayshusking Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 That's the next challenge for this group. They've shown they can beat MSU, UCLA, and Oregon in the last 7 games, now it's about beating 4 teams that we'll be favored to beat. This team isn't talented enough to just show up, they need to play good ball. We'll see how they handle a little prosperity. NW has given us fits regardless of the type of team they've had since we entered the league. Quote Link to comment

DPE looks great escaping the defenders when he caught the punt, but I was surprised he was caught. Has he lost a step or was that Oregon defender really fast? Quote Link to comment

I'm not going to be concerned about him losing a step until we play teams with normal speed. Oregon is fast across the board. I don't know who caught him and how fast he is. I just know Oregon has some really fast players. Quote Link to comment
