Nebfanatic Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 ^agree. I think this is the perfect year for a breakout for the Huskers. Don't know if that will happen but I feel like the stars are lining up for this year and I feel like if we miss the bus this year we may not ever see major success under Riley. I think this is a huge year for this staff as far as direction. Regardless of what happens barring a major dumpster fire of a season, Riley will be here for the 2018 season. But I do think Rileys success here or lack thereof will be largely dependent on his success in 2017. If we go 11-3 or better in 2017 we will be set up for a nice run imo. Another 9 wins this season though and I think Riley hits a ceiling. Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I figure it's Lee, since he's got the experience and POB hasn't separated from him. Either way, we have a rookie to break in and there will be rookie mistakes. 7 wins tops next season because of this. You know that's only happened twice since the 1960's right? You data is not your friend. I stand by my "data". 7 wins tops. Rosen only had 8 his rookie year, we dont have Rosen. DL and LBs are sketchy and I think Diaco is clinically insane, lol! Nebraska has 7 home games--count 'em, 7. The road games? @ Oregon, @ Illinois, @ Purdue, @ Minnesota, and @ Penn State. The only 50/50 or probable loss games at home are against Ohio State and Wisconsin, so there's more than likely 5 wins. We should beat Illinois, Purdue, and Minnesota that's 8 wins. The '17 Nebraska season hinges on the games against Oregon, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Penn State. I certainly see, and understand, your line of thinking...but I think we'll be better, much better, than you're anticipating. Where's Iowa listed? As a sure win? 1 Quote Link to comment

Listen, the Suckeyes have beaten us two years in a row because the team was still suffering from Pelini-itis. Pelini-itis is an inflammation of the effort gland which causes terrible pain and discomfort if the player exceeds 50% physical effort on any given play. (Word is Pelini-itis has been cured.)

Nebfanatic Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 So how about this quarterback battle huh? Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Regardless of what happens barring a major dumpster fire of a season, Riley will be here for the 2018 season. But I do think Rileys success here or lack thereof will be largely dependent on his success in 2017. I agree, and they need to make significant improvements in all phases of their game, because the 2018 schedule is a meat grinder and the margin for error is going to be more slim than in recent history. It's easily the toughest overall schedule they've had since joining the B1G. Quote Link to comment
