ColoradoHusk Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 And of course you're right. But we only played two teams at home that finished with winning records: Wyoming and Minnesota. Which won't be the case this year. Yep, and NU's home record in 2015 was terrible. Last year's great home record was really due to the crappy home schedule. That's true, but A) part of our home record being terrible was just bad luck and B) our home schedule that year was insane. 9-4 BYU, #21 Wisconsin, #22 Northwestern, #6 Michigan State, #9 Iowa (all end of season rankings). We went 4-1 against those 5 but we were four plays away from going 5-0. I know you meant 1-4, but they were also 1 play from being 0-5. 1 Quote Link to comment

Basically we've been able to beat the not-very-good teams and lose to the good teams. Which makes us ... kind of average. Quote Link to comment

That should be our slogan going forward Nebraska Football: kind of average! 3 Quote Link to comment
