huskerfan69 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 oregon game was a disaster defensively, and northern ill game was a disaster on offense. we just need to get both sides of the ball to play great at the same time. there's no reason we can't roll over rutgers/illinois then throw our best shot at wisconsin in front of a ruckus crowd. am i right? 1 Quote Link to comment

4skers89 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wouldn't get my hopes up if both are wins. I still expect Wisconsin to be a curb stomping unless Chryst takes it easy on us. If I was Chryst I wouldn't run up the score but not because the opposing coach is a friend. I usually keep such pessimistic opinions to myself but there has been a lot of optimism for the Wiscy game at the start of the season. It's probably due to us playing them close last year which is setting people up for disappointment. If you compare how both programs performed over the entire season and common opponents I think you would conclude that our game was more of a fluke than anything. Quote Link to comment
Roll Skers Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Sounds like false hope going into Wisconsin then losing 27-3, followed by losing to an angry tOSU by a lot more Quote Link to comment
HuskerMav11 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wouldn't exactly say the Huskers played great on offense for the oregon game, nor would I say the defense played great against NIU. Especially when you considered that Oregon's D is pretty terrible and I can't even comment on NIU because who the f#*k watches MAC conference games except for the people who are paid to do it... Also to play devil's advocate, the next two games could be perfect games to expose how bad it really is, if you had any doubt in the first place... 1 Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 - drink much?? I don't think it has sunk in yet. We are one play from being 0-3. NIU was set up to be a re-bound game. No game is a gimmie anymore wt this team. Sad state of affairs for NU football. Quote Link to comment
BIG ERN Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 These next two games can only go one of the following ways: Beat Rutgers and Illinois to give us one last spark to beat a top 10 Wisconsin at home and start conference play 3-0 OR lose one of the next two games to show Riley the end of his career Quote Link to comment

Completely agree, they will show us just enough against Rutgers and Illinois and re-fill the kool-aid before letting us down against real opponents. I'm telling myself I won't buy in... but it will be hard. Quote Link to comment

If two s#!tty teams play, and the rules state one s#!tty team has to win, it doesn't make the winner a hot dog. Quote Link to comment
