Saunders Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's pretty simple. What do you think happens the rest of the season?

Roll Skers Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I could see 4-2, but i went 2-4 because that is how this year has went so far Quote Link to comment
10_point_buck Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) We have no chance vs tOUS and Sandusky State Iowa will beat us again, Purdue is better than we are. We should beat Northwestern, but they have played us as tough as any team in Lincoln. We should also beat "row your boat" U, but playing up there will be tough and the most recent history in that series does not bode well for NU either. I said we will end up with 5 wins (total for the season), but that is if everything falls into place, just as easily could see it be only 4. Edited October 9, 2017 by 10_point_buck clarifying final win total prediction Quote Link to comment
Isle of View Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'm guesing 1 more win. Knowing Riley, it'll prolly be PSU. Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I voted 3-3. I think we beat Minnesota and take 2/3 from Iowa, Purdue, and NW. 1 Quote Link to comment
4skers89 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Win 2 out of Minn, NW, Purdue. Quote Link to comment
Popular Post The Maudfather Posted October 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 9, 2017 I voted 2-4, having us finish at 5-7, but wouldn't be surprised to see us go 4-8. We're just not a good football team. If we go 5-7 this season, that'll put Mike Riley's record at 20-19 at the end of year three. Who would have thought a career .500 coach would come in here and continue to be a .500 coach? 11 Quote Link to comment
TGHusker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I feel good about us winning one more game (NW) - all others (not named Ohio State and PSU) are toss ups. With zero confidence on those - I stuck with one more win. Maybe Riley pulls his yearly upset and beats.............Purdue 2 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Lose to Ohio State, beat Purdue and Noethwestern, lose at Minnesota, beat Penn State because #Riley, and lose to Iowa because #Riley. Diaco coahces bowl game against a terrible SEC East team and wins, Diaco strongly considered for petmanent head coach. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 2-4. Iowa is going to run all over us, Penn St and Ohio St are going to put up ridiculous numbers. Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern are toss ups. What's sad is we can easily lose out a lot like Florida's 2013 season under Muschamp where they lost their last 7 games including a loss to Georgia Southern Quote Link to comment
Caliborn72 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I believe in 3-3 and could even see 4-2. Unfortunately, it’s going to take some guts to pull off. Maybe we keep the Ohio State game close and use it to finish the season in a positive way. But I could also see us losing that one miserably and allowing it to become a chain reaction where we lose several more because the team checks out. This Wisconsin game felt identical to last years, the score wasn’t the same but we played with a ton of emotion and energy. Hopefully, the team is mentally tough enough to take (likely) another beating and then come out and finish the season strong but I could also see us losing every game the rest of the way.

ColoradoHusk Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I was going to say 3-3, but then I settled for 2-4. Ohio State and Penn State are going to roll NU, and I think NU is basically at the same level as the rest of the teams on the schedule, so NU probably goes 2-2 against the other 4. In all honestly, Riley's teams find ways to lose, rather than finding ways to win. 2 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I went with 2-4 but only because I really thought 1-5 and allowed for one of Riley's surprises. I could easily see this crew going 0-6. Northwestern seems like an obvious win but they seem to take us to the wire every time. Hopefully it's not that ugly. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 2-4 We can beat teams with hideous offenses. That sums up both NW (98th in yards/play) and Minnesota (101st in yards/play). Quote Link to comment
