Caliborn72 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 On the road against Iowa is our 2nd toughest remaining game in my opinion. 12th game in a row, in a pretty hostile location, and the opponent wants to crush us. We will have to see how (truly) healthy we are going into that game, but that feels like a likely loss. If we have something to play for though, it could be a really good game. Other than that and the Ohio State game, I feel like we can win every game on this schedule. The offenses get mostly easier, which would have been a problem for Diaco but I trust Chinander will take care of this. Scratch and claw for 6 wins and the narrative for this season changes dramatically and we finish with a strong recruiting class and lots of promise for next year with all the young guys getting so much PT. 3 Quote Link to comment

Dogs In A Pile Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 We will have a pretty good chance against Bethune-Cookman although I feel even that is not an automatic by any means considering the type of play this team has shown this year. If they overlook them, continue with the costly penalties and dumb mistakes that could be a very embarrassing loss. Beyond that I'm not confident we can beat any of the remaining teams on the schedule. OSU, no chance. Northwestern, MSU & Iowa, slim to no chance. Illinois and Minn, a chance if they can play a near perfect game. 0-12, not likely but possible, 1-11 is very possible, 2-10 is the most likely IMHO and 3-9 if they get things fall into place and they get lucky. Anything better than that is a pipe dream. 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I keep putting on my red shades and drinking the Kool aid and thing ya we can go 6-1 to finish the year! Then I remember we lost to Troy and Purdue and I come back to earth. I am hoping for 1-11 or 2-10. 1 Quote Link to comment
Warrior Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 If we win 5 games would there be a chance of a Bowl Game based on Graduation Rate? I think with improvement being shown it would be a case where I like the idea of another 10-15 practices for this group. Quote Link to comment

MichiganDad3 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 We may have 2 wins now if we could only punt the ball. We routinely lost 20 to 30 yards on possession exchanges because of ST. Now we have a punter, and we have kick returners if we can stop the penalties. Quote Link to comment

Many of those schools are already bowl eligible or close. Just a thought I know we need our 1st W and I'm hoping it comes this weekend! Quote Link to comment

There are already 4 bowl eligible teams and sizable number of 5-0 or 5-1 teams Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I'd be surprised if we won less than 1 and more than 3. 1 Quote Link to comment
