cheekygeek Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 It’s also that time of year when NU fans have little to do but snipe at each other. Quote Link to comment

The USC game sucked, but the narrative on here and around the web and maybe even the nation was, "We're still a really good team, USC is just other-worldly good". Then we beat Ball State, which made people pretty damn frustrated and nervous because they were considered a s#!tty opponent, and then we beat Iowa State confidently so we were still relatively optimistic with goals in front of us. Then Missouri happened. Then Oklahoma State. Then Texas A&M. Quote Link to comment

Nah, that season was doomed even if we hadn't played USC. Painful as the USC game was, you could pretty much see where things were going after we barely eked out a win against Wake Forest the week before (which some seem to have forgotten about - oh look, yet another end-around that we can't defend!). 1 Quote Link to comment
Apsu Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 We were playing the first USC game not to get blown out. Something that happened far too frequently under Pelini and Riley. Quote Link to comment

I don't remember Pelini's teams ever playing to not get blown out, but sometimes they played not to lose/let up on the gas when they got ahead. Quote Link to comment

Redux Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 We should definitely open the year playing a West division foe like Iowa or Northwestern or Minnesota. A lot of the time we are going to be better than any 3 of them, starting with a tougher test out the gate and notching a division win while saving a cream puff for later in the year is just smart scheduling. 1 Quote Link to comment

Here's the conclusion about Nebraska: Quote You know what? We'll stop at six ifs, but I think you get the idea here. Barring another second-year miracle, this is not a national title contender.

A downside in moving a cream puff back is that is likely a home game being moved back, which is a delayed opportunity for recruiting visits. Quote Link to comment
