Head Coach Scott Frost Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Wisconsin loses a ton. Maybe this is the year we beat them. Quote Link to comment

I was kind of excited because for once there didn't seem to be a clear absolute stud RB on their roster, but then they got a commit from this guy. Yeah it's silly to count on freshman being studs, but look what Gordon/Taylor did against us as freshmen. I'm still optimistic, but less so. Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Kinda crazy Mills is the returning leading rusher in the west. He should improve on his numbers a fair amount one would think. Quote Link to comment

He should improve on his numbers a fair amount one would think. I would probably put him at 1000 yards and maybe 12-14 TD's. I still think Frost will want to spread the wealth and carries at I-Back, and he's going to want a home run threat at RB. Plus, the WR's should be more productive (at least I'm hoping they will be).

With the experience our OL gained, the way they were blocking at the end of the year against stiff competition, and the fact the offense really started to click with mills at the end of the year I think we’ll see a lot better of a year. All conference type of year maybe 3 Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Sadly, when I first glimpsed this thread title, I thought it said "Returning Talent Big Ten Worst". I assumed it meant us, and I wasn't the least surprised. Really sad. Quote Link to comment

Let me tell you something. These teams in the Big West are the same.....damn....team they are every year. Doesn't matter what the f#&% these teams lose. Doesn't matter what the f#&% these teams bring back for the most part. They're the same damn team eeeeeeevry single freaking year and if you don't believe me then look at what Wisconsin lost before last season and they still put on the field a damn "ground and pound, 2,000 yards Jonathan Taylor, Winning the West" type of as team like they normally do. It's no different no matter which players they use. They're going to have yet another Jonathan Taylor just like they replaced the f#&%ing Corey Clement as player from before J.T came in. It doesn't matter what they use. Same thing goes for f#&%ing Iowa, and the rest of these "same team different players" a$$ teams. What's important more than anything is if Frost gets Nebraska to functioning at our best in order to be able to beat these "obstacle course" type teams in the west who never get any better or any worst than they are every season for the most part. But the best Nebraska team WILL be good enough to beat these "obstacle course" Big West teams, but who the hell knows when that'll happen for FROST at Nebraska. Not MIKE RILEY's best team(s) at Nebraska. Not BO PELINI's best team(s) at Nebraska. But the best SCOTT FROST team(s) ought to whip every single Big West team's a$$ and challenge for the Big Ten overall. Point blank period. However, judging from the very slow a$$ progress under Frost we seem to be having it looks like it'll take 9 damn years for that'll happen since we've gotten so damn weak as a program that even a coach of Frost's caliber (and he is in fact a VERY great coach) can gets us just only about 1 extra damn win a year. So hang on for a while before you look at us beating Wisconsin. I'm telling you right now that s#!t is going to take... a MINUTE! (very loooong minute) But it's coming. GBR 1 Quote Link to comment

Hide contents You sir, I just got to give some damn credit to for you are one of the most funniest, light-hearted, and good spirited Husker fans on this entire damn sight. Every time I see your light-hearted post filled with levity I always laugh my a$$ off but in silence since most of the time I just keep it to myself. But I've GOT to say something about it this time. You're a breath of fresh air when I come to this sight pissed off as a raging bull out of my freaking mind about the Husker's performances as of lately (these past few years of not making a single damn bowl game) but then end up in such a good mood after seeing one of your once again hilarious types of post. Keep being you sir. Please. It's highly appreciated and God bless you. 2 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 GREAT thread, Ern! Some other Huskers that might be considered notable: (honorable mention all Big 10--except for MoWash) OL Brendan Jaimes DL Darrion Daniels ILB Mohammed Barry RB Maurice Washington 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Good chance in my opinion that Dedrick Mills has a 1,000 yard rushing season. 1 Quote Link to comment
