I remember Mike Riley even had us undefeated and ranked.

 

I remember when you said losing to Purdue was cause for termination all by itself.

you'd think not having a winning record against any B1G west teams would be cause for termination all by itself after 4 years...

A win Saturday would be really good......

Meh. Would take us to 4 wins on the year out of 9 games played.

 

It only winds up being "really good" in retrospect if by some absolute miracle we win 3/4 and get to 6-6.

 

Otherwise, a win on Saturday is honestly practically meaningless.

Not going to get there without a win on Saturday.

Pick two wins against any two remaining teams, and you can make an admittedly thin case for progress. If the two losses are hard-fought, it bolsters the argument that this team is close and avoided the blowouts that have tainted three coaching staffs. 

 

Anything less and you're really stuck with the Huskers finding new ways to lose despite Scott Frost's best roster.

 

For any of you claiming to have inside information, the only thing I want to know is the mood of the players.

I would agree with those measurables.

 

The other thing I think is an indicator of better recruiting and development is the number of NFL draft picks we will start to see again.

You mentioned that a few posts ago, but if some of Riley's recruits do get drafted off this 5-7 team, how does that translate to development and optimism? 

[Undone]

If we go 5-7 it's not progress at all.

 

Progress is Frost going a minimum of 7-5 next season.

Allen, Stille, Daniels and Taylor-Britt are among the players that have developed into draft picks.

 

Reasons for optimism ....a deep DL, 60% of the OL in good shape for at least two more years and good overall talented youth at many positions 

 

Get the right side of the OL figured out and we're fine going forward

Progress would be going 7-5 THIS season, and its still mathematically achievable.

Both of those things you said are correct. But we won't go 7-5, and the odds of even going 6-6 seem astronomically low at this point.

 

Frost will be here next year, and he better find a way to go 7-5 or he needs to be fired.
