Red Five Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Continuing this series... After seeing a third of the season, what is your revised regular season win total? The preseason poll had 85% at 6+ wins. The post-Dublin poll had 25% at 6+ wins. What say you now Husker Nation? 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I said 3. Figure we might actually play well in 1 game and then maybe luck into another win. 3 Quote Link to comment

I was debating between 2 and 3, went 3. We *should* be able to beat Indiana at home. And maybe Illinois. Or maybe Iowa since their offense is so bad that they will only score 20 against us and maybe we can get to 21. 2 Quote Link to comment

Right now, Indiana, Rutgers and Illinois are the only chances we have to get wins. Maybe they come out with motivation and something new on defense to steal the win against Indiana. But, I don't think they win all three. Quote Link to comment
The Murphinator Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Went with 2. Think they will get one out of Indiana, Illinois, or Rutgers. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Iowa's offense is so bad that if we can get one or two stops, I think our offense can score enough to beat them. We should be able to beat Indiana with the talent we have. So I said three wins. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

They are going to come in with a lot more confidence than we have right now. Quote Link to comment

I don't like our chances at all vs Rutgers (and haven't really since before the year). Road game. Short week. Schiano in year 3. 1 Quote Link to comment

Agree. But Iowa could easily be sitting at 5 wins coming into that last game. For our case we need them to be at 4 or 6 so they are not motivated for that bowl trip. 1 Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I say 1 win. We're a dumpster fire and it's going to get worse before it gets better. 1 Quote Link to comment
Packerhuskerfan Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I think we win one more. I don't see the defense getting any better. If the offense can get back to playing more like the first 3 games, then maybe 2 more wins. 1 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 I'm not going to predict or think about wins for the rest of the season. As others have said, the team is an absolute dumpster fire. I don't think Mickey and the rest of the remaining staff will be able to make much of a difference, mainly because this program is broken right now. The only saving grace is that the Big Ten West is really bad, and NU also plays two average Big Ten East teams. 1 Quote Link to comment

Defenses are going to feast on NU's offensive line. 2 Quote Link to comment
