I wonder what odds are of replacing Cincy on the schedule in 2020? That's a clunker of a marquee game from Silent E
2019 Husker Football Schedule
- Thread starter Mavric
- Start date
I mean .... it's definitely not the big name that we're used to, but they finished ranked in the Top 25 last year. Which is better than several of our "marquee" OOC games over the last few years.
And I think the chances of replacing them is basically 0%.

While I agree with Mavric, I'd rather see Iowa State or Kansas take that slot.
Luke Fickell’s name has already been thrown around quite a bit. Another year like that and I’d expect him gone.
I agree, barring exceptional circumstances like we saw this year, that game isn’t getting replaced. I also don’t think having 3 weak non-cons is an issue that year. We open with Purdue, which could be much, much stronger than they historically have been.

Taking a closer look at this years schedule
not sure even the most ardent husker fan could have come up with a better schedule Based on where we are now
Sure a bit of a tough stretch with osu
northwestern and minny in a row but 2 of them are at home and those aren’t 3
3 total beasts in a row away etc
start off with a layup at home v s Alabama
travel to Colorado to play against a name team that has players that beat us last year thanks to us not having our quarterback and a warm up game
lots of red in the stadium new coach and system for them - so reasonable opponent on road that really won’t be on the road
then back home against a mid major bowl team that beat us 2 years ago
they will put up a fight but not deep enough to beat us here
then a layup against one of the worst conference foes in league
4-0 going into home game against the monsters of the midway which donu almost beat on the road last year
play well don’t get embarrassed
much rather play them early than late
4-1 then northwestern against a team with a new quarterback
we had these guys dead to right away last year
nw has MSU and wisconsin before us
5-1 must win against improving but not scary minny team nu blew out last year
lots of huskee fans at this game
minny has Ohio state and Iowa before us
6-1 week to rest before playing bad Indiana team at home
7-1 well coached Purdue team away
7-2 week to rest then wisconsin at home
Wisconsin’s chink in the armour has been exposed we could win this one but dont
Season is getting a little long here
but badgers play osu and Iowa before us very winnable 50/50 game
7-3 Maryland there md can be a bit one dimensional at times and easy place to play
they play Minnesota Michigan and osu leading up to us - totally beat up
8-3 Iowa in the grudge match in Iowa city
we finally get a few breaks to go our way this 50/50 game goes our way and we finish at 9-3
Nu beats Florida in outback bowl to end up 10-3
get Corcoran and 3 other 500 mile radius 4 star linemen and top 14 class
and Nebraska becomes the media darlings of 2020
doable stuff

I say we beat Purdue this year. That game was a bit of a turning point last season after we played a sloppy game we should have won
Also the refs were grade A atrocious in that game.

Curious to ask what your worst case scenario was for last year? Any input?
That a pretty high expectation ... to only lose 1-2 games, IMHO.

Minny's D really improved after replacing the coordinator. I hope it was a fluke. We could struggle with them this year if they have a dominant D.
