McCheese State did not scare me last season.

Who?

This is a different team, different season. Illinois just lost to Eastern Michigan. This is a should win for the program and if it doesn't happen, I will be disappointed. Illinois is a bad football team.

The line keeps climbing for this one. I think we win in blowout fashion. This is like a practice test before playing OSU next week and I think the team will want to show they are ready.

Looks like they have a mostly solid OLine except when they have to pass the ball. If they’re dealing with a lot of 3rd and longs, we will feast.

It’s an AWAY game. Frost is a stunning 0-6 in away games and that includes Colorado this year. It is significant that the Huskers are favored at all.

I mean sure but 4 of those were At Michigan, At Wisconsin, At Iowa and At Ohio State.

The only "bad losses" were at Colorado and at Northwestern, both losses went to OT where we lost by a field goal.

I'm actually glad to hear the team realizing the loss streak for away games.  This would be an easy game to look past to OSU.  But, if they are keying on getting that first road win and taking care of business, that's less likely to happen.

Nah the Michigan game was a terrible loss. That's the worst we've looked in a single game in years.

True,

But, I'm pretty sure @Blackshirt316 was talking about losses that we should have won.

The 2012 B1G Championship was worse, but I guess that's "years ago."

I think the 2017 54-21 loss to Minnesota was worse though. Michigan was at least a good team, Minnesota was not that year. 2017 loss to NIU rates up there as a terrible game too.

idk i think the michigan loss might be worse than both. if i remember right we had -8 yards at halftime. if michigan wanted that game could have been 80-10 easily.
