Biggest win since...?

[necoates77]

We are 3-6. They are 9-0. We are unranked. They are highly ranked. We just lost to Purdue. They hung 50 points on us. QB's salivate to play our secondary. Cook is a 1st round lock at QB. Their D is solid. We win, its huge. Possibly the biggest in NU's history. This year, we are Kansas of the B1G.........

Unfortunately this is correct, being totally irrelevant to the conference and national picture this year would make it the biggest upset.

Nebraska is currently ranked around 65th in the nation...

So a victory against a top 10 opponent would be HUGE because of the distance of seperation in the ranking.

Actually we are currently ranked right near Iowa State.

It wouldnt be a big win at all. Honestly. Wed be 4-6. Its be nice but the immediate significance would be meaningless. Esp since wed probably lay an egg at Rutgers the next week.

Now what im really trying to get at with this sourpuss take is that the significance of such a win-or even close loss ill add-will not be felt right away. But it could be a springboard we need. But in terms of just the run of the mill big win? Not that high on the list.

Cook is a 1st round lock at QB.

Probably not. Completion percentage across the spectrum doesn't correlate between college and NFL success, but completion percentages under 60% do, and therefore has become a key indicator.

Connor Cook is a 57% passer this year, never a season over 58%.

The list of sub 60% passers drafted in the first round since 2010:

2011 Jake Locker

Not exactly a long list. It should also be noted that while 60% is the traditional number, for reasons listed above, the number is closer to 65% in recent years.

I'd be stunned if Cook dropped out of the 1st round, mostly due to the fact that there doesn't seem to be that many good draft eligible QBs this year and it seems like there are always 3-4 teams taking QBs in the first round. You've got Cook, Lynch @ Memphis, Goff @ Cal, Hackenberg @ PSU (if he leaves early) and that's really it. Well, you've got Jacoby Brissett (sp?) from NC St as well.

This would be the biggest win since the MSU game in 2011

To win this game I have four keys

Neb must force a few turnovers- like 2 or 3 or more

We must not turn the ball over- max of 2 one will probably happen

We must force MSU fo kick a few field goals when they get to the red zone

The offense must get 120 plus yards rushing with our passing attack

The coaching staff also has to not be a handicap...

Nebraska isn't winning this game.

 

[Bowfin]

Maybe this is a thread that would be more appropriate if and when said win is put in the books.

Still, I would like to see it happen, and then knock off Iowa from the unbeaten ranks as well.

 

[twostep80]

So yeah, this definitely felt like the biggest win in the last 14 years. Still coming down from that high!

Don't be so goddam pessimistic...
