Wow, 9 is low or at it seems low to me. If they end up "9th" in Big Ten I have a feeling that there will be a lot of "who will the new HC at NU be" threads.#9? Really? I dunno. That's seems a bit low to me. Granted, there are a lot of unknowns. But I'd guess closer to 5 or 6.:

Yank.
Neither NW or Minny will beat us this year or finish ahead of us. Take that to the bank.

I don't think they will either, (or you're looking at a house cleaning), but it seems that nobody expects anything from NU this year.Yank.

I really don't get it either. When Riley was hired all we heard was how amazing he was at Oregon State, how he did so much more with so much less.Which is fine with me at this point.I don't think they will either, (or you're looking at a house cleaning), but it seems that nobody expects anything from NU this year.Yank.

Now, that he has so much more as far as talent, staff, support and facilities...those same "writers" seem to be turning on him or have forgotten was they said in the past or clearly did not mean what they said.
He is actually getting less respect now than he did while going 5-7 at OSU.

Yeah, I can see that but the QB is a huge upgrade and so is the DC...
Oh well, who knows! We will see how it all plays out!

We won 9 games last year with a QB that was a horrible fit for the type of offense this staff wants to run and knows how to run well along with a bad DC.I really don't get it either.

Now, we have a multiple QBs in the system that are custom fit for this offense and they have been in the system for over a year......along with what everyone agrees is going to be an upgrade at DC
.......and we are going to do worse?????

Any QB will be an improvement. Loved Tommy, but a QB he was not. Yea he held the title, but the ability to manage a game, was never in either offenses a solid trait.
A lot of questions, but it seems to me, we are making some headway on what we truly have. We were not world beaters with the prior coach, but he did win enough games to be in the golden boy light so to speak. Coach Riley has a very tough job. Brining Nebraska into the light, making a destination possibility for real talent. We are not there, and honestly it will take a better finish than predicted for it to continue to improve.
I bought tickets to the Oregon game, headed to Canada and around the western states the month of September. We will know where we are at that game. Not expecting to win the game, but I am expecting it to be a great game. Nebraska just needs to show it is moving in the right direction, and as much as I like Coach Riley, I think we have to start seeing great improvement overall this year, maybe not in wins or losses, but talent hitting the field, and looking like they know what they are doing.
No one other than Packman on XM/Siris is picking Nebraska to be good. He has them as a dark horse in the Big 10 and the National scene. Sure hope he is right.
