I don't think we get to a bowl game.

Is it too late to get Buffoon-Cookman for the 14th?

Dang thanks bro. I didn't realize that.
Just to confirm, are there only three games played in October? Asking for a friend.

Virginia also has a bye on the 14th. Virginia can’t run the ball, can’t stop the run, and is 0-5 as a result

The key thing, Huskers at Michigan State, November 4. And Terps .... more powerful than I initially thought. Probably Mike Locksley will award Coach of the Year.

Just one nitpicky thing here I take a little issue with. We’re used to blaming bad results on the Huskers getting in their own way. For sure that is the way it has been in prior seasons but I have yet to see that being the issue this year….maybe the stupid play call of a QB sneak from the shotgun, with no push from behind against Michigan could be labeled getting in our own way but that’s about it. The games we have lost this season is almost entirely attributable to not having any of the needed pieces on the O side of the ball. Not getting in our own way with stupid and ill timed penalties and overly poor coaching choices hasn’t been the issue. Somehow, for me anyway, losing because we just don’t have good enough QB, WRs and OL seems to be more palatable than pissing away games on stupid things. Like I said, nitpicky….
TBF, I can see how the turnovers in our first two losses could be considered getting in our own way. But I look at it as hey, we had a turnover machine playing QB, of course there were going to be turnovers. Not really unexpected or fringe occurrences.

Yes, Rhule may have to pull a Deion in this era of NIL and transfers. I hope the NIL money people have a lot of cash bags ready.

He does have a recruiting class that might reach 30 with only 9 scholarship seniors. Between last year and this upcoming season, Rhule is essentially going to do the same thing as coach Prime, just in two years instead of one. Presumably, they genuinely thought the team had a chance at making a bowl game, mostly because the schedule and the entirety of the B1G West is an embarrassment to P5 football.
If Nebraska is able to go 3-1 in the next 4 games to beat last seasons win total, it will go a long way in helping Rhule build the culture he wants. If they go lose Friday night, especially if it's a blowout, things will get ugly fast.

Maryland is a big case of 'look at who they've played'. Virginia is winless, Michigan State fired their HC, and Indiana just fired their OC, and might fire their HC at the end of the season. They play Ohio State next, and, well...

True but win is a win. 5W-0L. Made #26 both Coaches poll & AP. Massey Composite, #23 ...... Huskers, #82.
Last year bowl, Turtles beat N.Carolina St. Wolfpack ..... key Terps players, return including QB Tau
