HUSKERS PICK OFF MICHIGAN STATE

By week 11, Nebraska’s offense should have all of the rhythm and answers it needs. And Scott Frost is sure to have one or two surprises left as the Huskers are likely playing for a bowl game at this point in the year. Michigan State heads to a hostile Nebraska one week after going to war with Ohio State for what should be a decisive game in terms of Big Ten title implications. Don’t be surprised if Greg Bell pops a few big runs and Nebraska’s front seven gets in the head of Brian Lewerke. This is signature win No. 1 for Frost at his alma mater.

STANLEY MORGAN REWRITES HUSKER HISTORY BOOKS

Stanley Morgan knocked out two of the long-standing Johnny Rodgers records last season thanks to a Nebraska best 986 yards on the year and five 100-yard performances. Morgan should break his own receiving record, and become the first Husker with 1,000 yards on the year. On top of that, we predict Johnny Rodgers’ 46-year receiving touchdown record falls as well as his 37-straight games with a reception. Morgan needs 11 touchdowns and a catch in every regular-season game to break both records.

Those are not bold at all.  They are things that could, and probably will, actually happen.  A bold prediction would be that we win the MNC with a true freshman QB, and a brand new scheme on both sides of the ball.

 
Am I the only one who is disappointed that maybe our most prolific WR ever seems to have been wasted due to 3 years of HCMR's inept system. Imagine what he could do with another couple years in Frost's offense. He'll never get the chance to play in the offense when it really gets humming

It'll be interesting to see how close it gets to humming. We've talked quite a bit on many reasons this offense is ahead of a first year install, but one group that I think will help is the offensive line. I think this can be a good offensive line. It's experienced and for a stretch last year played well. With the new staff, new calling system, etcetera, I think we can replicate that good stretch this year.

Luckily we have younger guys on the roster that have an opportunity to be more prolific than Stan and will get a nearly full career with Frost and Co.

 
I think it's bold.  Depends how you read it.  Morgan scoring 11 touchdowns in each game is a stretch, but I see it happening.
