I don't think the body of work was luck.
However, I do believe the last two years could have been 9 wins or a train wreck. If that's what some call luck, then so be it.
Was Bo just lucky last year?

Getting to 10 wins means you gotta get 9...I would rather take more wins.
Just face the fact: You can't justify the need to want greatness. Expectations say that this football team should win 10 game a year and win bowl games and play for NC's.
Everything that has taken Big Red football to this point is the "want to be relevant" The need to play meaningful November and December games, to match up in a mother of all bowl game against another great.
Husker fans feel like the football nation has kicked them to the curb for good, and that frat house is closing down for all time sake.
Is this payback for so many years of greatness? Is this why Alabama got fed up and hired Saban, and loaded his bank account with blank recruiting checks?
I would like to see the Ol'Nebraska glory ride high once again. It might be back someday. It might not. Tom Osborne retired because the game was changing. The odds were starting to stack up against Nebraska. He could see that the Big 12 was going to catch up to Nebraska. OU and Texas were going to be key factors in winning and recruiting. I guess its time for Nebraska to either buck in and pay the pied piper and get better quickly or keep thinking that were relevent in a day when that was gone in 1997, when a legend retired and promoted Solich as the next gatekeeper. That was when this job would have drawn the best of the best in coaching hires. Don't forget, all the greatness that was Dr Tom, he in some ways also left that door wide open for mediocrity to creep in.

Some luck, not all luck. IMO, he would still be here without his on field and off field antics that made the players dislike fans. Think Bo has potential, and could have done great things here if he was willing to change a few coordinators and recruit better. Oh, and he wasn't a fan of adjustments most games.
I like MR as a person, and believe he can do well here, give time. It is possible I am wrong, but as of now, I'll support him and the Huskers.

So we've clearly improved our pass defense, penalties and 2nd half adjustments........

I didn't expect to lose three games in the manners we did, for sure. It's been disappointing.

By those standards, when was the last time when we were actually cool? Because watching a flat, poorly coached Husker football team has been a thing for more than just the last 5 games...
And we're equally unlucky not to be 5-0, since you're looking at it that way.
I'm not excusing two incredibly uninspiring performances against Southern Miss and Illinois, but if your statement is true, mine's equally true.

Worst start since 1959 without playing a single ranked opponent. That is a lot of years of comparison in my opinion.
