They were better than their record, they played a tough schedule like us and lost by one to lsu who was pretty good that year. That year was much more bearable to me compared to this disaster.Tell me again why that was a solid Ole Miss team? I believe they were 6-6 going into the bowl game. That ISU team wasn't as good as people make them out to be. The Penn State game was equally as bad as the Tech game this year. They only got 40 because they were running the ball. Remeber that team played Five non-conference games that year? Utah St., Troy St., and McNeese St. That is 3 wins vs teams that were D-IAA or had just turned D-1. Okie St was 2-4 when the Huskers played them. How cares anyway. That year sucked this year has been a struggle. Bring on the Freakin Buffs.Are you saying this year isn't worse than that? Gosh it is for me. We are 5-5 right now and chances are will be 5-6 but possibly could go 6-6. We have played one rated team and didn't even get close to them. We have lost by 60 to a non rated team. WE have lost to teams such as southern miss and a below average Iowa STate.Try 2 years. Does 7-7 ring a bell?We have the worst record we have had in many many years.
In the 7-7 year we lost to 5 rated teams including, the number 5 rated texas team by 3 pts. We also lost to ole miss in the bowl game who was solid with eli manning and okie state who had woods,bell, and fields by 3.
If this team would have played that schedule the probably would of went something like 4-10 or possibly 5-9 at best.
Why do you continue to defend that team? That team didn't play good football for most of the season. This team hasn't played good football for most of the season. Leave it at that, but don't say that Nebraska hasn't been this bad for a long time when it happened just 2 years ago.
