Yea that's pretty much how I see it. I just wish we were always one game above .500 trying to maintain the .500 instead of always one game behind. We still have 5 games left. If we beat Minnesota and Purdue it will tell us we are well positioned and at that point Wisconsin and Iowa will even look beatable. Losing either those first two and all of a sudden even Wisconsin and Iowa look like stretches and we would need to win both of them. It simply is crunch time these next two weeks.
Every game in college football is a must win for some form of stakes. Your argument is irrelevant.
It’s unique because NU is struggling to get to .500 w them. While the schedule lessens some next year, NU is also losing quite a few key players, so next year could be similar.
Indeed so. I think NU has some future pros on its roster. If this exact team were back next year, NU could go 10-2 or better with that schedule. As we know though, that won’t be the case.
Nebraska had a pretty good defense last year that only gave up the number of points they did because of a really bad kicking game and turnovers. The Seniors are Stille (who is pretty good but not an amazing DL), Williams (who is a very good Safety), Dismuke (again a good safety), and Domann (who is a top NFL pick). Our DB coach has a history of success along with our run game. Domann has been so good that we have not been placing a lot of guys on the right side. However, Clements (yes I know he is currently a MLB), and other players can come in and perform well. Our LB core went form being the weakness on our D to possibly a strength in 7 games. No matter what happens, we are not going to go from a great D to a poor D.
True, and good chance they lose two or all three of those. Still, they finish the regular season at say 9-3 in year 2.
I believe that they are all draft eligible. I don’t think most will leave but could potentially leave.
Just fire him and his staff now..why wait?
How is it irrelevant or even an argument. It’s an observation, mixed with some fact, with some educated premonition thrown in for good measure.
That wasn’t the question. You have to read my man.
Along the same lines, the earth may be hit by an asteroid, delaying the next season for a few thousand years. Or perhaps every first team all-American defender that isn't graduating will transfer to NU. These ridiculous hypotheticals don't lend themselves to intelligent discussion. We'll have to wait and see what the roster looks like before the hand-wringing can really start in earnest.
Of course it’s not intelligent discussion it’s a football forum.
