Hail Caesar !
I know pal...I'm the Babe Ruth of cleverness in hereKnocking it out of the park, Chippah!
I'm more in the camp that if we only win 5 this year SF should flat out be packing his bags. No real improvement in year 4 (yes, I know there was a COVID year) shouldn't get you an open invitation for a 5th year. Something isn't clicking right, 4 years is enough to figure it out. It's not like we're playing top 10 teams week in and week out - we've lost some real head scratchers. And I completely agree with the team needing to play smarter, harder and be tougher. All that starts with coaching.In the big scheme of things, completely agree.
In the context of where we've been, I think 6 is the absolute bare minimum for SF. It means extra practices and a bowl. Perhaps then get to 7 wins. The narrative begins to change.
If we only win 5 games this year, SF will truly be feeling some heat, and deservedly so. His team needs to play smarter, and harder. Be tougher.
They’ll need to carry the team.CTB, JoJo, Deontai, et al didn't come back to win 6 games.
68 days and we can put an end to this silly talk.
I heard the bus driver is in the portalThey’ll need to carry the team.
No returning WR, no returning RB, poor/inconsistent QB and O line, poor fundamentals, poor second half adjustments… The D is going to have to be huge this year for us to get to 6 wins.
I’m mildly confident in the D to get us there until I look at our offense. I’m really hoping the D comes up big and we can get to 6 wins.
That isn't how this works. The wins number is adjusted to get essentially equal amounts of money on the "over" and the "under." Vegas doesn't really want to take a position, they just want their 10% or so cut, the vigorish, aka "the vig."What the line tells me is that Vegas knows we're going to get to 5. They didn't build a city in the middle of the desert off of losing.
That's definitely how Vegas usually works. I'm not sure these "lines" fluctuate much so they really need to get it right. In the past it's amazed me how well they've done on these early predictions.That isn't how this works.

I find very little meat in your response.That's definitely how Vegan usually works. I'm not sure these "lines" fluctuate much so they really need to get it right. In the past it's amazed me how well they've done on these early predictions.
I'm not an AM hater and think he has very real upside IF Toure and Manning play a full season.
I'm aware. My point is that the total is high enough that Vegas knows smart people are going to bet the unders and Husker fans will always go on the over.That isn't how this works.

As a dumb 'Husker fan I guess I have to stick to monosill... monosyllllaaaa...monosylobbic... short words in the future.I'm aware. My point is that the total is high enough that Vegas knows smart people are going to bet the unders and Husker fans will always go on the over.
& the grave digger is licking his chops too!I heard the bus driver is in the portal
Oliver Martin is back abd looks to be improving. Manning and Toure are nothing but potential at this point but I feel better about them than I did our starters last season. I knew before the season started last year we where in trouble at wide receiver. I kept reading how Warner could be our best guy last spring. Of course that was also because Manning couldn’t play. Running back I don’t understand why we don’t have someone errant there.They’ll need to carry the team.
