Cincinatti was a very good team at the end of the year. Yes, they're an AAC team, but they would have beaten a lot of B1G teams, too. We have no right to badmouth Purdue until we've beaten them a few times in a row. SDSU is that annoying type of FCS team that everybody expects you to whallop, but they can beat good FBS teams. They should have beat Minnesota last year, and they should have beat TCU a few years back. Both of those teams were much better than we were last year. Central Michigan is a good MAC team. Again, it's a no-win situation as everyone expects us to win, and probably win big, but they're good enough to beat us.
I'm tired of our fans acting like we just show up with our uniforms, and it's a win. Those days have been over for awhile.
We were so good for so long....and it’s hard for us old guys to get our brains around the fact that those days are long gone. We’re kind of stuck on who we were and blind to who we are.
Who are we? Right now Nebraska is program with a lot of resources that is underachieving in a tough league. We need to capture a few breaks and find some consistency in order to turn the corner and become a good team. Finding a way to win games against Purdue would be a good start.
