For a first year coach...Sparty looks pretty nasty good.

Put him on short list for prospective future NU head coaches?

 

[West Balcony]

NW appears to be THAT bad. They are getting pasted 30-7 at halftime by a 1-1 Duke team that lost to Charlotte.

Pat Fitzgerald knows how to beat Nebraska. 50/50 game at best. Coaching staff gives the advantage to Northwestern.

Well this thread went south in a hurry...

Shaping up to be a much tougher opponent than we thought a few weeks ago. Sparty should show up with a lot of confidence.

Well this thread went south in a hurry...

Most of them do.

 

[Lavaman]

Sparty appears to be a lot better than we were expecting. Unless Miami and NW are just THAT bad.

Well Miami didn't exactly blow Appalachian St out of the water

 

[Hooked on Huskers]

The Huskers better bounce back quickly. Another road game vs a ranked opponent is coming. schedule is brutal as always. Thanks Big 10.

No doubt crossroad. MSU will be much more important than OU/NU result.

Someone forgot to tell Mel Tucker it takes 5 years to change the culture

Pretty big difference replacing Dantonio and Riley yes?

Thanks Big Ten? Hard to blame the league for this being a tough game. LOL These guys were supposed to patsies this year. Turns out, they didn't buy into it.
I like tough schedules, within reason. There are plenty of teams on our schedule where we should be considered to have a reasonable chance to win. NW, Purdue, Illinois (oops) , Minnesota and even Iowa. We should have a chance at home in that one.

Just win this one for now!

Don't kid yourselves, the B10 loves scheduling fun for the Huskers
DONU's crossovers - @MSU, Michigan, tOSU (all ranked)

Wisky? - PSU, @Rutgers, Michigan
Minny? - tOSU, @IU, Maryland

If NU goes up to East Lansing and wins, is MSU a shell of themselves from the first 3 weeks?

 

[Husker In Oklahoma]

The next game is huge. Can we build off of the OU performance and beat a ranked team on the road? Or do we revert back to lousy play and end up leaving East Lansing 2-3 and 0-2 in conference.

The Defensive effort today, if replicated, is good enough for 4-6 more wins. The Offensive and ST execution today, however, may only be good enough for 1-2 more wins.

Boy, if the offensive effort against OU was so abysmal, what does that say about OU?

Depends on what they do after. If they tank, then yes, if not, they’d be legit.

You're a week ahead of your time.

At 3-1, MSU will be the most overrated 3-1 team in the history of overrated 3-1 teams.

Groucho Marx approves of this message.
