-Nebraska will play in the BIG10 title game at least twice.
-We will have beat Iowa 4 out of 5 years.

I think this will eventually have to be the case. If not, at the very least he is going to have to have top level assistants who he can trust to run their positions/ game plans 100% on their own and do it well. Right now we don't have those type of assistants not all of them anyways.

KF will retire, and iowa will go on about its 8 win glory days. Michigan, the state, bans wearing khakis and finally get rid of hairball. Minny springs a leak,loses a fleck and hires new coach davy jones.
BA retires, wiscy crashes much faster than we did, with little hope of ever getting back to where they were.

Hoieberg not only brings Nebraska it’s first NCAA Basketball win, but puts Nebraska in the Sweet 16.

Nebraska wins it’s first conference title since 1999 and goes to the Rose Bowl..

OP, you wanted realistic and not fantasy? and ppl are already saying playoffs & national champs.. smh.

I think the US dollar, if not collapsed, will be worth 1/16 of what it is today due to inflation. There will be massive unemployment due to robotics eliminating jobs and possibly a universal basic income.

Nebraska will still be struggling to win 9 games, but Scott will have finally abandoned his Oregon offense and will be in year 2 of switching to what used to work here and finally succeeding in a division title.

So Nebraska is going back to option?

in another 4 years they will go back to being a predominantly running team. (my speculation)
"Stop. My penis can only get so erect"


I agree with you. But, I'll change your timeline. 2 years if Frost's offense doesn't absolutely take off.

in 2019, only 19 teams in all of college football ran the ball on a higher percentage of plays than Nebraska (60.61%).

people really do only see what they want to see. it's amazing.
You know what I meant. When this scheme continues to not work on both sides of the ball, he has one last card he can pull, to remain the coach, and that is to change back to what used to work. Offensively and Defensively. It might not be exact, but you can see Wisconsin has their version of it, that has been working for years, ours will be different, but it's all sort of the same thing.

is 60.61% not predominant enough when it comes to running the ball?

wisconsin ran it 62.09%, for comparison's sake. a whopping 1.5% more.

perhaps you'd just like to see the quarterback under center again? is that what you meant?

Moos will retire

Scott Frost will be fired by the new AD.

We will continue sputtering our wheels and win about as many as we lose. Maybe make one or 2 bowl games.

I think there'll be massive hirings for people building robots and obtaining the materials for them, and to maintain them. I think the government quits spending and inflation is severly curbed. I think iowa gets so bad, they're refered to as the cauceyes, where they arrive to the games late,and have no clock,or other,management.

it has nothing to do with running percentage.. it's a different scheme.. it's not hurry up, and not attacking defense garbage. Since you're just throwing up a stat, it tells me and everyone else that you really don't understand the difference at all.

idk about defensively, but offensively the man literally has Osborne's play book at his disposal so if he chooses to, so if Frost chooses to then he literally can make it the same offense. In which case, Adrian gaining weight would be a really good thing.

-By February 2025, we still won't have anyone better than Scott who will want to run this program and live in Lincoln, Nebraska (IMHO)

-Frost will have 1 West Title, maybe 2; not sure about the year(s)

-Hoiberg will get our first NCAA tournament win in one of the next 5 years

-Iowa will still suck

We’re not going back to the 90’s...

We get the athletes in this offense and have a adequate QB, this offense can be similar to the KC Chiefs...

what I don't understand is what you're trying to say. at all.

'predominantly running' has nothing to do with the percent of the time they run the ball? are you talking about controlling the clock, then?

I do think Adrain is a better runner than passer, but not sure he has the internal grit to take or give out hits. He's a finesse guy in my opinion.

The big thing with Scott is the Oregon offense and attacking defensive schemes sort of go together. They are both quick strike, get the ball back and do it again.

Our our old Offense was built around marching down the field, eating up clock. And the defense was built around making the other team do the same.

Complete opposite of what we are doing now.

This is why had they been able to play a more normal defensive scheme last year, we could have won more games, but for whatever reason, they continued to play attacking defense when our offense wasn't able to do the quick strike thing.

okay, so a predominantly ball control offense. not predominantly running, as previously stated. no wonder I had no clue what you were talking about.

thanks for clearing this up.

you have to go up further..
"Scott will have finally abandoned his Oregon offense and will be in year 2 of switching to what used to work here and finally succeeding in a division title."

then someone else tried to bait me into saying we were going back to option football, so that is why I said more of a predominate running game. I probably should have clarified it right there, but it doesn't matter, you just saw a way to twist it into something it wasn't and wanted to attack it.
not twisting anything, just wanting to understand your point. ball control offense. not too hard.

I do enjoy how you and Coach Frost are on a first-name basis, though.

Ahh yes. Another realistic take.

Depends on which defense you’re talking about. If you think the McBride defense was about making the other team eat up the clock, you’re dead wrong. That 90s defense was aggressive as all get out.

The 60% running was more of a indictment on the WR corps and the ability of the QB to throw the ball the way Frost wants to throw.

As I have pointed out countless times, Frost most successful team ran the ball at about a 55-57% clip.

It's certainly more realistic than national champs or playoffs talk.

Osborne recruited speed, he didn't change to an overly aggressive defensive scheme who's sole purpose is to get the ball back. That defense wasn't even invented yet.

Those sideline passes that everyone hates are generally considered as running plays too, but they don't show up in the stats as that, so those percentages don't tell the story and don't matter.

I need to see what happens in 2020 but I'll say this, I don't think it's a coincidence that we saw the option and more stuff under center in 2019. That's part of who Frost is whether he went to Oregon or not, smash mouth old school Husker Power football. To be continued but I do think the old playbook gets the dust knocked off of it in the coming years

Nebraska will be in the Western Athletic Conference after a conference vote involving Big Ten Presidents and ADs.

Best of luck with the volleyball season.
