Game week is upon us and I’m hoping to start this thread to be records only. No insults, no explanation, no garbage. Record only and we can come back at the end of the season to see how our takes shook out!

I'm going off the top of my head so my schedule might be out of order, Sparty, Illinois, Iowa toss ups so could be 6-6 if you go 2-1 in those games.

How is playing Iowa, in Kinnick, a “toss up” for Nebraska?

How is playing Iowa, in Kinnick, a “toss up” for Nebraska?
Iowa's average age of 20.16 years has them ranked No. 98 in America out of 138 teams in the FBS.

Returning snaps
74. Iowa 39%| overall | 46% (51) offense | 33% (95) defense |

Your smelly Hawks are young and inexperienced this year, I'm still marking it as a win for the racists atm but if any year would be a good year to beat them it's this year.

Not to mention Gronowski isn’t coming back under center either.

6-6... six layups for a team with our payroll both coaches and players in year four for their coach. Michigan State will decide the season. If it is ugly like against Minnesota last year, the wheels could come off and then beating Rutgers later becomes more difficult. So 4 or 5 wins is very possible, 7 wins very unlikely. We will know pretty early in the Ohio game if we can stop the run, get some push, have a consistent run game, protect Colandrea, and convert in the red zone and short yardage, and manage field position via good special teams.

If we are resorting to a bunch of qb run, roll-outs, missing field goals, not scoring inside the 10, struggling on returning punts, defending kicks, Colandrea is running for his life but surviving...it will be a long year.
