Bold Season Predictions

[leodisflowers]

I've got a few:

1. We are minimum +5 in the turnover game. I feel like this D is going to get us some turnovers, and I think it is going to come from the opposite corner as CTB is going to get some respect.
2. We will have a 1000 yard back again
3. We are going to average 35+ points a game as long as Adrian is healthy

 

[BleedRed78]

1000 yard rusher or at least two over 500, NOT including AM. Although he'll likely have that much too.

Defense top 25 unit.

Heinrich Haarberg finishes runner-up in the Heisman vote.

Runner-up to Omar Manning.

Lots of optimism and kool aid drinking. The team is vastly unproven. WRs RBs and Oline are all question marks. On paper yeah they look great, but how will they perform against competition in BIG? Makes me nervous. My bold prediction- Frost loses Illinois and only wins 2-3 games this year. Complete disaster. Hope I’m wrong just don’t see what everyone else is seeing with this team.

I don’t see it going that poorly but I do agree that we’re jumping the gun on the RB, WR, and TE praise. I think most people are reasonably skeptical of the OL though.

Definitely reasons to be hopeful about RB and WR. Especially WR, there’s a lot of talent in that room. And tbh, RB is a position that really just doesn’t matter all that much. OL is far more important to a successful running game.

11-1 lose to OSU. rematch in big10 championship. Win that and the playoff for a natty championship. GBR

 

[whatwouldlawrencephillipsdo]

nebraska beats ohio state

 

[KingBlackshirt]

3 bold ones
CTB is a first team big 10 and 2nd team All American
Adrian fumbles 3 times all year, passes for 2k yards and runs for 500
Cam J has zero bad snaps

This season will be the single greatest resurrection story in the annals of college football coaching. He's going to hit eight wins and Trev is going to up his contract to 10 million a year.

Bold predictions = Koolaid - No one knows what this team looks like, I'd just rather talk football than politics.

Looks like to have a new spanking troll amount us today..

I guess one winning season was worth $5 million/yr, so two is worth $10 million/yr.

I understand these are bold predictions, but what in the world makes you think that?

We haven't been that terrible (2-3 wins) recently and this team has MUCH more talent and experience than the past several years. Teams that we barely lost to last year like NW and Iowa lost a lot more than we did. Illinois and Buffalo have new coaching staffs. Where does this nightmare scenario come from?

Every action (in this case kool aid chugging) has an equal and opposite reaction (maybe we will stink)

we definitely have more experience. the talent, though, is entirely on paper. we will see how (or even if, in manning's case) it shows up on the field.

Unproven talent. No one has seen Manning play. Unproven freshman at RB and an injury risk at RB. Toure never played a snap against D1 level defenses. Betts had one good/great play last year and then disappeared! No QB depth. I’m hopeful they have a great season, but don’t think they will. Just seems like a lot of hype to me. I love the Huskers but am taking a wait and see approach.

 

[vic.valiant]

I was supposed to dream big.

Go Blue!

I'm also a Michigan grad, but I think we kick their butt, Harbaugh's has got to go.

A beat down like Dr. Anderson gave meat-chicken athletes?

I've never wanted somebody to be so right in my life!

 

[HominidHusker]

Wyatt Liewer leads team in TD catches with 8,
Adrian Martinez throws more than 18 TDs, less than 5 INTs, and less than 3 fumbles.

Our scoring and ypg defense finishes in the top 4 of the B1G.
Defense scores 3 TDs.

Connor Culp hits 2 FGs over 50yds.
We give up 0 special teams TDs while running back 2 punts and 2 kickoffs.

…. and we beat Oklahoma, Wisky and Iowa.

…. and we finish the 2022 recruit class with majority 4 stars.

The Big Ten West title is decided in Lincoln on Black Friday.

 

[maplesyrup95]

2021 Nebraska goes 8-5.

I don’t know if that’s a bowl win or bowl loss. And I honestly believe we will upset one of the three - OU, OSU, or Wisconsin. It won’t feel like an upset because this team can compete with anyone (except Alabama and Georgia) if we don’t commit stupid turnovers.

I also think we will win more close games than lose close games. And because of the attention to fundamentals this offseason (finally), I think we can compete for the West this year. Adrian (or the backup QB) has to have a good season for us to get to 8 wins, though. If we can keep our yappers shut and go to work like Wisconsin, I think we win 8 games this year. I’ll come collect my crow if I’m wrong, but we don’t start with Ohio State for the first game this year!

GBR!!

Unfortunately looks like you were right. I never imagined we would be so bad.

Sorry brother, definitely wanted to be wrong. Looks like this is going to turn into a complete makeover. Frost is gone in my opinion
