I think we could possibly get to six wins. I think we could start out 5-0, but then go 1-6 after that, with our only win being Rutgers. And some of those losses are going to be very ugly, And this is best case thinking. When has that panned out for us in the past 10 years. We always seem to lose a game to a team we should not lose to. I could see us losing to Maryland. That would put us at 5-7.
We will have a very average defensive line. Very average running backs. Very average QB. Hopefully the offensive line will improve but there is no guarantee there.
So Matt Rhule needs to shut up about folks pointing out that we have a ton of teams on our schedule this year that we will most likely not beat. He has not beaten them to this point so why will he beat the better teams this year?
And here is an idea Mr. Rhule: maybe this year you can field a coaching staff you don't end up firing and/or losing at the end of the year. That is another source of fan pessimism about our chances for this year. The coaching turnover screams out incompetence on the front end.

The question as fans is...what is more entertaining? 5 wins over bad teams and a continuation of the scam or 2-3 wins, a complete implosion of the program and a riot of the fans against lizard lips. No matter what people say, this is an entertainment business...everybody is/can get paid as entertainers, these aren't public servants or soldiers, they are entertainers...5 wins and a "jeez, we'll get em next time" just isn't very entertaining.

This is obscene for a team that will be lucky to win 5 games. Another reason Rhule should feel all the pressure in the world.

So Matt Rhule said the other day that he is tired of hearing about how tough our schedule is this year. I think he understands the reason why so many fans are looking at our schedule with fear. He knows that the fans have no confidence in this staff, have very low expectations for this year’s team, and are generally very cynical about the state of the program. And I think therefore the constant chatter from fans about our schedule being brutal has gotten under his oily skin.
He should just STFU. The fans have damn good reasons for being cynical and pessimistic. Any objective examination of the past three years would conclude that we still can’t beat the teams in the top 8 or 9 in the B1G. We can beat Rutgers and Maryland and MSU and Purdue. But not really anybody else.
Rhule’s criticism of the pessimism surrounding complaints about our schedule is getting him close to being the kind of failed coach who knows he is in hot water and who starts to blame the fans.
I expect as our season implodes we will see more of that.

Yep. The writing is on the wall. At this point we only have Dannen to thank for keeping a loser coach employed for who knows how long at this point.

Raiola was undoubtedly the most talent thrower of the football, maybe ever, at Nebraska.

There is going to be, and already has been, a lot of revisionism about his time here.

It's easy to say he punked out, or blame the Dad, but what father wouldn't tell their kid to get off a sinking ship?

Let's be honest here. The only reason the Railoa's pulled out is because Uncle was an awful O-line coach that got canned. That made them butt-hurt.

But but what if Nebraska won 10 games and Penn state wanted to hire Rhule even though they just fired a coach with a far better resume than Rhule????

JFC we’re paying a S & C coach 1 MILLION DOLLARS a year and we look like a HS team….in Texas, though, so at least we have that going for us 😆

Nothing screams your S & C program is trash like seeing dudes 6' 8" and 320 lbs get tossed around like a sack of spuds weekly, and seeing the Gophers sack the QB nine times when they did not ever manage to get two in ANY game prior. But I am sure at some point, maybe, they will look at that issue. In between podcasts and TV interviews. Or maybe that is an issue to big for them to tackle. IDK......

As much as I love the hypothetical, I think we still lose to USC no matter what.

You got the sense Lincoln Riley (who has never lost to Rhule btw) was essentially playing with his food most of that game. When they wanted to move the ball, they did. Quite easily

I didn't get that feeling at all. I think we win if Dylan isn't hurt. Again all hypothetical.

Anything over 6 would be gravy. 6 is where I’m at.

I'm "predicting" 5-7 right now. I think they lose to either Maryland or MSU. 6 is the high for me. Only thing I'm hopeful is that we finally have an OL coach . Loved what I seen from the movement of our guys pulling. Also like the fact that the QB can run. Hopefully he doesn't turn it over so much that it offsets his positives.

The run was there so many times for Raiola last fall. Instead he would hold the ball too long, take sacks, or throw it away. Gimme 3 yards if you’re slow but for heaven’s sake don’t take a sack.

LOVE our QB mobility now. QB run game should help
