Neb record vs BIG10

[Ewooc]

Was looking to see what our record was vs other BIG10 teams since we joined the league:

VS Ohio St 1-4
VS Wisc 1-6
VS Iowa 3-5
VS Mich 2-2
VS NW 4-4
VS Penn 3-1
VS Mich St 4-2
VS Illinois 5-1
VS Purdue 4-2
VS Min 5-3
VS Indiana 1-0
VS Mary 1-0
Obviously Ohio St and Wisc have dominated us. Other than those 2 teams we have held our own despite what others..... (Iowa fans) want to believe. We don't need to get into the Iowa record. Iowa knows why they lead the series.

In comparison here is our buddies to the East record during that same time frame

VS Ohio St 1-1
VS Wisc 1-5
VS Mich 3-1
VS NW 4-4
VS Penn 0-4
VS Mich St 1-4
VS Illinois 5-0
VS Purdue 5-3
VS Min 6-2
VS Indiana 4-1
VS Mary 2-1

Very very similar except apparently the league decided we should get Ohio St for cross over games and Iowa should get Indiana and Maryland

That’s been one of my biggest complaints, how one team gets the shaft schedule wise and the other always seems to get these weak cream puff type schedules. Like most will agree, I’d rather play some tougher teams but it would be nice to even these schedules out a.m little more.

And you know I agree on the Iowa view ...Iowa went on their run once Mike Riley stepped on campus. Bo Pelini had Iowa and Ferentz number...the one win they had on Bo came when Tommy Armstrong was hurt and didn’t play in the game and we had a walk on playing....had Tommy played...Bo would have been 4-0 against Iowa. They don’t like to admit and WONT but Mike Riley was Iowa’s best player against our Huskers, period.

While I agree with the overall point of your post that some might find it surprising how well we have done against all but three teams, and that Iowa took advantage of mike riley, I disagree with the shots at Iowa as a whole.
If Iowa sucks so bad, then its time to beat them. Im tired of our fans' obsession with Iowa. Their fans are idiots, who cares? Dont feed the trolls. People dont want to admit it but Iowa is clearly in the heads of many posters on this forum. Why?
Beating Iowa this year is a good start. But its going to be tough. Their O and D lines are legit. Probably the best in the big 10 as a whole.

And yes, Iowa gets cupcakes. Because iowa. We should want to play OSU, Michigan, etc....althougn I will admit last years gauntlet was a little extreme.

Agreed there, I blew up on one the other day while being a little lit. Bad combo lol. And I agree and disagree on the Iowa statement...the past 4 years...both the Husker and Iowa have sucked. Neither one has done a dam thing. At least we got Frost and making strides. I don’t expect 10 win season this year but I do expect a nice 7-8 win season...with 9 being very realistic.

And I agree, we need to ignore the Iowa trolls....it’s Wisconsin we need to be more worried about. They are the team that has literally owned us since we joined the BIG10. We HAVE to get over that hump.

Iowa returns like two starting Ol. How do you know they are going to be "legit"?

One of their fans should be along here shortly to inform you.
Dont let their recruiting overall rankings fool uou, they have some stockpiled talent there.

 

[huskerssalts]

I made that point the other day. They lose 3 oline men and the whole starting Dline (I know AJ will help the Dline not sting as bad but he can’t play all 4 spots). Everyone just ASSUMES they will just bring the next guy up and not miss a beat...I call BS. You don’t lose all that, plus your top 3-4 receiving threats, both safeties that lead the team in tackles, and their top 4 leading tacklers. You don’t lose all that and not miss a beat. Just doesn’t happen.

Trying to brag by comparing ourselves to Iowa is just embarrassing. In the Big 8 and Big 12 days we dominated everyone except the top couple teams, and even then the series was close to even with those teams. Having an even series record against average Big 10 teams isn't cause for bragging rights. I really don't give a **** about the rest of the Big 10. Division "championships", heck even conference championships don't mean too much to me. I care about where we fit on the national stage.

For teams like Clemson and Alabama. Yes they have backups just as good (similar to Neb back in the day) Iowa does not. Im sure they will still be decent, the always are. To think they won't miss a beat and it won't effect them is crazy.

I was bragging? lol Ok, Simply pointing out we were not as horrific as some on here and other fan bases would like us to believe. By no means am I saying Im proud of what has transpired since joining the BIG. If we want to be legit we have to be able to beat teams like Wisc and Ohio ST. Im saying all things considered, especially the last 2-4 years, we have made it at least somewhat respectable.
The only reason I used Iowa is because they are the one yelling the loudest at how pathetic we have been since joining the BIG10.

 

[Ewooc]

You just invited a whole flock of turds over here. Are you really that bored?

and yes, yes I am. Im not afraid of anything Iowa related. My goal wasn't to bring turds over. If that was my goal I would have put Iowa in the title. If they come so be it I guess.

I agree 100% it is time to put up or shut up. If they end up beating us this year. I will admit they are a better team. That Mike Riley was not the ONLY reason they were able to beat us. Until then, I firmly believe Mike Riley was the only reason they were able to compete with us.

So by this standard, not winning the big ten or even our division, but finishing in the top 10-15 with >10 wins is a good season, right?

If you care about the national stage you have to care about the B1G Division championships and B1G conference championships...

Your logic doesn’t make sense because you can’t have one without the other...

If DPE doesn't go crazy with Iowa leading 24-7 late 3rd quarter in the 2014 overtime game Bo would of been 2-2 vs Iowa.

Correction: Iowa is 0-5 against Penn St

The other thing that stands out is Iowa has played Indiana and Maryland a combined 8 times compared to Nebraska twice...
Yes, I realize we play them both this year but this is the first Visit Indiana has made since we joined in 2011.

All good points so I’ll debate with ya. No one thought Iowa could replace Desmond King, then Josh Jackson happened. No one thought the defense could be good last year because they had lost all three starting LBs, plus Jackson who SHOULD have been the Thorpe winner. But they didn’t skip a beat.

Recruiting in the secondary has been very very good. Amani Hookers replacement has started at CB and had 3 INTs last year. The FS spot will be upgraded this year with Geno Stone finally taking over for Gervase. There are articles predicting that he could have the type of year needed to be the next Junior DB to leave early from Iowa.

The three opening day starting LBs are back. Jack Hockaday led the LBs with tackles and played pretty well with lots of injuries to that group. Unproven guys behind them.

As I stated the other day, the DL first four will be very good. Both DE’s will be drafted. Lattimore started DT I think it was 2017 but he was still young so they slid Matt Nelson in from DE. He has 3.5 career sacks. The big wild card will be Nixon, who had an offer from Alabama coming out of IWCC. Behind those guys are a couple highly recruited kids that haven’t seen game action yet so who knows there.

Overall I don’t know that there will be much of a drop off on the defense as a whole. Not with Phil Parker at the helm.

He wasn’t the first one in this thread to play the “what if” game.

I will say this, however, about Pelini “owning” Kirk. Pelini beat Iowa teams that won 7, 4, and 7 games. The 4 wins team he won by 6. One was in OT and the other was by 13. All three of those Iowa teams went on to get blasted in bowl games. Greg Davis was the common denominator and no Iowa fan hated seeing him go.

That’s all in the past though. Iowa recruiting has been pretty damn good the past few years everywhere other than receiver so I think if Frost wins, it’s going to be against better Iowa teams than Pelini barely beat.

The thing Iowa has, and TO had, and really any program that can achieve longevity in a HC. The program as a whole becomes very good and being consistent. A system gets put into place and it becomes an automatic machine. From how they recruit, to who they recruit, to schemes, to weight room, to player development. This all starts from the moment a player steps on campus freshman year. Everyone is on the same page. This automatic system is what Frost wants to accomplish as well.
In Iowas case, they have become very very good at Ferenz system. Usually that means they are able to fill spots pretty easily without falling off too much. Unfortunately for Iowa, Ferenz system is also very good at only being able to get 7,8, and 9 wins. Not a knock just reality of the situation. Having a system in place is great in some way, but bad if that system can't get over the hump of mediocrity.
So long story short, Iowa may take a slight step back this year. Probably nothing too drastic. Either way Im guessing the results will end up very similar as the last 20 years. That has been ok, but now other teams in the West are starting quickly catch up. Those 7-9 wins are going to be harder and harder to get.

Bro I don’t need to hear your BIAS opinion. Again, you don’t lose that production and not skip a beat. Sorry, but your next guys up won’t be as good as those guys last year. AJ will be, but the rest will be...at minimum...a notch worse. Your guys offense is about to be in VERY BAD shape. You don’t lose two first round TEs and your number 1 WR, that where HUGE in offense production and just replace them...then to add in three oline in the middle?? Yep, the offense is about to get worse.

Defense will be solid, but it won’t be anywhere near last years defense....and the Husker in year one still put 400 yards or more on that defense. This year is about to get ugly, period. I know you guys have high hopes in the back ups (hey sounds like us Huskers that you guys dog on for thinking the same way, imagine that...hmmm) and just being as good, but more then likely won’t happen.

Losing A , Nelson, Hooker, Hesse, Gervase, Hockaday, Ojemudia, the two DTs and M Nelson is going to hurt and I know I’m missing a guy (think LB), it would anyone. You just don’t lose that talent on defense and not miss a beat. The guys Iowa loses is worse then what the Huskers lost

It usually is. It’s because it’s assumptions, nothing more and nothing less. They/he just HOPE. And on top of it, most of them refuse to give Huskers credit and forget Mike Riley is gone, it’s Scott Frost. Huskers will improve. Frost is a great in player development.

One thing most keep forgetting when they mention Huskers lose Stan Morgan Jr...true but we also gained Kanawai Poa that transferred in from Cal and he’s 6’1 195 pounds, immediately eligible and he had 56 rc for 790 yard and 4 TDs his sophomore year and had 30 rc and 400 yards in 8 games last season (he got hurt last year). He will more then give us another FAST weapon and JD Spielman should easily replace Stan Morgan Jr. WRs are fine, we even have own version of R Moore from Purdue in WanDale Robinson (guy who was pretty much a 5 star). Huskers are loaded at WR.

Bro I don’t need to hear your BIAS opinion. Again, you don’t lose that production and not skip a beat. Sorry, but your next guys up won’t be as good as those guys last year. AJ will be, but the rest will be...at minimum...a notch worse. Your guys offense is about to be in VERY BAD shape. You don’t lose two first round TEs and your number 1 WR, that where HUGE in offense production and just replace them...then to add in three oline in the middle?? Yep, the offense is about to get worse.

Defense will be solid, but it won’t be anywhere near last years defense....and the Husker in year one still put 400 yards or more on that defense. This year is about to get ugly, period. I know you guys have high hopes in the back ups (hey sounds like us Huskers that you guys dog on for thinking the same way, imagine that...hmmm) and just being as good, but more then likely won’t happen.

Losing A , Nelson, Hooker, Hesse, Gervase, Hockaday, Ojemudia, the two DTs and M Nelson is going to hurt and I know I’m missing a guy (think LB), it would anyone. You just don’t lose that talent on defense and not miss a beat. The guys Iowa loses is worse then what the Huskers lost

I literally just gave you examples of how losing guys hasn’t necessarily led to a downgraded defense. Either you half *** your homework or are confusing players. Ojemudia hasn’t left and is the leader to replace Hooker. Matt Nelson was one of the starting DTs that left. I wasn’t being confrontational at all by having the discussion but when you say I have a bias and you don’t figure your own bias into it, you kind of lose credibility.

If you’re gonna post in every thread about Iowa, I figure you’d Atleast want to know when you’re incorrect. I know I like to know if I messed something up and welcome corrections.

One things for sure, I won’t be able to influence you and you won’t be able to influence me. You won’t bend on Huskers gaining traction and I won’t bend on ever player Iowa has coming up being an instant success. But I bet we can both agree, Iowa and Huskers will both have great battles coming up. Ferentz will keep Iowa competitive and Frost will keep blowing these Huskers up.

So by this standard, not winning the big ten or even our division, but finishing in the top 10-15 with >10 wins is a good season, right?

Yes that would be a good season. Just like 2009 and 2010 were good seasons. I didn't get all bent out of shape just because we didn't win a conference title.

Let's say we do win a conference title but get our butts handed to us in a NY6 bowl. For me, I'd rather we win a NY6 bowl than the conference title game.
