Or did the players look bigger, stronger and more like real football players than we have seen ina long time. Is this a reflection of buy in where the players are actually busting ass in S/C and its not hype anymore?
Going from a 5'9" primary receiver, a walk-on, and Washington who was average size, to Neyor, Banks, Nelson... we have NFL size. Just changes the complexion of our offense. Plus adding Mazzccua, who is a beast.Or did the players look bigger, stronger and more like real football players than we have seen ina long time.

Possibly. How they look next Saturday will be a more accurate measuring stick. I can't wait.
Weve had occasional one offs before. Showing it next week will communicate even more.We never had problem controlling the LOS which is a huge improvement over the last 5+ years. We haven’t handled a team of any caliber quite like that in a long time, maybe NIU in 2019 or Northwestern in 2021.
I don’t believe I’ll be able to actually enjoy the season until after next week. Win or lose it will give us all an idea where this program is at and what expectations should be.Weve had occasional one offs before. Showing it next week will communicate even more.
I only expect 6 wins no matter whatI don’t believe I’ll be able to actually enjoy the season until after next week. Win or lose it will give us all an idea where this program is at and what expectations should be.

The last decade is why some of us are having some doubts.How so? All I’ve read on here is what a joke of a clown show program sCUm is. We should beat them handily, no? How are they some sort of measuring stick all the sudden?

The Colorado game I think is a bit unique. In that it will be a mental test for this team if they can perform in front of the bright lights on national television. There is also a mutual hatred for CU somewhat similar to Iowa, can they keep their heads in certain situations and not make dumb mistakes.
The transformation started last year. Rhule is making this team play football competitively and physically. Luckily,, he recognized early that players were not ready to play top-level football and needed an attitude adjustment. Everything Rhule does is a competition, and this was never instilled into the program by previous staff. Football is 90% mental, and if you have not trained the brain to compete, you are behind the stacks on first down.Or did the players look bigger, stronger and more like real football players than we have seen ina long time.

It's not about them, it's more about our track record in big games. You know, the tendancy to shoot ourselves in the foot.How so? All I’ve read on here is what a joke of a clown show program sCUm is. We should beat them handily, no? How are they some sort of measuring stick all the sudden?
Because they're a joke of a PROGRAM doesn't mean they 100% beatable.How so? All I’ve read on here is what a joke of a clown show program sCUm is. We should beat them handily, no? How are they some sort of measuring stick all the sudden?
Besides CU I can’t think of another team other Iowa that lives rent free in the minds of NU fans. Wisconsin may be a distant third, surprisingly there’s quite a few Wisconsin nut huggers on this board.I hope our players and coaches aren’t looking at it like some of our fans are.
And Iowa? Really? I’m either really old or you’re really young. Because for my generation, our annoyance with Iowa doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the ass of our hatred for sCUm

They may be a clown show but they can beat us. Anyone that predicts a Husker blowout win is talking crazy.How so? All I’ve read on here is what a joke of a clown show program sCUm is. We should beat them handily, no? How are they some sort of measuring stick all the sudden?
Rhule - wins for everyone????to sum up the last 10 years or so of Nebraska culture
Pelini - us vs everyone
Riley - ice cream for everyone
Frost - margaritas for everyone
I still think the key to the game is the D putting pressure on little Sanders. We don't want to see him slinging the ball all over the place to Hunter and Horn.Because they're a joke of a PROGRAM doesn't mean they 100% beatable.
Winning means we were able to take care of a semi-talented team that we SHOULD be able to beat, but haven't for quite some time.
Losing means (or will at least feel like) we're stuck in our losing ways that we still haven't been able to overcome.
My buddy who played college ball and was buddies with Joe Klecko among others says this team is different. He’s not a Husker fan but has multiple friends who are so he watches our games. He says this is the best Husker team he’s seen in 2 decades. He said this is the first time he’s seen units 1-3 play like they need to play.Weve had occasional one offs before.
