Ok ESPN hates farmers etc etc but if they are right is that ok for year 3 of this regime?

It would be difficult to argue that we showed anything on the field last year that should lead any analyst to believe we will be better than 4-4 this year.
Go away, Troll.6-3 this year to just tie the ridiculously high mark for conference wins set by Mike Riley
to think in year 3 - 4 conference wins - a mere improvement of just a single conference win over Riley in 2017 would in any way be heralded as any type of achievement is truly remarkable
6-3 this year to just tie the ridiculously high mark for conference wins set by Mike Riley in his three illustrious years at Neb

Exactly!You just love humping the Riley bandwagon..
With your protégé still be here we’d be lucky to win one game.
So much has changed from last year.1) Center has a year under his belt. 2) OL has depth and should be improved. 3) Receiving corps should be improved hopefully with some that want to block. 3) Starting running back came on strong last year and should be 800 yard rusher if he stays healthy. 4) The Washington experiment is in the rear view mirror. 5) New OC and run game coordinator that will hopefully get rid of some gadgets that didn't work. 6) An addition to the TE group that should make it more of a weapon. 7) Third year in the defensive scheme. That's the longest the Huskers have had continuity of coaches on that side of the ball in what seems like a decade. 8) Two qb that should leave little dropoff in performance in case of injury and there will be injuries.It would be difficult to argue that we showed anything on the field last year that should lead any analyst to believe we will be better than 4-4 this year.

Absolutely not!Ok ESPN hates farmers etc etc but if they are right is that ok for year 3 of this regime?
I’m with you on the offense and I think we will be vastly improved on special teams. However, I’m pretty skeptical we see improvement on the defensive side.So much has changed from last year.1) Center has a year under his belt. 2) OL has depth and should be improved. 3) Receiving corps should be improved hopefully with some that want to block. 3) Starting running back came on strong last year and should be 800 yard rusher if he stays healthy. 4) The Washington experiment is in the rear view mirror. 5) New OC and run game coordinator that will hopefully get rid of some gadgets that didn't work. 6) An addition to the TE group that should make it more of a weapon. 7) Third year in the defensive scheme.

3-5 to 5-3 likely...so 4-4 is very fair IMO4-4 is certainly fair and very likely. I still hope we can start the season 1-1, and maybe finish 5-3 or 6-2.
Looks like 2-6 is more likely , given these oddsESPN's Football Power Index from 9/21:
Opponent - chance of N win
OSU - 04.6%
Wi - 12.5%
NW - 34.5%
PSU - 17.4%
ILL - 66.4%
IA - 36.2%
Pur - 59-1%
MN - ---- (no odds)
If you buy into ESPN's FPI, 4-4 would be a good outcome.
I'd still be disappointed.
In Mike Riley's 3 years - he played a total of 7 big ten teams that finished the season in the AP top 10
in Frost's first 2 years - he has played 3
4 big ten teams on the schedule would need to finish the season in the top ten for the 2 coaches to have faced a similar schedule of elite conference opponents in their first 3 years .. but by all means keep hedging by claiming Frost has such a tougher schedule
hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.Go away, Troll.

@jlb321 of course you're right. you're just such a bitch about it.
Would someone please point this dipshit to the Iowa board, he may find someone over there that cares.the numbers are, indeed, quite disquieting
It’s always disenchanting when the data get in the way of a good yarn
None of that’s a given.Looks like 2-6 is more likely , given these odds
Can we beat NW and either Iowa or Minnesota?
my point exactlythe numbers are, indeed, quite disquieting

If I had to bet my life on it....I would put it on a 1-3 start. Tough road.While I think we'll be improved this year, I just don't know where the wins come from. We very easily could be 1 - 3 to start. If we can split the last 4, we're still only 3 - 5.
@Ohio State - currently #5
Wisconsin - currently #14
@NW - certainly winnable, but on the road
PSU - currently #8
llinois - gotta get this one
@Iowa - toss up game - on the road
@Purdue - winnable, but on the road
Minnesota - tough game, but at home
Playoffs
I actually feel good about Wisconsin. I think catching them early in the season is the best for us. 2-2 start.If I had to bet my life on it....I would put it on a 1-3 start. Tough road.
Doable but again if my backs against the wall...I wouldn’t bet on it.I actually feel good about Wisconsin. I think catching them early in the season is the best for us. 2-2 start.
please do this.If I had to bet my life on it....I would put it on a 1-3 start. Tough road.
