What do you view as the more likely outcome this season? Losing to Buffalo Bulls or beating the Oklahoma Sooners?
 
Nobody might not beat Oklahoma till the playoffs this year..

Better question who will beat Oklahoma during the regular season?
 
Sorry, but the poll is incomplete. The answer is neither.
So you think the odds are the same? Are they 0%? 50%? 100%?

Of course the answer is losing to Buffalo. We’ve already lost to Troy and damn near lost to South Alabama under Frost. Buffalo is better than both those teams.
 
Scooter, at Neb, hasn't beaten a power 5 team that ended the season with a winning record in 2 years

His marquee win at Neb to date was the win over a 7-6 MSU team in 2018 when his high octane offense put up 9 points

Iowa state has pretty much last year's team returning. They have a recent history of beating the Sooners

There is also the whorns with Sarkisian who have beaten OU more than ISU have since left the Big12..

No, I just don’t like these kinds of questions. All it does is cause conflict. If you say beating OU, the doom patrol will be on you like white on rice.

If you say losing to Buffalo, the eternal optimists will be all over you calling you a troll.

I just don’t see the benefits of this poll.

So maybe if we look at this a couple different ways.

What will be the spread on these games? Will we be favored by more over Buffalo than OU is over us?

For another perspective, just for reference OSU was 96% to win in 2019 in Lincoln.

That same season we were at 97% to win over So Alabama.

Honestly I think it is probably pretty close as to odds of beating OU or losing to Buffalo. But both are really long odds.
 
1 player being hurt shouldn't cause us to lose to a team with such less talent than us

QB is the most important player on the field.. Even teams can recover with losing offensive and or defensive lineman because more players play as a unit at those positions..

If you want to blame SF for chasing Gebbia away I’ll except that, but we had a walk on QB start the second game of the season with a new coaching staff..

ouch! That hurts
 
Huskers lost to Troy because AM was out because of the Colorado game..End of that story..

Nebraska wasn't much more talented than any team in 2017 or 2018 including that 10-3 Troy team and they were simply flat our bad with a walk-on QB that year

Prior to his arrival, we lost 6 of our last 7 games and in our last 3 lost to unranked Minnesota by 33, were losing 42-10 to PSU in third before we tacked on points late and then proceeded to have an unranked average Iowa team kick our tails up in down the field losing 56-14 and giving up almost 7 yards a rush in the process. Those issues were equal parts coaching and roster (talent)

Trying to say that Frost lost to anyone in 2018 given the mess he took over simply doesn't make sense. In fact you could say the turnaround in the last 7 games in 2018 was actually excellent coaching. I team that had been mostly uncompetitive for roughly a 12 game stretch goes 4-3 the final 4 games, beating a Minnesota team that beat us by 30 previous year and playing both both Iowa and OSU within a score as offense averaged 37 last seven games.
