Next week

[Pennsyhusker]

is going to be one of the biggest games for our program in years. We are no longer relevant nationally and are viewed as a has been program on the decline. Recruiting disadvantages blah, blah blah! You have all heard the drivel. And nobody is impressed with our 7-0 start since we have struggled to win against weak teams.

Lose next week and it is back to that tired narrative. Lose and we are back to an afterthought.
Win next week and the national perception of NU changes overnight.
Huge game

This is totally possible. Truly believe wiscosin match up is better for our D than Purdue. Played our best game last year after losing to Pudue. We will win in Madison.

Hope you are right! My concern is not our defense. We need a healthy Carter, Westy, Farmer and Gates

we are going to see if we belong or not the next 5 weeks ... we can gain a lot of respect even with some losses or we will prove the critics right

current winning % of opponents in 1st 7 games --- .396
current winning % of opponents in last 5 games ---.735 (results pending some night game results)

gonna see what we are made of .. should be fun

I don't agree with much of this narrative. Next week is of course important but what we do after next week is much more important. We have at least six games left even if we don't get into the conference championship game. A loss next week is hardly the end of the world.

I'm not sure why the team is even thinking about playing the game. We are going to get slaughtered. We may even give up like 400 rushing yards to one guy.

Wait a minute. I might not want to "like" your post. I'll end up on vacation.

It will be a bloodbath. I could see Clement topping Gordon's day.

Wish we had Pelini to make our adjustments

Probably the biggest game of the season next week. We are ranked ahead of Wisconsin, and Wiscy still has a lot of respect despite its losses. If we lose, I think you are right, they'll just write us off as overrated. But if we win, then we'll be taken seriously from then on. A loss to Ohio State won't hurt us if we beat Wiscy, because a lot of pundits have OSU in the final four already. I think we have a good shot at Wiscy, they didn't overwhelm Iowa. But we are going to need an A game from TA and our OL.
