Correct. Which is why I’m talking Nebraska. Also, *you’re.Your on the Nebraska board dip$&it…
We are not loosing to the human penis fleck again.Okay, so I am bored and I was looking at the schedule and guessing at what this season might be like. So I thought what the heck, why not start a prediction thread?
So many factors to consider. QB play. Offensive line improvement. Linebacker improvement. Better pass rush... So here goes:
@Minnesota: Loss. The Rhule era gets off to a rocky start. If this was not our first game and were it not on the road I would pencil this in the win column.
@CU: On the road and tons of fans will be in the stands with high emotion to see Deion's first game as coach. But we find a way to win.
Northern Illinois: A win. It better be and it will be. Rhule is not Mike Riley
La Tech: Same as above. No more Georgia Southerns. Rhule is not Scott Frost
Michigan: Loss. The talent gap is still too large.
@Illinois: Win. We should have beaten these turds last year.
Northwestern: Win. The Fitzgerald magic has worn off.
Purdue: Win. By this point in the season there will be momentum. Home game. We beat these guys.
@MSU: Win. MSU was really bad last year. Of course, so were we. But we always play very competitively against these guys. A solid road win
Maryland: Win. Home game and riding a four game win streak.
@Wisconsin: Win. I am tempted to predict a loss here. Mainly because Wisconsin has had our number since we joined the conference. I think we get some revenge here.
Iowa: WIN!!! And it won't be close this year.
As you can see, I am drinking the Rhule-Aid. I really think we are going to be a much improved team this year. And other than Michigan, there is not another team on our schedule that has more talent than we do. That is why I see a regular season at 10-2 with a trip to Indianapolis. Am I dreaming? Am I full of shit?
I know they lost their 32 year old QB Morgan, but what about Ibrahim? Isnt he gone too?We are not loosing to the human penis fleck again.
I thought Leonhard wasn't retained as DC as Wisky? Am I missing something?Wisconsin: Win I don't think Wisky realizes how hard a transition from Pro Style to Air Raid is. They don't have the talent at Receiver and Quarterback at the moment. Will really depend on if Leonhard can keep the defense going.
He wasn’t and still remains joblessI thought Leonhard wasn't retained as DC as Wisky? Am I missing something?
Yes Ibrahim is gone and so is a good portion of their offensive line..I know they lost their 32 year old QB Morgan, but what about Ibrahim? Isnt he gone too?
Kaliakmanis is an obvious upgrade over Morgan unfortunately.I know they lost their 32 year old QB Morgan, but what about Ibrahim? Isnt he gone too?
This is true. Seems to be more of a playmaker. Hopefully White's D can create turnovers.Kaliakmanis is an obvious upgrade over Morgan unfortunately.
Totally agree and they are brought in three players from Western Michigan, Sean Taylor RB and Corey Crooms WR, Ryan Selig LB all 3•..Kaliakmanis is an obvious upgrade over Morgan unfortunately.
If so, what are the odds Harbaugh develops "health challenges" and resigns at the end of the year. A La Urban in Gainesvillemichigan will be a 4-loss team this year
I think it's pretty clear he's got one foot out the doorIf so, what are the odds Harbaugh develops "health challenges" and resigns at the end of the year. A La Urban in Gainesville
Dude, haven't you seen him with his shirt off playing catch with the boys? He's in tip-top physical condition!If so, what are the odds Harbaugh develops "health challenges" and resigns at the end of the year. A La Urban in Gainesville
Agree, I do believe Minnesota will have a new offensive coordinator as well..In regards to losing to Minnesota in that first game I would recommend to those that mark this down as a loss to take look at Minnesota's past record of first games. The one thing that concerns me in 2023 is our new OC and how long will it take the offense to adjust to his teaching. I know it took South Carolina quite some time to adjust, lets hope that's not the case for Nebraska.
It's going to be hard to predict IMO. I doubt Rhule has ever had a roster like this in his first year. But Minnesota is always solid and physical.In regards to losing to Minnesota in that first game I would recommend to those that mark this down as a loss to take look at Minnesota's past record of first games.

Yikes! Stay far far away coach. We don't need this shit.If we don’t win 10 games next year - this is why
You're right. I thought he was retained. My b.I thought Leonhard wasn't retained as DC as Wisky? Am I missing something?
Anything is possible, but they have another weak OOC schedule and out of the west they draw @nebraska, @Minnesota, and Purdue at home.michigan will be a 4-loss team this year
In theory, losing only Hixson (forget any other OL losses) but returning Nouilli and adding Scott has to represent an upgrade. Will that turn them from crappy to subpar, or from crappy to average? Who knows.I Love all the predictions and am cautiously optimistic that we can hit that 9-10 win range... for me, it all starts on that OL... regardless on who starts at QB, if they're not running for their life and if the line can open some lanes for the RB's then yes... this could be a GREAT season! It ALL starts there!

1943 Lewandowski lost in Minneapolis, and in 1946 Masterson lost the season openerGreat point
I think I read something somewhere that we’ve had two coaches begin their NU tenures with games @ minnesota (crazy)?
And that they went 0-2 in those. One was Jennings, not sure the other or if it’s even true frankly
Something’s gotta give!
Some of us made excuses for Scott Frost in his first year. They blamed his failures on the previous staff. However, if he was as good as advertised, he should have been able to improve upon the 4-8 record of the previous year.That schedule is really soft. I like that we are playing Colorado. I get the worries with a big ten opponent first but we are a big ten opponent for them, and its minnesota not wisconsin.
I’ll get heat for this, but i dont know how you can look at that schedule and not think anything less than 8 wins is a failure in Rhules first year. If he’s as good as everyone thinks he is, and he did bring in a lot of new talent, but even with our old talent, 8 wins should be the minimum.
Michigan only guaranteed loss, and they will be down this year from where they were
maryland wisconsin next level of acceptable losses, and wisky in transition year with new coach and new scheme after a disappointing season and we easily should have beat them and would have with rhule
iowa minny toss ups and im being kind to iowa
Thats really only five games we could lose and i dont think we lose five. I think 3 or less honestly.
Health matters of course.
Theres no way we didnt hit rock bottom last year, and we still beat iowa and shoulda beat more teams.
Agree with all of this. NU should go 8-4 this year barring any injuries.That schedule is really soft. I like that we are playing Colorado. I get the worries with a big ten opponent first but we are a big ten opponent for them, and its minnesota not wisconsin.

Rhules first year should really turn out like Pelini’s first year ..That schedule is really soft. I like that we are playing Colorado. I get the worries with a big ten opponent first but we are a big ten opponent for them, and its minnesota not wisconsin.
