We’re 5-1

No I don't remember that because those days never were. Burke and McCashland switched jerseys pregame of the 84 Orange Bowl. Only time TO ever tried it. Facts are a bitch
My recollection was the switch happened at halftime of that game… am I misremembering?
 
The same record as top 25 teams Ohio St, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Tenn, Clemson, ND, A&M, Boise, K State, Missouri, SMU, Illinois.

We convert a drive or 2 at Illinois and Nebraska is getting playoff talk right now.

Point being… Chill. It’s never as good or bad as it seems. We weren’t the playoff contenders people were hyping us up to be after the CU win… and we aren’t bottom of the B1G after a pedestrian win against a bad Rutgers.

This team has the ability to win or lose every game on the schedule. Maybe with the exception of tOSU, but the Oregon game actually gave me hope we can compete.

There’s going to be ups and downs the rest of the way, but I think we match up well with IU. Our pass rush and corners shut em down. Huskers by 10.

GBR!
I've been waiting for Nebraska to put together a complete game for over 2 decades. I'm hoping we see it this year. I think it would be glorious with this team.
 
Idaho - 14
Oregon - 24
Was over a month ago though, they seemed to have flipped a switch in week 3 and have taken care of business since.

Their week 2 win against Boise State is aging well, also.

The main worry about “we’re 5-1, relax” is that last year we were 5-3 coming off some nailbiter wins. We’re heading back into the ****y part of the season where we seem to get punched in the mouth early and don’t do enough to recuperate.

UCLA should be a guaranteed win, but a 6-7 win season would not feel great with the way we started, and it would reinforce the concerns I had with Rhule being prone to collapse years ago.

What do you mean by “ Rhule being prone to collapse”? Not saying you’re wrong, I just don’t see that from his body of work at Temple or Baylor.

2009 holiday bowl is the last true complete game I remember
Bowl games are tough, because sometimes the other team doesn't show up. But, I would agree because that 2009 team was loaded. Suh, Roy Helu, Rex Burkhead, Prince Amukamara, Jared Crick, Pierre Allen, Barry Turner, Larry Asante, Zac Lee, Will Compton, and the O-Line - Mike Smith, Keith Williams (walking wounded), Jacob Hickman, Ricky Henry, and Marcel Jones.
 
Whatever excuse you want to use to justify your position is great.

We are a good team headed in the right direction that still has massive improvements to make. We can easily get beat by anyone in our conference if we do what we have the last 10 years. It's that simple.
Nobody is disputing that what so ever. You are just taking a really strange take on this. Almost as if you are screaming in the corner waiting to be acknowledged
