Predicting the Big 10 West

My main point is records mean nothing. Pelini's record at Nebraska was a total charade. Anytime we played a team with a pulse he got his ass beat. What's more telling is this fraud had a winning record against Kirk and Iowa. But anytime he played Wisconsin he got obliterated.
You'll be saying something very similar in 2 or 3 years about ex-Husker failure Mike (marshmellow mouth) Reilly.
 
Our defense IS a lot better. There is a whole attitude change and nowhere is that more evident then with the play of the defense. The line is young but they're extremely athletic. John Parrella has really gotten them ready to play. Our linebackers are deep, athletic and healthy. You couldn't say that last year.And finally the secondary has matured and been a strength to the Blackshirts. All in all were pretty solid on defense.
388 yards to Northwestern...yikes
 
What? In today's football, 388 yards is not a lot. Shit, you probably win most games if you hold your opponent to that much.
Holding your average offense to 388 yards is decent. Northwestern is not your average offense.
 
Nope, and that's why I'm not the one spouting off about defensive improvement.
Well to be fair, the Husker defense was bad last year. Iowa's defense was solid. Thus, you have seen improvement out of the Husker defense but I don't think anyone is going to claim its championship caliber at this point.

Not a huge improvement. Secondary got better by as much as the defensive line got worse. The linebackers being healthy makes it somewhat better. Wisky and OSU will run all over that defensive line.
 
Nebraska Detasselers - You guys lived up to expectations and beat a weak Northwestern team on the road. Lets get a grip on reality though... You are a middling B10 team. We all have a chance of beating one another. Your national titles are now 19, meaning that everyone who experienced your last title are in college. Yikes. Feels like our wrestling program.

You will never have another Tom Osbourne, but you will always have a good fight on the friday of Thanksgiving. See you then, Detasseler Historians.

Hope not. Like I said to begin the year, 9-3 isn't acceptable and 8-4 would be a travesty. Losing to NDSU and going 8-4 should not happen with the talent on this team.
Point out the elite talent. King and CJ will be drafted for sure, Jaleel just because of his size, Jewel maybe. We are missing studs on both lines. Unless they make great strides 8-4 is very probable. Since we have burned some shirts, give those guys some meaningful snaps also.

I thought James Daniels looked pretty good yesterday. I am no pro when it comes to o-line, but he stood out to me.
 
Nebraska is gonna score more points against NW defense than Oregon defense? Haha.

We actually moved the ball better against Northwestern than Oregon, and if we don't fumble the ball on the goal line twice, we score more points against Northwestern too.
 
How did this turn into a Nebraska thread? Here's my prediction:

1. Wisconsin
2. Iowa
3. Nebraska
4-7: MN, NW, IL, PU
