Guess he has us beating Rutgers & Indiana in conference play?

Is Nebraska closer to a breakthrough or breakdown? In Scott Frost’s fifth season, a lot is on the line

If Huskers hold up in the trenches (and special teams), they could reach a bowl game with a manageable schedule. But those are big ifs.

Interesting note: "Frost, while handing control of the passing game to Whipple, maintains oversight of the ground attack."

I didn't know this, is this correct or just old/bad info?

is that using chrome as a browser? cuz i can't find java script settings, but i'm kinda worthless too.

Backing off your 12 win prediction?

I cycle between 8,9,10,11, and 12 win predictions. It just depends on the day

I'm the same I guess, but I float between 3 and 4 wins.

 

[skersker]

Wrong what a dipshit

We win 8+ this year

Easy

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

I think these national pundits have seen enough of scofro to think he'll live up to or (god forbid) exceed expectations. Many have said it for 4 years and now they are saying he's a 3-4-5 win coach until he proves otherwise. don't blame stewie at all.

But when I say it on the RSS, taters call me a troll and tell me to STFU.

Coach most likely to get fired​

Nebraska’s Scott Frost. The best guess here is athletic director Turd Alberts finally rips off the Band-Aid midway through what figures to be another mediocre Huskers season.

Mandel's Big Ten predictions: It's Ohio State ... and everyone else

Across the aisle, Scott Frost and Nebraska could be facing another ho-hum season.

By all accounts I've heard, the offense is Whipple's passing scheme plus Frost's running scheme. I remember Thompson saying that's what he was studying on film just after he announced his transfer.

[herbsinator]

Potentially...he finishes 4-8...there's no potential. He gone.

The only question would be whether you let him stick around as a lame duck.

 

[Irv]

I think he'll be safe with four wins.

That's a 25% improvement over the previous season. You have to keep riding that sort of a rocket ship.

 

[HerbRedman]

I don't think Frost is the solution long term. So I'm not opposed to a reset.

However I don't think we are bad enough to do a 4-8 with this schedule. I think that's just nuts. I also don't think Mandel realizes how much $$$ our NIL team spent on improving the roster. Mathis, Omar Brown, Tommi Hill, Thompson, Purdy, Palmer... not to mention Anthony Grant and Ajay Allen.

I don't think Mandel realizes that our boosters probably spent $2-3m upgrading this roster. No one in the West really did this. I'm all for the 4-8 but that's not realistic with the talent level there. Even for the biggest Frost haters.

Yeah, but it wasn't 3-9 talent last year. It wasn't "start the season 0-6" talent his first year. Etc.

Doubt Scott Frost's ability to obliterate the odds at your own peril.

I still wouldn't bet on 4-8 though. That be an embarrassing endictment of Whipple, Joseph, Chinander, Fisher and Bill Busch.

I'm predicting 6-6.

Now, if I was Mandel, I'd predict 4-8 too. Because, Fuck Frost. So I respect what he's doing. But for those rooting for armageddon, I'm hear to tell you that 4-8 is going to be tough. That involves a lot of good position coaches to just collectively shit their pants. That won't happen. 6-6 probably will. But not 4-8.

 

[slattimer]

with this schedule.

I keep hearing this. We couldn't beat Illinois last year. I don't care who is on the schedule or how "easy" it is perceived...sorry, not directed at you, I'm just tired of the narrative.

A few key injuries could make 4-8 plausible.

Key injuries can make any team go 4-8.

(outside of maybe 8-10 schools)

I think more schools than 8-10 can withstand a few key injuries and do better than 4-8. Two to three teams in the west could do better than 4-8 with some key injuries.
