Switching it to unacceptable: LaTech, Northern Illinois, Colorado, Northwestern, Cockeye

The One thing: The eye test. We play good football with what we have.

I think 5-7 or 7-5 is the ceiling of this specific team due to youth. I would really question things if we don’t hit 6 wins personally but if there are some moral nuggets or reasons behind missing that last win to get a bowl I can accept that I think.

If we lose to Cockeye and Colorado then I also think I’d have to question things a little bit.

 

[MrKnightedHusker]

don’t care about too much except:
- play hard nosed, physical football
- get better each game
- win half or more

6-6 and a bowl game feels like the ceiling for me. I agree with your other points entirely for year one.

We are most experienced team in the west I think

6-6. games managed well, effort and grit shown. minimal shooting of the foot. 4-8 is unacceptable and if thats what happens it wont work here

Below 6-6 and I’m disappointed for sure. We have limp docked our way to lesser performance for 6 straight
seasons. Expectation is Rhule outperforms that

Bowl Game is huge.

if we found a way in 2013-2014 to win 9 we should always be able to win 6

6-6 and a bowl is what I expect as a standard. If we lose to a crappy team, that means we've overachieved vs better teams, so I'm not sweating which games.

Lower than that I'm disappointed, but it depends on whether it looks like a good & improving football team.

7-5 is what I personally (and not entirely logically) think the team should do.

 

[iruletheskool]

I'm expecting 15-0 gbr

 

[NeAz]

5 wins minimum (depending on injuries of course)

Top 5 in the Big 10 in turnover margin and penalties

More returned punts/better special teams

Halftime adjustments

No winning seasons in six years. If the players don't quit and do not play the undisciplined and shitty football I witnessed for the last 6 years, I will find that acceptable. Not putting a W/L number on it.

That’s where I’m at.

 

[doublewing]

I think even with improvement and adults in the room, 6-6 is where they land.

Injuries at QB could push this down to 4-8.

 

[ChocaEgg]

I expect 4 wins. 3 or less would concern me slightly but I won't hold this year against Rhule regardless of the W/L total. If we have a winning season I'ma party like we won the natty and proclaim Rhule our savior.

 

[Huskersballz]

Bowl game or fire Rhule. We didn’t bring him on for the same results as Scott Fraudst

- win5 games or more

This and croot

 

[HughJanus]

6 wins is acceptable
5 or less would be a bummer
7 or more would be exciting

 

[BIGSTICK67]

Acceptable. Considering it's his 1st year I'm going 6 wins - acceptable.

What what be impressive 8-9.

My prediction is 6 wins. I cannot predict a winning record until we have one again.
