2024 predictions

8-4. A few disappointing losses to get started (likely CU) but they get rolling midway through the year.
 
I think it has gotten lost the importance of getting Deshon Singleton back. Without looking at the stats if I remember right, he was our leading tackler after first four games before going down on the first series against Michigan. He wore a single digit number and was all over the field against Minnesota. If he can get back to that after injury I think he is poised to have a hell of a year.

Want so badly to get my hopes up but have just simply been hurt too many times before. Give me a win against Colorado and Cockeye and let the chips fall where they may, and I would say that would shape out to be a damn good year.

I don't care what the QB depth chart looks like so long as Haarberg doesn't take a snap all year.

Everyone talks about doing that with him or making him a tight end. Fact of the matter is the guy's lateral quickness is so bad that if he was standing on train tracks with a train barreling towards him and all he had to take one step to the side he would be dead meat.

Short yardage? How about 4 & 1 our second drive against Michigan near the red zone, didn't get it which effectively ended the game right there (not saying had we gotten it would we have been in the game or won).

Run the option with him? He was too scared to pitch the ball last year.

What does he do well? He is fast as hell in a straight line but unfortunately those don't come often in football. Only the early games against scrubs last year where you saw him pop off.

He's an above average runner for the QB position but not a good enough runner to warrant touches especially since he's one of the top fumblers in college football

8-4 regular season. I think the program is still learning how to win and the will be on a streak going into Indiana game and get a little overconfident and it burns them. Carriker OCCASIONALLY has a few points I agree with and I think he’s right here first we have to learn how to win then learn how to handle winning. So that’s why I think we get off to a hot start in the first half of the season then stumble a little down the stretch with the tougher half of the schedule. Only time I think there is a potential for us getting blown out is at USC. I don’t think Ohio state blows us out at home and good chance it’s a night game if we only have 1 loss, so we give them a scare but just not quite enough to win.

Raiola will look very good first season but still has some freshmen issues and turns the ball over a little more than we would like but nothing close to what we have been used too.

As for CU game, I think we handle that game by the beginning of 4th quarter. Not necessarily because we will be that good but they will be that bad.

TW leaves for a head coaching job and Butler goes back to NFL for a DC job after just one season here leaving Rhule without his “DC in waiting” and we go poach Syracuse DC again for Robinson.
 
Let’s cut the bullshit, it’s past midnight and I’ve been off work for 2 weeks and I’m still drunk and getting back to work tomorrow.

What’s Nebraskas record in 2024

Official projected depth chart. If you disagree get fucked. DB backups are a dumpster fire. Good the old db coach liked to fuck. Special teams give zero shits about. Don’t let the team kick or punt. Just let Barney return kicks.

Gottula is probably going to be on the 2 deep depth chart somewhere.

Nelson will play but not ahead of Boerkircher for a while.

If Ervin is healthy and stays healthy, he will get the most carries in 2024. That is a pretty big of.

8-4 or 9-3. Just Beat CU I will be happy with 7-5. If we lose to CU we better beat several teams later in the year we are not supposed to beat.

I was supremely confident we would beat those cuck dipshits the last 3 times and here we are. I'm not ready to get hurt like that again.

Still no way we lose to a shitty Colorado team at night in memorial stadium. Place will be rocking.
Just be ready for a fight, man. Their strength is our weakness. We sacked them 10 times last year and they won by 20+! I bet I could count on one hand how many times 10 sacks by a team losing by 20+ has happened in college football history before.
