Hypothetical

[LoudHogRider]

Depends how good Coastal Carolina looks against Buffalo in 2 weeks.

But … but, Buffalo will be all beat up after facing US! Not a fair comparison (he yells into the night).

By the way, it will be both.

If we kill Buffalo and play a clean game, I'd be more optimistic. Winning is always nice, but especially so when you see the team executing well. You can start to imagine that translating over to tougher games.

If we win and it looks like we're struggling at certain points or continue to make mistakes, I'll keep my reservations for the season. Those mistakes will be exploited down the road by better teams.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

It depends. The thing I want to see from Fraud and his merry band of G5 coaches are things that look like they'll translate successfully against better teams. There's a world in which they demolish buffalo, but play calling is erratic and they play sloppy, for instance, but talent overcomes all. There's also a world where they build off the good things against Fordham and start looking like they have a plan and identity.

But the mere fact we're discussing this means it's a Bulls romp

Nothing that happens this week can make me feel better. Same with last week. Next week is a different story.

 

[redzoner]

I will only feel better if the offensive line takes a big step forward.

We can’t have a guy blowing by someone on every play and missing most of our second level blocks.

Martinez really struggles when he gets pressure from the middle and right now our interior line is a turnstile.

That's Fair

If we win by 21 or more points, 99.99999999% of Nebraska fans will be like "that win doesn't count bc Buffalo must really suck." Then for Oklahoma week, Husker fans will be like "we're really 0-1 on the season, bc we played 2 games that don't count."

You have to understand Nebraska fan: games only truly 'count' if we lose them. If we win, there was probably some extenuating circumstances that led us to accidentally beat someone. Husker fans are very pleasant, normal people.

You sir, understand the Husker psyche.
