Honestly, that's what you get for having a first name as a last name, and a last name as a first name.

All I know is Wisconsin looked brutal with Locke in the game. They basically could only run shovel passes.

They looked brutal before Mordecai was hurt.

We could easily go 0-6 or 6-0.

I still think 3-3 is about the ceiling for this group.
The only way I see 4-2 or better is if: (1) Haarberg shows accelerated improvement in his passing each week or (2) Sims gets some starts & reclaim his SO yr steadiness he had at GT.
Unfortunately I don't see scenario 1 or 2 happening. 1 - I think Haarberg will largely be the same guy he's been for good and bad. 2 - I honestly have no idea what's going on w Sims so who knows. But he looks like a guy who would buckle under the pressure of these tight B1G games with a bowl berth on the line.
As always, no one hopes he's wrong more than me. My problem is that I'm always right. 😡 But I hope I'm the wrongest mother fucker who ever wronged this side of the Mississippi.

3-3 gets us to a bowl game. Knowing what we know now, which 3 beat us? Cockeye and Wisconsin most likely, maybe Maryland. Given recent events, we'd have to really shit ourselves, like Frost level shit ourselves, to go worse than 3-3. And I'm not trying to talk myself into it. There's almost no excuse to lose to anyone other than Wisconsin, and they just lost their QB. I would say Wisconsin simply due to athletic ability at the skill positions.

i disagree on the easily part, only because whatever this team does they will make it look excruciatingly difficult

I'm not even sure we'll win 3, I was saying that 3-3 is our ceiling. We could lose to all 6 teams, as others have said.
Here are my reasons:
1. We have the worst WR unit out of all 6 teams (actually entire B1G)
2. We have the most QB fumbles out of all 6 teams (actually entire nation)
3. RB depth is one guy
4. OL is MAYBE avg out of the 6 teams but they have bad BAD situational awareness (penalties at the worst time)
5. STs can be good but also have major clunkers
6. D doesn't force enough turnovers to paper over items 1-5
The big difference between Cockeye and us is Cockeye gets tons of huge, game-changing plays from their D and STs. That compensates for their bad offense. Nebraska's D and STs are not doing what Cockeye's does for them. D doesn't force enough TOs and Buschini still has bad games and Alvano is a mystery.
We don't have the elements to compensate for our bad offense to go 4-2. Cockeye does. For us to do better than 3-3 we'd need to show something from QB, WR and PK that we have not seen this season.
