Our next 4 opponents

Illinois is probably the most challenging one of the bunch...

Friday night and on the road in an empty stadium against an experienced HC.

Win that one it gives you momentum into the bye.
I think Purdue will be the most challenging but I won't fight you over it. We could win all 4 we could lose all 4. Nothing would surprise me.
 
I'm serious....any sort of W against Illinois is so important. Do that and we have 15 days to heal up and pound NW at home.
friends friday GIF
 
Friday is a critical game in terms of making a bowl game. We absolutely need this one, badly .. Even going 3-1 in this stretch would bode well to get to 6, with Cockeye at home being our best opportunity to get a W with our remaining 3 games
 
If we win 6 games and go to a bowl game? What is the percentage split of people who are happy and those who are not?

Me…happy.
I don't care if it's the Toilet Bowl, as long as we go bowling. Even if can make a bowl at 5-7 with a high enough APR, everybody would be happy including me. What's a Bowl Game? Forgot about that completely.

Before Osborne won those 3 NCs, some fans complained about him losing so many bowl games, saying that Osborne eats his cereal in a plate.

Why? Because if it were in a bowl, he'd lose it. And here we are now, with a shred of hope just to go to a bowl game this season.

As bad as we are in a lot of ways so far, this stretch SHOULD be where we start to see growth and progress and fewer mistakes. We're obviously not going to become a well-oiled machine this season, but I'm excited to see if we can start to practice what Rhule has been preaching against some equal competition.
 
This is a real good stretch. If Nebraska's rushing attack is real and if they can improve even slightly with passing this is a very nice run way. Just need to play consistent, run the ball, and hope defense is still the real deal.

Illinois - They have really struggled. Frost would 100% lose this game. 108th in rushing defense Nebraska needs to go in, not mess around, and take control of the game. If they win this one, they are back on track to make a bowl. Winning this game kind of counteracts the CU loss (for preseason predictions)

NW - At Home, they suck this year, no excuse to lose to them

Purdue - At home Has looked pretty bad all year except vs Illinois. They have Cockeye but OSU and a bye before they play Nebrsaka, so idk how much progress they will be able to make

MSU - Could be in free fall. Play Rutgers, Michigan, and Minnesota before Nebraska. Could be 2-6 to 4-4 coming into the game

Bad news fellas, I'm going to the Illinois game this week, and if my long history of going to away games tell me anything. We're going to take a L this week.

And as for making a bowl game, any fan that would be unhappy if we get to 6-6 and make a bowl game is out of their fucking mind.

Funny how things change. I remember my dad saying he’d never go to another Osborne coached bowl game. Lol
