I see 8 games where the Husker should be as good if not better up front. So I'll count those as should be wins.
I see 4 games where the Huskers need to get a lot better up front, or need those teams to play a bad game. Ohio St, Wisconsin, Penn St, and Iowa.

I see lose to Ducks, their RB's will be too much to handle. Plus game is on road, Huskers don't beat good to good+ teams on their home field. But they will beat one of the four you have, so I would say 8 wins is minimum.

I'm apprehensive only for our defense, I gave Riley 2 yrs and this is it right now post TA, everything was up front from the start so no more excuses, if we don't win our division this year then I'm done with him whatever # of wins that takes I don't care. We've out recruited Wisconsin and the iowa since the invention of football so it's obvious for me where the problem is otherwise

I don't have expectations for a division title. Fairly meaningless if you can't look competitive in the Big 10 Championship.

It would take the Vegas 6 wins to get me grumpy. That would mean the Huskers will have lost to at least one of the following...

Arkansas St (home)
Northern Illinois (home)
Rutgers (home)
Illinois
Purdue
Northwestern (home)
Minnesota

I still believe he should get 4 years though. We're still watching some Bopleeny croots.

I think will compete for the Big Ten Championship this year and for the next several years we need appsolutely have to start getting better offensive lineman recruits though

9, maybe 10 regular season even.
Wisconsin will take the division. Their schedule is a cake walk this year.

I see 9 wins at best with more of a 7 win probable type season.

Oregon will likely beat us. Wisconsin and Ohio State are for sure losses.

Penn State and Iowa are likely losses.

We only play 2 teams that are well-rounded and that is Wisconsin and Ohio State.

Don't care how many guys Ohio State loses/returns, they have Urban Meyer and a plethora of 5-star players. They'll continue to win.

Our offense is going to shock a lot of folks, yeah The Shocker, we just have no idea about the knew defensive scheme, from the accounts of former players it'll take a year minimum to really take hold

OSU is not unbeatable. Hell if we had caught them two weeks earlier last year we very well might have beat them. I know ifs and buts, but that's my thoughts.With that said though I'm thinking the same two losses and then either Penn State or Iowa.
I've kind of got a feeling about Oregon. Don't know why but I feel like we're going to win that one so that will probably be a loss too. Guess that makes me at eight.
