Nebraska top 3?? Again? Come on ED. You're better than that. Nebraska will likely go 4-8/5-7 again. Frost is a good coach but their talent is abysmal. Give him a few years.

I can't recall if I had them top 3 in the East last year or not. I do think they will more than likely finish in the top 3. I don't have much faith in the rest of the division. It'll probably come down to the last game of the year IMO between them and Iowa.

I think they're more likely to finish 6th than top 3 lol

NDSU would win it all

It's just too bad Frosts players suck. Nebraska played 6 league games vs bowl teams last year and lost by an average of 20.5 ppg and they have up 56,56,56,38,31 and 24 in those 6 games or roughly 42 ppg. Gove the guy a few years and we will see what he's made of but the Huskers will be very fortunate to win 6 this year .

I guess we'll find out. I think they'll have a top 4 offense in the B1G this season. They'll be upgraded at QB. Have 3 of their top 4 WR return, and I think the O-line will be better. Biggest question mark is the defense. I'll be honest I have no clue what they'll have on defense, but I do know they'll have a really good offense and will have upgraded at HC and QB, significantly, IMO.

I'll believe it when I see it I guess. We heard the same thing last year . Gebbia may be good eventually but not too many freshman come in balling right away and their D is atrocious so while I tjonl their offense should be good it was pretty decent last year too and that didn't much matter

Gebbia can't be as bad as Tanner Lee, and Frost is significantly better than Riley. Those two upgrades alone will make a significant difference IMO.

Thanks. Typo on the score, i know it was 31-24 Ohio State won.

I failed on the wins by Wisconsin.

I am definitely not a dude, to you I would be a sir. Dude is lingo from when kids went to school in the 1990s. Such as the sophomorish movie "Dude where is my car?"

I went to elementary school when "groovy" and "far out" were the lingo. Beatnik was a little before my time.

Doesn't matter, Wisconsin will not win in State College in 2018.

My apologies sir. Wasn’t James Dean a beatnik? I could be wrong. He died waaaay before his time.

The only reason I know a bunch about PSU is because I grew up a fan. I really don’t think they’ll be all the great this year that’s why I think Wisconsin wins. Wisconsin will be pretty darn good on O.

If you look at PSU's recruiting the past three years you will see they are in reload mode. They lose a guy to the NFL, graduation or whatever and they just replace him with another stud.

Problem is their guy they are replacing was the thing that made their offense move. Also Im pretty sure they replace almost their whole receiving core and a good chunk of their D.

I would not be surprised if 8-4 is their ceiling. I can see losses to Ohio State, @Michigan, MSU And Wisonsin. That’s not including other games.

Holy shit.
Ferentz gets a $500K raise for every 8 win season. I did not know that.
That’s some seriously funny stuff right there.

@rjshull what exactly is facepalm about his post?

Your claim that Harbs is not a big game coach. His record at SF says otherwise

And is complete lack of one upset win while at Michigan and choke jobs against severely less talented teams like MSU x2, Iowa, South Carolina, Utah, kind of shows he suffers from shrinkage.

I disagree, Brady cHoke on top of RR has destroyed the team. He started with no talent except on D, and even there he immediately increased their effectiveness. This year will be his third full draft class, if his record stays the same going forward then I will to agree with you but not at this point. Harbs turned around a pathetic 49ers team in 1 year, and had them within 2 plays of going to back to back Super Bowls, he built the Stanford team from never being anything to being a powerhouse over a few years. Both of those teams show that he is a big game coach, now is when he needs to do it at Michigan, after a few years of getting his own kids in there.

James Dean was never a beatnik. He was more like a hood. A nice
one, but a hood nonetheless.

This just means they'll have a pair of 500 yd rushers by seasons end..
