Going into conference season

[popeyecv64]

I am not changing from my 8-4 prediction but my thoughts of possibly being better are higher than before. Not a ton higher but still higher.

The Big 10 is just so damn bad and if you can have a quality offense like ours in the Big 10 with by far and away the best WRs in the conference, then we have a chance. Hopefully Taylor doesn't got back to being Taylor of 2 years ago to be able to get them the ball.

from what I heard the WR like Taylor's balls

Well we're gonna find a lot out over the next few weeks here........

This stretch we're going through is going to be rough..........when was the last season that Nebraska got up for 5 straight games?

Well, I guess I should have stated that differently.......I didn't mean win 5 consecutive, I meant get up for 5 consecutive REAL games.

I mean we start a gauntlet this weekend.........next 5 games.....

vs Wisconsin
@ #14 Ohio State
@ Northwestern
vs Michigan
@ #20 Michigan State

I don't necessarily feel like we have an advantage in any of those 5 games to be honest...........and I think this weekend's game will be our easiest out of those 5

What is a SOLID win?

I think a SOLID win would be 21+ points

I was thinking 14+.

21+ is beyond solid, into a blow out.

If we win by 2 TD's I'll be happier than hell..........but I will also feel like maybe Wisconsin does suck and we are just average.

Average may be good enough to run away with this conference.
