Dude for 3.5 quarters we was right with them. If we had any conditioning at all we would have won. Oh and a defense. And a o line. But guess what we have all that now. And confidence. We beat wisco and Michigan this year and Ohio state. I'm telling you we are going to kick a lot of ass this year. And get our respect back

^^^ I'll have what he's having...^^^

Make it a double

I say give Frost a year...maybe two and then let's talk. Not beating UM or Wisky this year.

Looking from this as a Big Ten coaches point of view with Michigan and Nebraska on the schedule. who I would be more concerned about an my answer is that I dont think I would have any more respect/fear for Jim Harbaugh in year 4 after going 8-4 then I do Scott Frost in year 1 taking over a 4-8

Also Michigan has just as tough if not tougher schedule as Nebraska. Both teams could be a little beat up by the time they play each other.

How is Shea Patterson leading the offense for Michigan.

How is the new offensive coordinator clicking with the current staff at Michigan. Those are two glaring issues I would be concerned about if I was a Michigan fan.

On the flip side Nebraska seems to have two quarterbacks that are capable of running the offense one is just going to be a little bit better at are more suited to run Scott Frost offense.

I'm thinking 6-6 at worse 5-7 but reserve the option to change to 9-3, 10-2 after game 4.

@MGoBlue17

Hard to argue with those points, HuskerPower52. UM's schedule is brutal and we could stumble if the offense does not come together....still big questions about the O line. As always the injury bug could play a big factor as well. I see this as a feast or famine year for UM....either we go 11-1 or its another 8-4 year. Neb could surprise people...a lot will depend on how they move the ball as I think their D will be solid.

Honestly as the season approaches I think Michigan is going to be a very tough team. I think they will beat osu. I used to have a lot of faith in Nebraska beating Michigan this year but anymore I don't see that happening. I think with the returning starters on defense that Michigan will have a top 3 defense this year in the country. @MGoBlue17 My cousin and I are trying to decide if we should go to the Michigan or Wisconsin game. I would rather go to the big house but distance is a issue since we might drive. I am all for flying and I found Hotel tickets and air fair for under $500. Long and short if we make it to Ann Arbor Ill buy the first round win or lose.

Bopleeny had more wins than Harbaugh in their first 3 years respectively. Bopleeny didn't win big games and neither does Harbaugh.
If you want to rate Michigan's defense, simply look at the horrid offenses they played last season on their way to (8-5) overall.

Like you, I think Nebraska's chances (with a first year coach) of beating them are extremely slim. However, Michigan being "very tough", "beating OSU", and a "Top 3 defense"?

Naw

Most likely another (8-5) or (9-4) team.

Frost seems to bring wins with him, but this is a tough schedule

I think 7-5 with one unexpected win
