@@dennisyoung7363 , Why not think like a champion and say NU is going undefeated? 9-3, as I already said, is not a playoff team. It's a bowl game team.

With Nebraskas schedule, an 8 win season is a must for the fans and program. Having to endure 6 losses would feel like failure and the continued mindset that we will never emerge from the rut we’ve been in. If we win 8, it means we may see ourselves ranked for the first time in a while. It means we competed during our entire season, had hope to reach the big ten championship game if even just to be in the conversation for just a couple weeks. Finally, it means we can dream of the cfp for the first half of the season and realistically miss out but play a solid team again in a respectable bowl. All those things are so needed.

I thought Nebraska competed like crazy last year. Especially on defense, they were terrific. They just kept finding a way, almost always on offense, to make the worst possible mistake at the worst possible time. It was amazing how many games we had a chance to win in the last five minutes after having 4, 5, 6 turnovers. How many times did the defense hold teams to a field goal or no score at all after we turned the ball over on our own side of the field. All we need is a quarterback who has average accuracy and ball security, and some receivers who get open once in awhile and we'll have a good season. The pre-season hype is that we have both. We'll see. If we are not at least 5-2 after the first 7 games we're in trouble. That's not to say that there aren't beatable left on the schedule, just that they're better than teams we will face in our first seven games.

6-6 is a must and all I’m expecting. That way I can be overjoyed if it’s any more than that.

Wise outlook

Most of us husker fans are still shell shocked by the Frost era. It was the lowest point in the programs history. It was the the final straw that seemed to break the fan base. It seemed to start with the "jet sweep" pounding from Wisconsin in the Big 10 championship game. Pelini had worn out his welcome with most fans and the administration. Mike Riley was the most deflating hire i have ever seen. Most fans were like, WHO? Then we had the crazy amount of HOPE and Kool Aid after the hiring Frost. The Frost era was SOOOOO bad. It was so many things from the home opener in the first season getting cancelled, to the covid season, to the BIG 10 stacking the deck annually against Nebraska, to the complete flame out against Georgia Southern, to the Mickey Joseph arrest after the season which stole all the momentum after knocking off Iowa at Kinnick. I am totally wait and see with Matt Rhule. Here's a coach that is a little bit over .500, never coached at this level in college, leaves each program after 3-4 years, and just got ran out of Carolina mid season. What i have seen, is a complete professional, with vision, direction, and a plan. The program seems to be heading in the right direction, but haven't we all said that before. My fear, is that Rhule will get the program relevant and bounce to PSU. But, so far, i have really liked everything that i am seeing from the culture, to the coaching, the recruiting, the exposure of the program, etc.

These are all fair points. Even though Mitch stated that the problems with Nebraska pre-dated the Frost era, there's no doubt that there is scar tissue from his tenure. Will be fascinating to see what Nebraska looks like this season. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I love these team specific podcasts. The comment that recruiting under Scott Frost wasn’t a problem is laughable though. Recruiting has been a problem ever since Nebraska left the BIG12. They couldn’t recruit Texas (produces the most NFL players) like they did when they were a member of the conference (same for Colorado). Frost came in and he thought he could continue to recruit Florida based on his relationships from UCF days. He didn’t put an emphasis on recruiting Texas (possibly he couldn’t as he didn’t have the same draw as a BIG10 member you weren’t playing Texas teams). Maybe under the new world of college football (transfer portal, NIL, etc) they’ll be able to recruit at a higher level… but Matt Rhule has brought in Texas high school coaches and has relationships from his relationships from Baylor days. Nebraska was a thing of beauty in the 90s, think Rhule has them headed in the right direction via recruiting Texas.

Frost brought in pretty good players, but his problem was he couldn't keep them. Every year under Frost the team's best receiver or best running back or better defensive player would transfer out. Even Adrian Martinez eventually left when it became apparent that Frost was a lame duck. Someday all the locker room dysfunction will come to light turning that time.

Don't forget the other big Nebraska fast food item, the Cheese Frenchie! You can get them at Don and Millies or Amigos.

Noted!

Not a bad depiction of the CornHuskers... I think running the ball and good defense will b a must to win 8+ games this season. Let the young QBs play with minimal pressure

I think considering we are third in returning production in FBS and that we won 5 games last year 6-6 would be a disappointment. 7 wins is my personal baseline for this year and I think maybe (if we’re even better than us fans think) we CAN win 9 or maybe even 10 games with this schedule. either way, I’m not sure I can wait 2 1/2 more months for the season to start! GBR

When we look at this 2024 schedule. IF we keep key positions healthy, we should be able to win 8-9. 10-11 is not out of the question if Dylan plays like he did in the spring game and doesn't turn the ball over. But if we get the injury bug at key positions or Dylan catches what Jeff Simms caught, then I think we win 6-7. Regardless, missing a bowl game with this schedule would be a monumental failure.

I feel bad for Nebraska. I just don't see any scenario where they would make a comeback. I've lived near there before, and I just can't imagine why recruits would want to go to school up there.

Go big red

I think you will see a DEFENSE that is the why we are going to have 9 maybe 10 wins. Dylan is a great asset but needs time before we say he is the reason for wins. The defense is going to make his life much easier taking off the pressure. Defense wins championships!! Can't score can't win.

Good episode

Love Mitch's comment about Rhule seems like he's awake 50 hours a day.. he seems just soo on top of everything. The retention is such a good sign I think. With riley and frost it was a revolving door. Like he said recruiting wasn't the problem, it was development and retention.. classes have always been top 25 ish

Nebraska needs a Dan lanning.

"......under an overpass.....my best (anything).....". Um, okay........

Nebraska hiring Mike Riley and expecting success dropped that once-majestic program down to levels of disrespect not seen since Rutgers. For me at least. I will never understand. Apparently he was a nice guy but he moreso he was the epitome of the ridiculous coaching carousel of mediocrity. I really like Rhule and hope he can hoist NE back to its heyday. I'm a Michigan alum.

Silly comments…this 2024 team goal is playoff birth. Huskers have had a BERY young program til this year. Should have won 10 games last 3 years in a row…but finally have a jr and SR class this year. Huskers are a top 15 team in total talent and nothing less than 9-10 wins is expected in 2024. Expect a BIG year!

Ask Nebraska fans who would win, 1997 Michigan or 1997 Nebraska.

Frost was the problem??? This all started when a greedy school and fan base fired a fantastic coach in Frank Solich. A few decent years here and there after that but overall downward trend ever since then.

These “will they happen” videos are excellent. Is it bad that as a Michigan fan I get a small amount of joy watching these videos knowing that Michigan just won the National Championship?😂🤷‍♂️
