Do the Huskers Bounce Back?

Is this blowout a bad night before better times like Devaney's 47-0 loss to Oklahoma in 1968 or a foretelling of worse to come like Callahan's 70-10 to TTech in 2004?

That is what I"m wondering as well. If we bounce back (which is what I think will happen), then I chalk this loss as tOSU being primed for it, us being beat up, Tommie's injury, etc.

If we don't bounce back, well, I'll have to question some of my beliefs about the coaching staff and the program.

 
The wheels could very easily fall off for the rest of the season if this team is emotionally weak. We all think they are a different team, time will tell if they have the focus to keep the season rolling in the right direction. They could win the rest of the games, finish 10-2 and go to a decent bowl. Step in the right direction, per se, compared to last season.

Minnesota's hard nosed running style of football could be a real problem for NU. After getting thumped so bad by OSU I am concerned. I expect it to be a very close game.

 
If Tommy is out against Minnesota we will lose next week. If he is healthy it will be a dogfight. Maryland's perimeter run game will give us fits but don't have much of a pass game. Should win that one. Iowa will be a dogfight regardless of either teams record. This game will be for pride for both programs and have no impact on the big ten title game.

I think we win 2 of our next 3 and total 9 wins this season with a 9-4 record.

Much better than last year but here we are again with 9 wins and a national televised meltdown.

Hope we finish strong in recruiting so we can start to break this cycle.

Worse to come. Riley hasn't shown any different to believe otherwise.

So I guess you didn't watch the last half of last season, the bowl game, and the first 7 games of this season. They went 10-2 till this week since the Purdue loss, that was probably more crushing defeat than last night was for the team.

Yes. I'm hopeful and hope the team wins out. Just stating historically Riley hasn't.
