2022 Record - Call Your Shot

[knapplc]

Is this too early? It seems like it's too early. We don't even have a RB coach and we're probably not done raiding the portal, and for sure not done having guys leave. 

But whatever. There's nothing else to do.

Here's your 2022 Husker Football Schedule in all its glory. Who do we beat? How many wins do we end up with after this? Call your shot and win eternal glory.

The bad news? Another huge losing streak. The good news? The longest winning streak of Frost's Nebraska tenure. Twice!

And a bowl game!  Hip-Hip...

Wait, are not doing the hip hip thing anymore?

 

[Red Five]

You should do one of these every month to gauge the ebbs and flows of the offseason.  I would think by the week of the first game everyone will have convinced themselves we are a 9 or 10 win team.

 

[commando]

we are a 3 win team until we prove otherwise.

 

[Red Five]

we are a 3 win team until we prove otherwise.

I gave Frost the benefit of the doubt and gave us 5 wins.

 

[knapplc]

Well ACKSHWALLY he averages 3.75 wins per season so...

 

[commando]

Well ACKSHWALLY he averages 3.66 wins per season so...

are you saying i need to change my sig?

 

[LumberJackSker]

Nebraska could be bad and still win 6 games and go to bowl game against this schedule. Then the AD is in a tough spot on whether or not you keep Frost. 

 

[knapplc]

are you saying i need to change my sig?

You caught me before I could finish my edit. It's 3.75 wins per year. I forgot a year in my calculations. Doh!

What's crazy is, in a 12-game stretch between 10/20/18 and 10/5/19, Frost went 8-4. Flip that into a whole season and this fan base would be ecstatic. 

 

[B.B. Hemingway]

A 6-1 start would be amazing, but I'll go with 5-2 through the first 7 games. I think Purdue is going to be pretty decent.

I'll go with 7-5, with the ceiling being 9-3, and the floor 4-8.

[MyBloodIsRed16]

if schools like Northwestern can have a good year every few years I don't see why Nebraska can't.  I just have to think they are due for an 8 win season at least.  

 

[B.B. Hemingway]

Well ACKSHWALLY he averages 3.75 wins per season so...

Yeesh. And he's still our coach.... And I'm not even mad that he's still our coach. 

 

[NebraskaHarry]

I'm going with 8 wins for the middle. Could be 6, could be 10. 

 

[Decked]

New QB/system could be heaven or hell

Need to see OL

Think defense takes step back, O scores more points, special teams is better. 6-7 wins. 

 

[Cdog923]

If they get over 5, it'll be a miracle.
