Huskers in 2019....

I think Nebraska has the potential to win every game on the schedule, but the likelihood of having the consistency to actually do that is not good. I think there are at least eight teams that have the potential to beat us. Three or four probably will.

Going from 4-8 to 10-2 is a massive jump.  But this schedule got massively easier and we are about to be a lot damn better from start to finish.

 
8-4.  10-2 would be incredible, but I certainly don't see it happening unless the D makes massive strides and special teams are no longer a liability.

 
I think we will make a bowl, but it still feels like a couple injuries could really derail the season, particularly if it was Martinez.   I just don't think we have the depth yet.

ONE team stands in the way.  The Huskers themselves.  They stood in their own way all of last year.  If they would stop beating themselves, we’re having a bowl game discussion.  This is a good progression, if you think about it. They went from being beaten, to beating themselves.  Once they get out of their own way, watch out!

 
This will do nothing but build the right kind of work ethic and expectations amongst the players in the program.  I would love to know Greg Bells feelings on how things have worked out.


I liked something else that happened in 2018. This staff didn't try to appease someone just because he was the JUCO recruit who was supposed to be a big deal. When they saw Ozigbo was performing better in practice, they quickly in the season expanded his role. It may have chased someone off, but ... that's not the worst deal, is it? Not when you're trying to build a certain kind of culture.

Running backs coach Held delivered one of the better quotes of last offseason when he said, "We're not playing for participation medals. We're trying to win championships. It's the guys that are getting it done that are going to play. All right. We're not going to say, 'All right, you're getting five reps this game so your parents feel good in the stands.' We're trying to win games. So I got to find the guys that are going to go out there and make plays and get it done."

College football's 10 most-hyped teams for 2019

Why hype is high: The only team with a losing record inside our Top 10 Most-Hyped Teams list for 2019, Nebraska was one of college football's hottest programs exiting the 2018 season and seemed to gain its footing under first-year Scott Frost after a disappointing 0-6 start. The overtime loss at Northwestern, a game that seemingly slipped away late, was the turning point. Nebraska won four of its final six games, the setbacks coming by five points at Ohio State and three at Iowa. The Huskers, who return almost everyone of importance, are already garnering Top 20 love according to one Way-Too-Early ranking and have a somewhat favorable slate by Big Ten standards (projected two games vs. Top 25 teams).

Ohio State was Ohio State before Urban Meyer and they will be Ohio State after as well. We won 4 games last year, we have no business looking down our noses at anyone. Its an uphill battle for us. Thing is, we have the staff to do it. 

 
Every game is hard to win. Every game. 

Lets just try and win them. 

There are no “gimmies” anymore. Just gotta win. When we get to a place with the right players, yeah, we should win. But every game is hard to win. 

Its not 1993 anymore. We just gotta win and try hard as hell to win them. Period.

 I imagine someone in 1998 said Nebraska was Nebraska before Tom Osborne and will be Nebraska after as well. Then the next 20 years happened. 

Many other programs have thought the same. USC post Carroll, Florida post Meyer, Oklahoma post Switzer, Texas post Mack Brown, on and on
