Getting to 6-6 isn't going to be a huge problem in my opinion.

Because of matchup issues I see Nebraska finishing like this.

Minnesota - Win - No way Minny wins this game, no way. They can't throw the ball and in the Wisconsin game we still held Stave under 50% when he came in throwing 63%

Northwestern - Tossup - I can't say for sure either way on this. Their offense really isn't that good, but their defense is pretty solid. I am leaning toward NU on this though.

Purdue - Win - Duh

Michigan State - Win - Mike Riley is notorious for winning a game he shouldn't. Happened all the time at Oregon State.

Rutgers - Tossup - This is the worst matchup on paper for us that I see on the remaining schedule.

Iowa - Win - Contain Canzeri, win the game. Luckily our Rush defense is our strength.

Iowa and Michigan State are losses......end of story.

 
I'll drink the big red kool aid all damn day if I have to. You can think I'm nuts but I really think we'll end the second half of the season really well.

Now pass me some more of that Red drink. I have a thirst to quench

If only games were played on paper. Then you would be right!

I really think we beat Michigan state too, have felt that way all year. Don't know why, I just think everything will come together for us in that game. Hopefully they are still undefeated when it happens

 
Iowa already owns the head to head with Wisconsin, and Wisconsin just handed us our 2nd conference loss.

Iowa would have to meltdown to not win the division.

 
You know what, I like our chances, we've managed to lose three, maybe four games, in which the chances of us losing were less than that.

Haha believe me all of us hope that your "what if" is true, we want to see the best from this Husker team. However the odds give us a 2.5% chance of winning out

For some crazy reason despite their record and current rank (7th AP, 4th Coaches poll) what if Nebraska could at least put up a fight against MSU? Even though they (MSU) have looked sluggish at times this year they're still fairly good. If we could give them a game for me that would a) be awesome and b) mean a lot. My gut just says this team actually doesn't get blown up by MSU or Northwestern and gives them a ball game. I could be wrong but this is just what my gut tells me.

I see that MSU's currently ranked 56th in overall defense. Better than ours yes and definitely not up to par with what they've had in the past but they're still a top 10 team. Playing well against them might open up even the stingiest of anti Riley supporters eyes. Probably mine too. One can hope.

Goodness, I never cease to be amazed by the fans who go berzerk on game day after a loss of any kind and by the following Tuesday, are already becoming almost positive the team will win, win and win again starting with the very next game. Nothing has really changed about the schedule. If anything, the competition is tougher looking today than in mid August crystal balls. The bottom of the big ten is better than people have given it credit for and the top may not be quite so incredibly strong as some have been thinking. This is not surprising as most analysts would say teams are generally more commparable in overall talent than 20 years ago. At this point, there are no more reasons to be optimistic about winning games in the second half of the season than before the season began. Arguably, there are any number of reasons to be more pessimistic.

As a team, we are in grave jeopardy of losing confidence, faith and trust in the coaches, the players, etc. Teams that are doing well are gaining confidence and strength and teams that have struggled almost always continue to struggle.

 
It wouldnt surprise me at all if they didn't win another game. Not trying to be a downer but just about everything is going wrong right now.

I hope this is a defense mechanism to protect from further disappointment. They should win 2 more games at least.

 
Look where not beating anyone till the pass D improves. I don't care if minny qb can't throw 2 yards our D backs will make him look like first round material.

Title should be "what if our D figures it out"

 
I think the mood changes drastically. Depends how we win, but if we win out and finish with 9 wins with how we started, people will be ecstatic.

The one positive to our current situation is that we have lost 4 games by 11 points... we are a few plays from being undefeated.
