Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

not sure any head coach is comfortable up 11 with that much time left

I know I wasn't and most Husker fans have seen bigger leads squandered in the past 4 or 5 seasons

if the person was watchng, they would have noticed that the Husker O-line was getting little push in the run game and not protecting the QB in the pass game
they also would have noticed the defense was giving up big plays and plenty of yardage

not most folk's definition of cruising

heck, any call is a bad call if it doesn't work

there's a pretty good chance, looking at the defensive performance, that if they would have kicked the ball deep, the Wildcats would have still scored but just put another 50 yards on the board

watching Big football in 60.............

cruising the the start of the 3rd quarter because of a scramble broken play big play pass for about 60 yards to set up a TD
then a fumble by Northwestern to give the Huskers the ball

then a 46 yard run for a TD to give them a quick 14 points that erased  being behind at the half

so, 3 big plays that were very uncommon and they're cruising

nothing sustained either side of the ball

So, North Dakota and Georgia Southern, should be wins, ha.  Oklahoma, almost not possible.   Indiana on 10/1 at home, a loss there and ....

An unimpressive win there might trip it also.  Rutgers/Purdue/Ill, should be three wins, any mediocre+ team now should be 6-2.   Then probably four losses in a row.

Yeah, I think after 10/1 ....

I tried to map out their numbers using the current projection systems.

unless something drastic happens, they look to be notable favorites five games, and probably slight underdogs in three more. Granted, those systems aren’t really built to account for the funk that program is in.

They'll go like 2-2 against Indiana, Rutgers, Purdue and Illinois.

I was going to say... Rutgers, Purdue and Illinois are better than UNL right now.

At times, our judgment of a team after a single game is inaccurate.

At Siesta Key beach now.  Could start raining at any time, but has held off so far.  Captain Curt's opens at 11, so I'll be heading there soon.

That's a great spot on the key.
