I had is going 8-4. And that was being very optimistic.I don't think there's a Husker fan out there that wouldn't take the W over the L. Some (myself included) were just shocked by the poor performance and are probably justified in feeling like this team should be happy to just go bowling this year.
Don't think 8+ wins for this squad is realistic this year, even with inevitable improvement. That being said, if things look much better after the CU game then we'll be able to chalk a lot of this up to rust/jitters/etc and rethink the pessimistic predictions.
I’d like to bump that down to 7-5. I just hope I don’t have to keep bumping it down as I fear I might have to.
