Man, you are a tool who has nothing better to do than to hang out and troll on another college football team’s board. You have no clue what you are talking about.
This looks like a 3 win team
- Thread starter NUCat320
- Start date
We are a different team w/Marty at QB, but to get to 6 wins, we will have to win all the close games. Can't lose the turnover battle to win those games. That includes Nebraska, Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue (maybe Minnesota). Just can't see us blowing anyone out this year, besides Ohio.
Of course, I hope you are right. That's plausible if Marty's injury isn't severe and he avoids subsequent injuries. Nagging voice in my head says "one half of good QB play and defensive play against a suck team". Duke is worse than "a lot of other teams on our schedule".
With Marty as starter from day 1 we’d be 2-1. (MSU loss was on the D, not the O.) We would have a much better chance at producing points, reducing turnovers and controlling some clock with Marty which could get us 6 wins even with this defense. However, we’re one winnable game in the hole now, and Marty is hurt so unless we see a major turnaround like we did in 2018, we’re in for 2-4 wins.
That's exactly what my psychiatrist said! But seriously, my eyes show me a line that can't block and only one LB that can tackle
Hunter should be the emergency QB if Marty cant play. Hilinski needs to play instead of Hunter.
Hunter may look good in practice or 7 on 7 but he flips out on saturdays.

Illinois looked Ok against Maryland. Please tell that to their fans who are already calling for Bert’s head. Comical.
Will that correct the line that can't block or the LBs that are out of position ?
Nebby will never be any good with Frosty at the helm. We could lose to them this year, but they will still be a laughingstock.
Can't get much closer (in regulation) than losing on a last second field goal, against a decent MD team. I'll ask you the same as I've asked the others - If we played ILL on Saturday, the way we played Duke and the way they played MD, who wins? Maybe NU? Maybe we beat who was heretofore considered the worst/second worst in B1G? That's encouraging.
I do think we will improve. A lot depends on Marty's injury. But Marty isn't Dan Persa. He can't carry the whole team. We need the defense to improve a lot or it will be a long season. That "easy schedule" we talked about doesn't look so easy now. Can you see us favored against any B1G team on our schedule if we played them this Saturday?
We've seen this movie before. Sometimes it ends well (2016-18), the hero gets the girl, the villain gets the jail cell. Other times, not
It took a historic decimation by Nebraska leading to unspoken coaching changes, and they’re dealing with major qb injury, but this looks like a classic NU team that looks awful in September and less-awful after that. They just started two weeks late.
There’s not an unbeatable team on schedule, including next week’s opponent.
