They’ll be closer to 1 and 6 than 6 and 1
2 obvious losses and one or two more because they are Nebraska.
OU, NW, and Michigan, at a bare minimum. Could easily be Illinois and Mich St too.
Yeah I think their fans don't necessarily hate us the most, but they can justify losing to established solid programs like Wisconsin and Iowa (puke), while losing to us 3 of the last 4 years hurts especially because it is a greater sign of their fall from grace.
They'll be 4-3 at best, probably 3-4 and awfully beat up with a zero week game and not having a bye yet, they lay two very physical teams in NW and Michigan before coming here. I'm pretty sure that Covid number was closer to 30 when we went to Nebraska. That's the amazing thing about that win and the Purdue win, we had abou60% of our roster available. As long as we are rent free in Frost and Brohm's heads we are going to keep beating them
With their recent records, they must be losing to some other "bad" teams.
When MN first beat Nebraska, was that 2013? I stormed the field.
That is an impressive level of homerism right there. The way Nebraska has played in recent years I don't think they can take anything for granted.....and there is almost zero chance they get through those 7 games at 6-1.
I'd be embarrassed if we lost to Nebraska at this point.
True, I think Nebraska has ability to turn it around
if they lose to Illinois, 10 losses is on the table
According to Rivals going back to 2018 Nebraska has not recruited a 5 star. Roughly 30 4 star players with a recruiting ranking between 15-21. Pretty decent but nothing in the top 10.
I'll never forget the 4th and 10 play action Limey called for the TD. That win made a lot of people believe in Kill/Claeys, that play changed the game, you could argue it was an era defining play
Good research! If you look at that 2022 class -- you can see the losses are catching up to them and their recruiting is starting to suffer for it. They aren't able to just land a class full of 4-5 stars every year just because they are Nebraska anymore!
Minnesota, Michigan, and Illinois were both founding members of the Big Ten, in 1896. Ohio State joined in 1912.
stroke the post
That's still only 20 meetings. Would think they've at least played 70-80 times ...
Big 10 has never had a round robin football schedule, always somebody off the schedule. Perhaps back in the day when Minneapolis and Columbus were the two locations furthest apart in the Big 10 the train trip was too far.
I've been to Nebraska twice, both losses, but still one of my favorite road trips
Minimum of three losses … easily four.
