August 31 Next Saturday the Huskers play their first game and the opponent is Florida Atlantic. The game will be on paid TV...
In an earlier forcast of the season I predicted that they would not win more than 9 games.
But after a lot of reading and listening to sports shows I am going to lower that prediction to not winning more than 7 games. Now as a long time fan, I hope and will cheer for them to do better ...but...
The quarterback is inexperienced.
The wide receivers are an unknown.
The offense line needs to improve.
The coach kicked his best experienced short yardage running back off the team.
The tight ends seem to be the best of the offense but can the QB get the ball to them with a line which might not be able to pass block ...
The best offensive threat will be the absolutely great field goal kicker who has a range of over 50 yards.
The Defensive line is good and will have to carry the load on that side of the ball.
Anyway ... I will cheer for them .... and maybe after the first game things will look better..........
