NEBRASKA has been consistently good, but not great under Bo Pelini. They have won either 9 or 10 games in each of Pelini's first 5 seasons as their head coach. They have also lost exactly 4 games in each of said seasons.

 

2008:o..9-4

2009:. 10-4

2010:. 10-4

2011:o..9-4

2012:o..9-4

 

In addition to Nebraska, the only other Division I-A teams that have won at least 9 games in each of the past 5 seasons are Alabama, Boise State, and Oregon.

I see another mediocre top-25 season in their future. Respectable, but not what the red faithful are looking for. Another season like that and you've got to wonder if Bo keeps his job - not that he deserves to lose it, but expectations and tradition are high.

After beating Purdue on the road by a score of 44-7 today, Nebraska is 5-1 after 6 games at the halfway mark.

The Cornhuskers play Minnesota on the road next week, and then have 3 huge games against Northwestern, Michigan, and Michigan State on November 2nd, 9th, and 16th, respectively.

I don't see them getting much better as long as Pelini is the coach.

Why not? All it takes is a good QB. (look at FSU, Texas, USC...) heck look at UCF!

The defense played well the last 4-5 games (minus Iowa). I think they're setup to be great the next year or two.

Pelini can get this team over the hump. I understand why the outside of the world do not like him, but that is all media hype and ESPN getting views/clicks. Overall he is a good coach that is a proven winner. It's sort of ironic that it's the way most people think of Joe Flacco. The winningest QB in the NFL the past 6 seasons and yet most don't think of him as a top 10 QB...

Pelini wins 9 games a year recruiting to a cold midwestern city. He had a QB for 4 years that 9 teams recruited as a safety. Not only that but we're now in a semi-weak division in a down conference.

To each his own, but I'm okay with the coach.

GREAT win by the Huskers this week and hopefully many more wins this fall!

Obviously you know more about your team than me. Just an outside perspective here.

I disagree about Pelini being a good coach. He's been awful against good teams since he's been at Nebraska. He's 5-19 against teams that end up with at least 9 wins. His recruiting classes are typically in the 20's for a national ranking. And, he doesn't seem to have the temperament required for a big time coach.

However, my perception is from the outside. Do you think the offense is going to take off anytime soon? How is the coaching staff?

You're right about a weak division, other than

Mich State. I've always liked Nebraska, especially when they ran the triple option, so good luck.

Hey, David.

Yes, it was indeed a great (and much-needed) win for the Cornhuskers AND Bo Pelini over a solid, ranked S.E.C. team.

I was really nervous at the end of the game, when Georgia was threatening to take the lead before the Blackshirts stopped them.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
