Nebraska

This is literally the only program that is more disappointing than us right now. In about three weeks, we may own the category outright, though.

Talked to a guy at my kids tball game yesterday. Big Nebraska guy - dad and cousin both were starting QB's or something back in the day. Insider apparently. CSB, I know. Anyways, I asked him about what was going on there - said basically a mutiny by some of the seniors on the team who were loyal to prior coach. Toxic locker room situation, players quitting on the team, etc. Ex coach has convinced several players to transfer away as well. Dude I talked to believes once these seniors are gone and everyone else has bought in, they'll see some success. He doesn't expect it this year though. Take it for what it's worth...

This. Frost will have them doing well soon. Nebraska has a player problem right now.

In other words, the same thing that happened when Bobby Ross came here.

Okay Paul, let's not get carried away. The kid had a good game, but his team is 1-6.

His QB rating against MN was almost 200 - nearly 20 points higher than Ohio St's QB rating against MN. If he can fix the interceptions, NB won't lose many more.

Yeah, if he can play like that every game, they'll be great. Let's take a look at what information we have that indicates how frequently he might play like that, though, before projecting that he will. Saying "his ceiling is sky high" is fine, he's now shown that he has the capability to play like a man possessed. That's not really what Paul is saying.

And before we go making comparisons to Ohio State's mighty QB, consider that they just lost by 29 points to Purdue, and that Minnesota is the only team in the power 5 that is winless in conference play.

The guy has an upside, but this is not some kind of sure fire sign that he's going to hit it.

As for how many more NB will lose, they have two more wins in them.
