Nebraska down 14-0 to a MAC team
- Thread starter ClassOf02
- Start date
Finished with a worse record last year than Eastern Michigan. Interesting....
Means nothing. Lots of people objected to rhe previews voting Rutgers at the bottom of the B1G this year based on last year's results, remember? NIU will be better than EMU this year.
The MAC might be fun to watch this year. I might be watching a good amount of MACtion.
Would've been a good year to beat the Huskers if we weren't so hapless ourselves
I see your point, but I would not say that it means nothing. I think it demonstrates that we might be able to hang in there with Nebraska this year. Unless you think Northern Illinois is vastly superior to EMU, I think its a valid conclusion to make.
So Nebraska will figure something out and won't throw those against us. They made good plays on the ball because everything was in front of them. We just don't play that way. Hope to rely on fumbles instead.
Funny how it seems like we should have a chance against a big name school and yet we don't appear to have any at all.
I hope Nebraska pulls it out because they may have motivation to play their best football after a loss to a MAC team.
Well... I would rather be the only one. our game is over and done with... There's... may be over soon...
So you're saying they'll be debuting their new star backup QB against us next week?
When are you people going to stop believing the transitive property applies to sports? You'd go broke betting that way ...
That being said, watching Nebraska's QB give up two pick-sixes doesn't bode well for them. Or their fan base. Without them, they escape a scare.
And as an aside, although NIU is not on a high right now, they have some tradition -- a major bowl, something we haven't done -- and were not looking for their first win against a P5 team.

Jerry Kill coached at Northern Illinois before Minnesota. Maybe he makes a phone call or two to DeKalb.
Their backup is Patrick O'Brien, a red shirt frosh who was 2016's #7 pro style qb prospect. Hasn't played a down, which is a headscratcher to me. Elite 11 finalist along with Russo. Legit 4* talent, over 2,800 yds and 32 Td's with a completion ratio over 70% in HS.
That's the narrative isn't it? NIU is a good team. 5-7 last year and went to OT with EMU, who went to a bowl last year. Did not beat a team with a regular season winning record. Lost to FCS Western Illinois.
Got blown out by a crappy Boston College and by Notre Dame today.
Meanwhile, our fans harp on how we were the first P5 team EMU beat. Maybe EMU will be good this year. NIU is a crappy team. Likely even better than NIU. So we all know what that means. Nothing. Every game is a new day.
Every game is a new day. i care little about ladt year but know what i see on the field i watched the nu game, niu was their better, faster, hungrier, every bit as athletic and WELL COACHED
