Put it into perspective. Last year they kicked off the season by losing by 19 points to UC Riverside and then followed up the loss by losing to Southern Utah.
They won 2 B1G games last year. They'll win some games in-conference this year, however, they don't have the size to compete with most of the Conference. Nevada took away their transition game for most of the game forcing them to chuck up a bunch of 3s, and then when Nebraska had built up a 10 point lead in the 2nd half, they went ice cold. Not a winning formula, but they're not as bad as last year.
