Last year Nebraska screamed out of the gates to a 7-0 record and went on to lose 4 of their last 6 games. As a result the Special Teams Coach, Defensive Coordinator were let go and the Safeties coach moved on to a DC position at another school. Additionally the starting QB and remaining players from the previous staff graduated and the current staff has moved to an offensive scheme more in line with their concepts.
What does Nebraska have to do this year in order for you to feel the program is moving forward? Here are some suggestions.
Win more than 10 game?
Win the division?
Win the Conference?
Have a top 10 recruiting class?
Be in the top 10 in the nation of Offense and Defense?

First I would like to win the division. Next I would like to see an offense that operates mostly mistake free, that owns the line of scrimage in both pass and run plays, that can sustain drives and deliver points. Third I would like to see the Blackshirts go back to at least being respected if not feared.
I noted in a Wisconsin article about who was the biggest threat to the badgers getting back to conference championship game, out of five guys interviewed only one even mentioned Nebr. as one of three and the rest said Minn, Northwestern, and Iowa. This is unacceptable.
Finally I would like to see Nebr. get back to blowing out those teams we should blow out. No one ever brings up but I always thought one of the keys to success during the glory years was that the starters often sat and watched 80% of the second halves of games saving wear and tear on their bodies and giving backups needed and beneficial live reps. Good for team morale also as everyone can buy into the success.
Like everyone else I want to see the Husker win all their games. Is that realistic? We can dream big. I would like to see the Huskers play good sound football on both sides of the ball to include special teams. To watch Huskers play a complete game where it looks like good, clean football.
I would like to see the husker win the Division.
Want to see the Husker Defense earn their Blackshirts. Get back to smash mouth defense.
Play tOSU tight, no blow out, who knows even an upset.
I would like to see DPE return to the success he had his first year.
I would like to see more HuskerSpot peeps show up on chat and post on the discussion post.
Buck you going to show up?
Anyone else?
