Is Nebraska the ULTIMATE Big Ten SLEEPER in 2024? 

I think most Nebraska fans, myself included, are playing it coy. We've been burned before, so it's wait and see. Show me!

Great video. Thanks for covering the Huskers! Despite the tough losses over the last 7 years, I actually think this will be their breakthrough year. Their lines are the best we have had in 10 years. We finally have solid WR's and a talented QB. Our secondary and field goal unit concerns me. 7-9 wins should be a reasonable expectation. GBR!

We are always going undefeated until the season starts.. after the first game I can tell what season we are going to have.

Cautiously optimistic, I’d be happy with a winning record and a bowl game

Hell yes Go Big Red

Nebraska is always undefeated in the offseason. Sunshine pumping has mainly come from national pundits this time. Perhaps it’s really our time this year!

One bonus for always winning less games than you should, is you’re always primed to be hyped for a bounce back the next preseason lol

Watermelon Cherry Kool-aid chilled to perfection.

It's a tough call until you see them play, but last year we lost 4 games by 3 points and that team wasn't near as good as this team is, and the QB play was terrible. 9-3 is very possible. 10-2 isn't impossible. And our QB is RaioLA.

I believe NE is a LOT better than the national media believes. If they take care of business and it put it on Deion as they should- 9 wins is the floor especially with a solid senior transfer QB on the roster.

It would be awesome if Nebraska could be 7-0 and likely ranked top 10-15 at the time. Then keep it close at Ohio St. we wouldn’t drop far and be primed to make a playoff berth.

I'm not from Missouri, But Nebraska needs to " Show Me" that they belong in the elite group of BIG TEN teams

EVERYONE is picking Nebraska to be the surprise team in the B1G this year, so I don’t feel like they’re under the radar. Purdue and Rutgers are my picks

The biggest turnaround for NE is in the turnover area. Avoid the amount of turn overs like last season, 9-3 is possible.

💯 - 🎯. Nebraska. IU will improve noticeably.

Their easy schedule certainly helps Mat Rhule and the huskers make a major jump this year.

Nebraska is going to SURPRISE the college football world by going 7-6 this season!

I think 8-5 is pretty likely for this team and honestly would be the floor in my opinion. They should pretty easily secure 7 regular season wins with the cupcake schedule they got this year and then I think they will have an absolute fire under them to win a bowl for the first time in a decade. Now this team also absolutely has the potential to go 10 regular season wins as well. The only team I think anybody can confidently say is a loss is Ohio State. Everyone else on the schedule at this time looks extremely beatable for this roster. My expectations are 8 regular season wins, a bowl win, and a final record of 9-4 with them either ranked at the bottom of the top 25, or just barely outside it.

This Nebraska team has been hyped into oblivion. How on earth could they be a sleeper team? Everyone in the CFB world is picking them to win 8-10 games. Dozens of CFB personalities are calling for them to be a potential playoff team.

I got Nebraska going 9-3 this year, I do feel they beat the buffs this year by two touchdowns.

I think the schedule sets up really well for them. If we can stay healthy I believe we will be 7-0 starting. Only loss I think is inevitable is OSU, other than that I think we can win the rest, not we will, can win. I’m excited GBR!

A great season for me is 9-3 with wins against Colorado, Wisconsin, and Iowa and then a decent bowl win in something like the Gator Bowl.

What, no Golden Gophers, I always enjoy watching that game.

I feel you, but it’s another year new season either put up or shut up . Make a run for the playoffs you got it in you Big Red now Go !!!!

First time listener. That was a good show.

Jalen Lloyd is going to have a monster season.

Show me on the field!! Been burned before. One game at a time. GBR!!!!

Im a Nebraska fan and im saying show me until then im saying no.

separate topic: 1 other under-the-radar '24 spartan player: rush end jones, previously played at iu (and at oregon in '22, where jones didn't play). 6' 4" 255, jones knew msu defensive coach wilt from when both were at iu. jones (from LV Liberty HS) had 8 solo tackles and half of 1 TFL in '23 and 1 qb hit (vs msu, who else?). idk where jones stands on the 2-deep for '24 sparty d-linemen. jones was another late portal add for msu, signing w 'go-green' after msu's '24 spring game.

you should have mentioned the Minnesota game. That was the ultimate in giveaways.

I roll my eyes at this.....then I remember that Michigan was a meh 3-3 (Covid year)...but then picked up a hot shot 5 star QB.....sounds eerily familiar

separate topic: under-the-radar players, '24 sparty fb: rb lynch-adams: n.-s. runner. veteran rb w patience & vision. too underrated. late add (after '24 msu spring gm). rb tullis: not d. martinez-level, but is the next excellent tx rb in jSmith's offense. physicality, quicks. from elite-level hs fb district. if tullis learns playbook & pass-pro' well, could be rb2 by end of yr. te masunas: listed by spartans wire as te4, imo masunas might pass faleye in terms of being the #3 te for msu, in terms of receiving yards in '24. also underrated and from a hi-level hs fb region (tucson, az). during offseason practice video highlights of offense-vs-d' scrimmage-type settings, masunas could be seen catching passes (u know jSmith uses 4 or more TEs every game). te hook: 6' 6" 240, fast, receiver-1st te. from hi-level hs fb region (NorCal). like rb tullis: future-difference-maker. dt douse: legit, instant-starter import from GaTech. likely future-sunday player. dt ben "big worm" roberts: rs-soph, 3 yrs' eligibility. added mid-may. roberts was so highly thought of at oregon that "big worm" was highlighted by a ducks' fb pod' (april '24?) as a projected 2-deep d-lineman expected to get meaningful snaps in '24. cb ed woods: ik u already know about him. he's my fav' newcomer to '24 sparty fb. hopin' woods has a productive season and goes on to make a 2025 practice squad in NFL. tho woods is not a lock to make a 2025 NFL roster, he is 1 of many individual bigTen players I'll be tracking in '24. qb ryland jessee: 6' 4" 206. a name to file away for future reference. talented backup qb who, in '25, will be offered a bag to play in the sec or other p-4 conference. from legendary san diego-area hs fb program (la mesa helix) that has produced NFL players, dating back to early 80s, eg, former packers' NFL S, chuck cecil (who u know). more '24 sparty roster details: spartanswire.usatoday.com/lists/projecting-michigan-state-footballs-depth-chart-post-spring-edition/

Iam thinking a big season

They need a consistent field goal kicker

Considering the seasons they've had for the past decade, thier 6-6 ceiling will seem like a comeback.

I think they will have better year

Nebraska the ultimate sleeper team if Dylan play how he did and better in the spring game past 7 yrs Nebraska qb's looked bad in the spring and they definitely were one competent qb away from playing in the big10 championship

8 wins or better boys watch it. GBR

Aren’t they every year? 6-6 or 7-5.

win big red! no more gbr. WIN RED, WIN!!

Washington is the sleeper team everyone is expecting them to be like tcu but that’s not gonna happen

I'd be upset if they didn't get eight

👀

I’m staying at 7 bc they aren’t use to wining

Emmett “Smith” Johnson here here …..

Teddy Prochka!? lol. Try again

Mazzucca over Corcoran….

R1Gged. It's the rust belt money machine if anything... college ball is BS, the NFL needs to own their farm league teams like MLB.

Does Nebraska have the same talent as the top 5 of the conference?....the west coast teams are going to be all done by week 5 o 6 ...just way different having to win 50 plays a game vs win 5 or 6 plays a game....can sneak a win here or there but having to play and win in all 3 phases of the game...none of those west coast teams are built like that...

I stopped drinking red koolaid years ago. Nebraska will start a freshmen QB so I expect more TOs yet again and under performance. Ruhle is the coach but cool your jets.

Look at their schedule... I mean it doesn't get much easier than that the first 8 games. I have them going 8-4. Starting off hot, and then cooling down. Does Raiola start all 12 games? I doubt it. What true frosh QB in the Big 10 started all 12 games last year and stayed healthy? None. We'll see... That O-line still suspect.

Win the first five games, and win them convincingly and I'll start to believe. The last five years have been such a SS that my mentality is only sip the Kool-Aid and show me on the field with consistent, turnover and penalty free play. Talk is so so cheap. I'm hopeful but not holding my breath. In the final analysis, NU needs NFL quality talent to defeat teams with NFL quality players.

i'll go out and say 11-1,only loss is to iowa

No

Sure why not ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

As a TCU fan, I will root for Nebraska against CU, but I don't see Nebraska winning 7 games in the regular season. I would _like_ for them to, as I tend to root for the underdogs, but I don't see it. They are the kings of 1 possession losses. I think Nebraska's biggest mistake was leaving the Big12. They entered a new region and disintegrated as their core players left and couldn't find regional replacements. Since 2017, they've been 4-8, 4-8, 5-7, 3-5 (Covid), 3-9, 4-8, & 5-7. I can see 6-6 + a bowl game. As it is, it seems Nebraska is the Big 10's "Texas" as in *_"Is Nebraska back?"_* each year. 😆 (Not as in wealth or infamy.)

Sleeper team BS, better wake up first. No O line or D line, same old crap …….

Who? HaHaHaHaHa

Sleeper? Been comatose for 10 years!!!!!

WATCH the BLACKSHIRTS are back!!! Better Big Red machine. 10-3😮

Been kicked in the balls too many times . I’ll get excited when I see results. Myself I’d watch Rutgers.

2025 sleeper b1g team: ucla just received commit from '25 S Hudson, 247 sports composite top-300 overall, nationally; 247 sports composite #21 S, nationally. at this early stage, ucla '25 hs fb recruiting has more hi-impact guys than wisky or iowa: qbIamaleava.956, rbCox.905 & S hudson.880, + S Hudson has bigTen-ready frame: 6' 2" 175, & is from respected NorCal hs progrum, Pittsburg (w no 'h' on end) - same hs as qbRashada. big-picture: ucla hcFoster, in less than 5 months, has assembled the foundations of a '25 hs fb recruiting class which will likely end up being rated higher than any of cKelly's 6 recruiting classes. proof cKelly, as a hc at least, was a blowhard-fraud and a jerk IRL (per Ucla media & former Eagles' NFL players).💯

Stop. We do this every year then we are disappointed. Just shut up
