Nebraska athletic director Bill Moos thinks the Cornhuskers should win their most games in years during the 2021 season.
According to Sam McKewon, Moos said that a “realistic” expectation for the upcoming season is for Scott Frost to win eight or nine games. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
The last time the Cornhuskers won that many games was back in 2016 under Mike Riley.
Asked how many wins would be a success in 2021, Nebraska AD Bill Moos cites tough schedule. “It would be great to get into that 8-9 win” range. Calls that a “realistic” expectation. #huskers

I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but there aren’t eight realistic wins on Nebraska’s schedule. Illinois, Buffalo, Michigan State, Purdue and Southeastern Louisiana are the only games I would expect the Cornhuskers to win this upcoming season.
Assuming they win all those games, Nebraska would then need to find three wins against Oklahoma, Northwestern, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa.

Best case scenario, they win one of those games and finish the season 6-6. It’s more realistic they drop a game they’re expected to win and finish in the 4-8 range.
I’m not saying any of this to be mean. As I’ve said many times, I love Nebraska fans, but we need to live in reality. Expecting Scott Frost to win nine games in 2021 is laughable.
It’s just not going to happen.

Fans deserve better, and I sincerely mean that. I can’t imagine what it must be like treading water to stay alive year after year when you’re such a historic program.
Huge thank you to everybody who made my trip to Nebraska an unforgettable experience.
The Cornhuskers truly have the best fans in America. I felt at home, and lost count of all the free drinks we were given.

Now that the game is over and Wisconsin won, I want to say I am blown away by the hospitality of Nebraska fans.
They won’t let me pay for a drink. I was told they’re the nicest fans in the sport, and they didn’t disappoint.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are an all-class fanbase.
