Nebraska Cornhuskers

In his second season with the Nebraska Cornhuskers football program, Coach Matt Rhule has been working to turn the team around. However, the team has a pedestrian 5-4 record so far this season. Despite this, Nebraska still has the opportunity to make a bowl game, but they face a challenging schedule ahead with upcoming games against USC, Wisconsin, and Iowa. The team has faced tough losses in recent games to ranked opponents, which has slowed them down. Freshman Dylan Raiola leads the team at quarterback, with Isaiah Naylor as his top target and Dante Dowdell leading the rushing attack. Defensively, Nebraska under coordinator Tony White has been strong, allowing an average of 21.1 points per game and ranking 11th in yardage allowed. Overall, Nebraska has a power ranking of 68, with a strong defense ranked 18th in the nation, but a struggling offense ranked 97th. They have a record of 5-4 this season.
