Nebraska was 13th in passing offense in the Big Ten in 2023, ahead of only Iowa. Our beloved Huskers were 129th nationally, ahead of Iowa, Navy, Army and Air Force.
To say the passing offense was wretched would be a compliment.
It is typical when doing a season preview that you look at last year and get an idea of returning production. But going back to look at 2023, you have to realize how abysmal the offense was.
Nebraska’s passing offense averaged 135.9 yards per game. The 2022 passing offense averaged 220.8 yards per game, and in 2021, they averaged 266.
