LINCOLN, Neb. -- A time will come, if Nebraska (5-0) keeps winning in the fashion it has through the first five games of 2016, when it’s no longer fair to the Cornhuskers or their coaches to compare the path of this group to the team last year or the regime that preceded coach Mike Riley’s arrival.
That time is not now.
Even the Huskers, renewed by positive energy in the program as they navigate a bye week ahead of an Oct. 15 visit to Indiana, marvel somewhat at the turnaround on display in the first month of this season.
