Handicapping the 2018 Huskers Based on Recruiting Rankings
The national sports media has settled on a consensus narrative about the 2018 Nebraska Cornhuskers. It is that Scott Frost will lead Nebraska to a return to national relevance but it won’t happen in 2018.
ESPN.com says “A 6-6 record and return to the postseason might be a more realistic expectation for Frost in Year 1.”
Sports Illustrated rates Frost’s hiring as the best in the country this year, but hesitates to mention much about next year, hedging its bet with “Frost, with far fewer resources, took UCF from 0–12 the year before his arrival to 6–7 to 12–0, and if that timeline is any indication, Nebraska should be competing for its division within a year or two.”
