So, here we are. Nebraska dives head first into Big Ten play this Saturday against No. 2-ranked Michigan (yes, I know they already opened the season at Minnesota).
For a Husker team that’s had plenty of struggles in head coach Matt Rhule’s first season, this will be a monumental task. Nebraska is 2-2 and coming off a pair of wins over lesser opponents. The Huskers have a quarterback controversy. They have shown glimpses but really haven’t established an identity as of yet.
Michigan, on the other hand, is more than established. The Wolverines have one of the country’s best defenses top to bottom and an offense that hasn’t had much problem moving the ball — although I wouldn’t call them a juggernaut by any means.
