Nebraska Football And The Expectations Game
The Nebraska football team is coming into their game against the Indiana Hoosiers ranked in the top 10 for the first time in years.
It should not come as a surprise then that there are plenty of people who think the “pressure” of that ranking is going to cause the Huskers to take a step backwards. Some national networks have even decided the Nebraska football team is the one most likely to get upset in the Big Ten this week.
Those who are still doubting what Mike Riley is building aren’t crazy. This team lost games to Illinois and Purdue last year. The Huskers have a tendency to play some of their worst football against opponents that just aren’t that good.
