You could say everything went better than expected for Nebraska football last Saturday night in Madison. The Huskers went into Camp Randall Stadium and covered the spread. Even if you’re not a gambling person, that’s significant. It hadn’t happened all season, so Big Ten West favorite Wisconsin marked the first time they lost by less than they were predicted to. That’s the main takeaway that’s got me hopeful for this Saturday against Northwestern.
The visit to the Wildcats marks the third of the five road games that make Nebraska’s schedule one of the toughest in the country.
