Great rush defense. A limited offense.
That seems to be the equation for these 2023 Huskers. It was a winning formula against Louisiana Tech...but is it a winning formula in the Big Ten? Maybe not against the elite teams in the East division. Michigan comes to Lincoln next week and should be heavy favorites. But after that? Iowa’s offense is arguably even worse than it was last season. Purdue is rebuilding. Illinois looks awfully inconsistent. Northwestern is embroiled in scandal, as is Michigan State. Can this team muddle through to get to six or seven wins? It could be rough, but I wouldn’t count out them out either.
