Hot off the press: Nebraska's football team has struggled in the Big Ten more than most anyone could've imagined since the Huskers joined the conference during the summer of 2010.
We forever search for reasons. Bottom line, Nebraska's roster wasn't fully equipped for the Big Ten's overall size and physicality when it moved from the Big 12. You'll never convince me otherwise. In some ways, the Huskers are still adjusting in that regard, especially in the wake of the program's steep decline from 2015 to 2017.
"I just feel like it's such a different league than the Big 12," says former Nebraska assistant Mike Ekeler (2008-10), who coached in the Big 12 last season at Kansas.
