The Nebraska football program is in a position where it has to build trust. After years of being the ol’ reliable, the program is (un)comfortably lodged in prove-it territory. “Oh you’re back you say? Riiiiiiight.” That’s been the approach of pundits and opposing fans (and even Husker fans) every time we make a claim that Nebraska is on an upward trajectory.
That’s kind of the same reaction the Big Red Cobcast has been getting upon its return to Corn Nation. I completely get it in both cases. Nebraska has continually let you down, whether it be a loss to Purdue, or another loss to Purdue, or yet another loss to Purdue.
