Nebraska Football: Predicting the Huskers’ 2022 schedule

There were few teams in the Big Ten that had worse records than the Nebraska football team. Indiana was one of them.

That’s why, like the Huskers, the Hoosiers are going to be playing with a coaching staff that is quite new and a ton of new players at positions of importance.

Now that we’ve moved past the part of the schedule where the non-conference cupcakes lived and the Huskers have lost their first game of the year, predicting just what’s going to happen is going to get harder.

On the one hand, Indiana was 2-10 and didn’t win a single conference game last year. On the other, losses tend to snowball for Scott Frost and the Nebraska football program.

Is Indiana bad enough that even if the Cornhuskers are a bit rattled, they can still pick themselves up and right the ship? Think Northwestern in 2021.

The Huskers were coming off two tough losses to OU and Michigan State and people wondered if they would lay another egg against the Wildcats. Instead, Nebraska got its only conference win of the season 56-7 and looked poised to really turn the thing around.

Indiana might not be as good as last year’s Northwestern team was. Certainly the team isn’t as disciplined as Pat Fitzgerald programs tend to be.

I think Casey Thompson and a Huskers’ offense that was largely bottled up the week before gets to take out its frustrations out on the Hoosiers.

Nebraska 38, Indiana 20 (Huskers are 4-1, 2-0 in the Big Ten)
