CFN 2022 Nebraska Preview

By the way, the 2016 Nebraska team – two years before Scott Frost took over – went 9-4 and added to a run of nine straight bowl appearances. At any other big-time program the guy who goes 15-29 in four years with four straight division finishes of fifth or worse would’ve been launched so hard. Dan Mullen almost won the 2020 SEC Championship at Florida, came within a two-point conversion of maybe beating Alabama early last year, and then he had a bad month … gone. Clay Helton lost to Stanford in early September, and USC deep-sixed its season to get rid of him and move on. Michigan fans couldn’t try pushing Jim Harbaugh out the door hard enough before he pulled off that 2021 season, and Texas types had to be held back after Steve Sarkisian’s team melted down against Oklahoma and lost to Kansas. College football coaches at huge programs don’t survive a few big losses, much less four years of them and a place like Nebraska. And yet …

 

Keeping Scott Frost around to give him another shot makes total sense in a college football head coaching hiring and firing world gone mad.

CFN 2022 Nebraska Offense/Defense Preview

There will be a more diverse and dynamic offense at Nebraska this season. New offensive coordinator Mark Whipple has been around the block several times – he helped make Kenny Pickett a star at Pitt last year – but it’s not like the Nebraska offense was that big a problem.The Huskers were second in the Big Ten in total offense, first in yards per completion, the passing game was consistent, and the rushing attack wasn’t awful. However, they couldn’t put the biscuit in the basket – they didn’t score enough, failing to hit 30 points against everyone but Northwestern and Fordham.

CFN 2022 Nebraska Keys To The Season

at Iowa, Nov. 25
You want to see the cliché of Lucy pulling the football in action? That’s what Iowa has done to Nebraska over the last four years in the Scott Frost era, and it’s been even worse than that. There have been late heroics, a few meltdowns, and blowout, and overall, lots of pain over a seven-game losing streak. If nothing else, winning in Iowa City for the first time since 2014 would be very, very cathartic. The schedule is light enough that Nebraska really and truly should have bowl eligibility locked up before the finishing kick of the season – at least, it had better. Now it has to finally get past this Iowa problem.

CFN 2022 Nebraska Cornhuskers Season Prediction

It’s time for this to work. College football wants this to work – the world is a more fun place when the traditional powers are a thing. The Big Ten wants this to work – it needs the program to up its game and be a bigger star in the West. The Nebraska fans want this to work – Scott Frost is their guy. There’s no excuse for this not to work this season. Scratch that … To remember how good Nebraska used to be, the idea of “work” means 11-1 and a shot at the College Football Playoff. That’s not happening, but there’s no reason this can’t be a strong winning season that points the trajectory of the program upward. There’s experience, talent, and a desperation this time around that should all come together. That, and the schedule isn’t bad.

 

There’s no Ohio State to deal with, and there’s no Michigan State or Penn State, either. there are also just four true road games. The Huskers have to make the big road trip to Dublin, Ireland to deal with an improved Northwestern, and then it’s time to eat. You want a fun run? Try going a full month with four games – including the date with Oklahoma – at home. Follow that up with four very winnable games – at Rutgers, at Purdue, Illinois, Minnesota – before a brutal finishing kick. If the 2022 season is going to work – however you want to define it – Nebraska has to be good enough to at least get to mid-November with a winning season firmly secured. At the very least, the Huskers should be in the mix for fun things before at Michigan, Wisconsin, at Iowa to close. And then Nebraska will have to work on preparing for a bowl game.

SET THE NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS REGULAR SEASON WIN TOTAL AT … 7
