LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska finished 4-8 in 2018 to equal its 2017 mark for the most losses in a season at the school since 1957.
The Cornhuskers lose five of their top six tacklers from last season, plus Stanley Morgan Jr., the most productive receiver in program history, and 1,000-yard rusher Devine Ozigbo.
So why all the good vibes at Memorial Stadium and talk of challenging Northwestern, Iowa and Wisconsin in the Big Ten West? To start, they all come to Lincoln in 2019. More important in coach Scott Frost's second season, Nebraska returns one of the most exciting players in the nation in sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez.
