We only had to wait until the third game of the season to finally get a home game.
That beautiful home game is going to have the Husker faithful marching merrily out of Memorial when it ends in a big win.
Here are the five reasons why:
#1 DEFENSE
The Huskers are the #8 rushing defense in the country, allowing just 1.95 yards a rush. While this Northern Illinois squad does not run the ball as much as they pass, they are going to want to get a running game established. They are going to find this difficult with the stout Husker defense.
