What expectations, exactly, do media members outside the state of Nebraska have for the Nebraska football team in the second season of coach Scott Frost?
Opinions vary widely.
Initial predictions had the Huskers making a breakthrough, much in the way UCF did in going 13-0 in Frost’s second season in Orlando. That turnaround, combined with Nebraska’s strong wave of momentum to finish 2018, and star quarterback power in Adrian Martinez, had the likes of Phil Steele saying the Huskers would be the nation’s most improved team.
Steele’s and other preseason magazines picked Nebraska to win the Big Ten West.
