There is very little doubt that the Nebraska football team’s 2018 schedule is plenty hard. Of the 13 teams on the schedule, nine were bowl teams a year ago.
You might have seen the list being passed around of FBS teams that don’t have an FCS team on the schedule. The Cornhuskers were on that list as well.
Even the “easy” teams on the schedule aren’t all that easy. This is why the Huskers are considered a long shot to even win eight games in 2018.
In order to get ready for the regular season (it’s closer than you think), we’ve decided it’s time to take a closer look at that schedule.
