Steele predicts the Huskers will be the nation's most improved team. I'm sure Hawkeyes and Badgers everywhere feel warm and fuzzy about that, seeing NU getting more respect than their schools.
Never mind that Iowa, in the last four games against Nebraska, averaged 249.0 rushing yards (5.9 per carry) compared to the Huskers' 108.5 (3.5).
Never mind that Wisconsin in the last six games against NU averaged 368.8 rushing yards (8.1!) compared to the Huskers' 161.5 (4.4).
There hasn't been much need for luck by the winners. Wisconsin has out-gained Nebraska by an average of 512.
