-Per Boise State beat reporter B.J. Rains, Rafdal says he hasn’t noticed a dropoff in talent level from Nebraska/Power 5 down to Boise State/Group of 5 so far. But they’re usually a solid program, anyways…

-Think about it—no one has high expectations for the team. 6-7 wins is seen as the common guess when talking to people. No one thinks they’ll be phenomenal, but no one thinks they’ll be terrible

-We always talk about this team being able to get on a heater…why can’t they? No one thought Northwestern would be great last year, and they won the division. Some people thought Minnesota would be good 2 years ago, but not a large amount of people—and they were great

-If anything, Nebraska might be the STRONGEST pick for a sleeper or surprise team in the B1G

-It’s hard to believe, but there will be an actual Nebraska football game this weekend. The first Big Ten game for any team. Nebraska vs. Illinois. HOT DAMN

-Beyond last week’s news of an NCAA investigation, drama is low—whatever injuries we heard of seem to not be a huge deal (we’ll see about Turner Corcoran if he plays against Illinois, but otherwise pretty clean)

-Think about some of the little things Nebraska could do on Saturday to make you smile AND believe: kickoffs through the end zone, kickoff returns to the 35 yard line, red zone and 3rd down conversions….and winning the turnover battle
