I thought it would be interesting to dive a bit deeper into Nebraska's next 4 opponents prior to the Ohio State game, and look at their season to date along with what each team faces prior to playing us.
September 20
vs Illinois
Illinois' schedule prior to playing Nebraska:
vs Eastern Illinois: WIN (45-0)
vs #19 Kansas: WIN (23-17)
vs Central Michigan: WIN (30-9)
Illinois comes to Lincoln undefeated and likely ranked... we'll know on Sunday.
It’s a short week with the Friday night game, marking Nebraska's 400th consecutive sell-out!
September 28
@ Purdue
Purdue's schedule prior to playing Nebraska:
vs Indiana State: WIN (49-0)
vs #18 Notre Dame LOSS (7-66)
@ Oregon State
Purdue did not do well against Notre Dame. This is looking like a good first game for Nebraska to play on the road.
October 5
vs Rutgers
Rutger's schedule prior to playing Nebraska:
vs Howard: WIN (44-7)
vs Akron: WIN (49-17)
@ Virginia Tech
vs Washington
There's been a lot of talk of how improved Rutgers is this season. Could they be an undefeated, ranked team Nebraska faces when gametime rolls around in Lincoln?
October 19
@ Indiana
Indiana's schedule prior to playing Nebraska:
vs Florida International: WIN (31-7)
vs Western Illinois: WIN (77-3)
@ UCLA: WIN (42-13)
vs Charlotte
vs Maryland
@ Northwestern
Indiana should get more views this week in the polls following their nice win on the road against UCLA. Their schedule doesn't appear to be too bad for them prior to their game against Nebraska. Could this yet again be another undefeated, ranked team that Nebraska faces?
