Matt Rhule's reclamation project in Lincoln is ahead of schedule. The Huskers have momentum, confidence, and one very high profile quarterback to be the face of the offense. Now it's time to start delivering in Year 2 of the Rhule regime.
3. Just how good is the defense?
Okay, it's not the Blackshirts of yesteryear but there's no glaring weakness and the D-line is terrific. Eight starters returns from a unit that held nine opponents to 20 points or less last year.
2. Will the one-score madness ever stop?
Nebraska is 8-30 in one-score games since 2018, including four straight to end 2023 with bowl eligibility at stake. It's a head thing now, and the Huskers must learn how to deliver in tight spots.
1. Is QB Dylan Raiola ready to be THE guy?
He's got the arm talent. Moxie and maturity don't appear to be an issue. Now, Nebraska's prized recruit will be asked to be the kind of game-changing QB this school hasn't had in a generation.
