There are a few thing to note about these Cornhuskers.
1. Just look how narrow the range is for their B1G CCR (in red)! Outside of the visit to Columbus this team has been a model of consistency.
2. Aside from the aforementioned game in Columbus and opening game at Iowa City they have been consistent on both the offensive and defensive ends.
3. Nebraska's defense is trendless in B1G play. Trendline (not shown) is flat and statistically insignificant.
4. Nebraska's offense has shown modest signs of life. Trendline has a modest upward slope of 0.015 but even there there the regression is only statistically signficant with 65% confidence.
5. Road warriors they are not. Aside from their first game at Iowa City these Huskers have played at a below average B1G level on the road. Little wonder why they are o-fer the road.
6. In sum we basically can expect Nebraska to come into Evanston and play like your typical B1G team.
Regarding point 6 if NU can continue its trend of playing opponents at an above average B1G level then this game in Evanston should be a comfortable win for the Wildcats. Even a slightly below average performance like NU had against the Illini and the Boilers should be enough to get the job done at home.
