We traveled down and back to Florida in a matter of days. A long trip that was definitely worth it! During that football game, the Huskers also played the Tennessee Volunteers.

Music City Bowl, here we come. Go, Huskers! My name is Gretchen Garrison. I started this blog about Nebraska in So far, I have written three books about Nebraska and Lincoln.

The Longhorns' "signature" win may have been their last game of the season when they beat bowl-bound Kansas State, So how good will Thompson be at Nebraska?

No one knows that answer until after the '22 season. I'm an optimist. I think CT is going to do some great things at Nebraska. I know it's way too early to be handing out any awards to the recent Husker transfer players, but Husker fans looking for some optimism may have found reasons to be happy with the additions of Thompson and Palmer. As many expected this morning, Husker head football coach Scott Frost named former Husker defensive analyst Bill Busch as the new special teams coordinator.

Busch, from Pender, Nebraska, has the task of developing a unit that has been one of the worst special teams programs in the entire country.

It's a tall task - Herculean, some would say. All I can say is good luck, Mr. Because I'm rather long of tooth, my Husker memories go back a long way. Some great memories, some painful. Steve Taylor, who was the Husker QB, had declared days before the game that the score wasn't going to be close. If the Huskers can do that they are going bowling.

Realistically, however, Scott Frost and his Nebraska club are looking at a schedule where they may be the better team from a combined coaching staff and talent standpoint in only five of their 12 games. They MIGHT be favored in all five of those contests, which means they would need to win all five of those games and pull off one upset. I just think that's a tall order for a program with a record over the last three seasons. I think Nebraska shows improvement, but they'll be home for the holidays once again in It seems like we've been saying this for a few years now, but this really should be the year Nebraska gets back to a bowl game.

In fact, my early projections have the Cornhuskers favored in eight games all but against Oklahoma, Ohio State, Wisconsin and Iowa , with a more talented roster in nine. That said, getting to six wins will be difficult because the Huskers are only favored by more than a touchdown in one contest and will need to avoid upsets and win a few coin-flips along the way to get bowl eligible.

Specifically, I project Nebraska as less than a two-point favorite at Michigan State, home versus Michigan, and at Minnesota, giving the Cornhuskers no better than a 53 percent chance of winning in each of the three. If Nebraska takes care of business in the five games it is "supposed" to win, and beats just one of three of the Spartans, Wolverines and Gophers, it'll go bowling. But if the Cornhuskers suffer another round of close losses to defending Big Ten West champ Northwestern and Minnesota, for instance, there would be no room for error the rest of the way.

Because of the tricky schedule with so many evenly-matched opponents, Nebraska is a difficult team to predict.
