It’s game week for the Huskers! Are you excited for Week Zero?
I’m not sure how I feel yet. The last few seasons have been so disappointing that it is hard for me to think too far ahead. Maybe it is because the first opponent is Northwestern.
I know the Huskers trounced the Wildcats last year and that is part of my problem. The Huskers have gotten me to hope that they’ve turned a corner only to break my heart again. I don’t trust this team to repeat that win.
Or maybe I don’t trust the Wildcats to be bad two years in a row.
Take your pick.
(And yes, I am excited that it is finally game week, but I definitely won’t be forecasting a 56-7 Husker win in our predictions article.)
