[Husker] It's Game Week!

[Paul Dalen]

As an industrial engineer I tend to look for trends and relationships
between things.  One thing that I've found as I dig deep into the stats and
records of NCAA teams over the last couple of decades is that teams rarely
improve or regress more than 1 game either way from one year to the next.
That makes 8-4, 9-3, or 10-2 the overwhelmingly likely candidates for a
final regular season record.  Another is that a returning QB generally
means that a team won't regress from one year to the next.

I was pretty low on the Huskers at the end of the year last year.  I said
7-5 or 8-4 then.  I'm not quite as down on them as I was, but there are
still many questions to be answered about this team, so I'm going to play
it safe and say 9-3, with losses to Michigan, Ohio State, and someone else
we shouldn't lose to (not Wisky, though).
