The Nebraska Cornhuskers are on some kind of roll. After starting the season 0-6, they have a chance to finish the second half of the 2018 season on a 5-1 run, that is if they can beat the Iowa Hawkeyes on November 23. With Adrian Martinez leading a young offense, and the defense showing weekly improvements, the Cornhuskers should be a lot stronger in 2019. Preseason top 25 strong? Definitely.
Adrian Martinez
He will be a year older, a year wiser, and with a year of experience under his belt, Big Ten defenses will have a lot of issues slowing down the future sophomore sensation. He’s a leader and brings this team a ton of potential in 2019.
Strong finish
A win over the Hawkeyes will complete a second half record of 5-1 for the Huskers and a possible bowl berth. If that happens, then a top 25 seeding will become a very realistic possibility.
