Under the new leadership of Matt Rhule, Nebraska is looking to go back to the days when they were among the top programs in the country. You have to go back to 2012 as the last time the Huskers competed for a conference title.
In fact, Nebraska hasn’t won a conference title since 1999. Since the days of Bo Pelini, who never posted a season below nine wins, Nebraska has only reached that mark once.
The current run of mediocrity and below-average play highlights how far off the Huskers are today compared to where they rank in the history books. In Bleacher Reports’ top-30 players all-time, they included four Huskers legends. Of the top 30 players, Nebraska fields the second most players.
