After a 3-9 record in 2021, it feels as if Nebraska has nowhere to go but up in 2022. Optimism is running high in Lincoln after a series of coaching changes and a roster overhaul via the transfer portal this offseason. Cornhusker fans have felt this optimism before, though, in fact, Nebraska has had a similar confident feeling heading into the last several seasons. So far though, the team has been unable to produce the desired results on the field and fans are becoming impatient. It’s make or break time for Scott Frost. A 15-29 record over the last four years is flat-out unacceptable and the head coach is well aware that winning the offseason doesn’t matter without wins on the field.
A new list by 247Sports looks at the “teams poised to take a step forward in 2022.” It’s evident that Nebraska is on the list, given that a Nebraska site is talking about it, but who else joins the Cornhuskers in taking that next step in 2022. We’ll also tell you a bit about what that next step forward will look like for each one of the programs listed.
