Nebraska Cornhuskers CFB Week 10 Betting Lines
One can wonder why the UCLA Bruins bother to field a football program anymore. It is obvious that for the past two decades, the UCLA administration doesn’t care about putting a winning product on the field. Instead, they simply want the Big Ten TV payments in return for serving as a fake program that can’t seriously compete. By contrast, Nebraska is All In for its football program. And under head coach Matt Rhule, they have found the right man at the right time to restore the Big Red to glory. Nebraska got a moral victory in a loss at Ohio State last week, a game it should have won.

Nebraska Cornhuskers Weekly Recap
Last game, the Nebraska Cornhuskers lost 21-17 against the Ohio State Buckeyes as 25-point road dogs. The game went under the total of 48.5. Nebraska has a record of 5-3 straight up, 5-2-1 against the spread, and 2-6 over/under the total. Nebraska ranks 93rd for total offense, 62nd for passing, 103rd for rushing and 95th for scoring.

On another beautiful fall afternoon in the Horseshoe, the #4 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes came from behind in the fourth quarter to edge the Nebraska Cornhuskers 21-17. The Buckeyes were 25-point favorites over the visitors, who were blown out in Bloomington a week ago 56-7. But the Huskers played with tremendous heart and effort and had several opportunities to get their first road win against a Top Ten ranked opponent since 1997 (Washington).
Unfortunately, the loss extended a few sad streaks. The Huskers have now lost 27 straight games against ranked opponents, including 18 of those on the road. They are also 0-6 in games played to clinch bowl eligibility in the Matt Rhule era. Four more chances remain as the Huskers head into November with the same 5-3 record they had last season.
But this game stood in stark contrast to the effort last week as the team rebounded to regain some necessary confidence for the stretch run as well as some respect from a highly regarded opponent. I’m not sure too many pundits saw this coming. I had hoped that the team could manage to stay at least within a few points of the spread when I predicted a 38-14 OSU win. However, Matt Rhule said in his postgame presser that it was the first time since he's been here that he’d felt a championship mindset in the locker room.
"I thought they grew up. I challenged them, 'It better look this way next week.'"
The Huskers responded to last week’s embarrassment and revealed what they are made of.

Once, It seemed as though the Nebraska football program had always been good, and it’s because they had been. They won 10 or more games 26 times, had five unbeaten seasons, and claimed five national championships. They played in 51 bowl games in those 55 years and were also ranked in the top 25 of every AP poll from 1970 to 2001.
The success didn’t start in 1961; it happened long before that. The Huskers enjoyed 17 straight winning campaigns at the beginning of the 20th century. Nebraska appeared in its first bowl game with a Rose Bowl loss following the 1940 season and wouldn’t get its first win until 1960. Bob Devaney led the Huskers to back-to-back national championships in 1970 and 1971 by going a combined 24-0-1.
Tom Osborne took over in 1972 and led the program to unprecedented success. The Huskers won at least nine games every season, were ranked in the AP poll every week, and appeared in a bowl at the conclusion of each season. Osborne retired following a perfect 13-0 record and the program’s fifth national championship in 1997. Nebraska ended its affiliation with the Big 12 Conference to join the Big Ten in 2011. The success hasn’t come as easily in the past decade or so, but Nebraska is hoping to take the next step forward in 2024.
After favorite son Scott Frost failed miserably as head coach from 2018-2022, Matt Rhule was hired. Rhule rebuilt programs at Temple and Baylor and has Nebraska on the right track. Ironically, Nebraska’s renaissance will be led by a native New Yorker who has become the ultimate Nebraska citizen.
