A Closer Look At The Storied College Football Programs That Will Struggle In 2017
Nebraska Cornhuskers
Why They’ll Struggle Any time a college football team loses a longtime starter at quarterback, there’s cause for concern. Nebraska will have a new tarter under center this year with longtime starter Tommie Frazier graduating. Head coach Mike Riley is in Year 2, but it might as well be his first year with all the change that likely lies ahead for the Cornhuskers, not to mention their difficult schedule which features road dates at Oregon and Penn State and home dates against Wisconsin and Ohio State. The Good News Is… Tulane transfer Tanner Lee has experience after throwing 612 passes with the Green Wave, so that’s a good thing, even if no one knows how the the step up in competition will affect Lee. What to Expect in 2017 Nebraska opens up with games against Arkansas State, Oregon, Northern Illinois, Rutgers and Illinois in September, so they’re probably looking at one loss in the first month if that.
