Breaking News: Nebraska huskers head coach just summitted his resignation letter to the management.
No love for Nebraska Football’s Blackshirts.
Nebraska retained defensive coordinator Tony White after a breakout season for the defense under the first year DC.
EA Sports doesn’t believe that the Huskers can repeat that feat.
During this week, dubbed “Rankings Week” by the new EA Sports College Football video game which releases July 19, Nebraska has found itself on the outside looking in for the three rankings released.
On Tuesday, Memorial Stadium was absent from the “Toughest Places to Play” list while Thursday debuted the game’s top 25 Offenses and Defenses, where the Huskers find themselves in an unfortunately familiar place, unranked.
Offensively, no surprise as Nebraska finished the season tied with Charlotte for 115th in the nation in Total Offense.
That number is largely related to the passing offense which ranked 126th in the nation, fifth worst in the country, one spot above Iowa.
The rushing offense, carried by team rushing leader quarterback Heinrich Haarberg, ranked 38th in the country.
With the addition of five-Star QB Dylan Raiola and co-offensive coordinator/QB Coach Glenn Thomas, those numbers are believed to rise.
Nebraska will face three of the Top 25 ranked offenses however in the form of Ohio State (5), Colorado (8), and USC (25). Other notable teams in the rankings are Georgia (1), Oregon (2), Missouri (9), Penn State (12), Kansas (14), and Oklahoma (23).
