2016 Husker Football Opponent Previews
Iowa Hawkeyes Football Preview
Imagine what the 2015 football season would be like if most of the bounces went your team's way? That's how things went for Iowa...and they got a trip to DisneyLand as their reward.
Maryland Terrapins Football Preview
Maryland's quarterbacks were a turnover machine last season, but a new, young coaching staff may be a better fit for what the Terrapins can do this season.
Minnesota Golden Gophers Football Preview
Injuries were a significant factor last season in Minnesota's sub-.500 season. Will the Gophers rebound in 2016? And who will hoist the "$5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy" this November?
Ohio State Buckeyes Football Preview
With only six returning starters, 2016 would be a rebuilding season at most schools. Has Urban Meyer turned Ohio State into a situation where the Buckeyes merely reload rather than rebuild? We'll find out in 2016.
Wisconsin Badgers Football Preview

Northwestern Wildcats Football Preview

Oregon Ducks Football Preview
Oregon’s offense looks to be potent once again in 2016...but will the Ducks continue to be impotent on defense?
Wyoming Cowboys 2016 Football Preview
Wyoming went 2-10 in 2015 with issues on both sides of the ball, especially on defense where freshmen made up over half of the two-deep. Those freshmen are now a year more experienced...will that mean an bounce back in 2016?
Fresno State Football Preview
Fresno State fell hard, all the way to 3-9 last season. New coordinators, including Dan Hawkins' last offensive coordinator, will certainly shake things up. But in a good way?
