Nebraska
"Still an ongoing project, but they're the conference's most talked-about team in recruiting."
"Scott Frost is going to get it turned around. He's already set the tone, you can tell right away. That's a different team in terms of behavior and attitude on the sidelines. We noticed it immediately."
"Offensively, they're going to have more consistent playmakers this year. They're going to have more speed than you would expect from Nebraska in recent years."
"The QB (Adrian Martinez) is a hell of a player. He's going to improve a lot over a true freshman year of being thrown into bad situations. As long as that kid's at Nebraska, they're going to be a problem in the West. They're real thin behind him — they're thin at most positions, which is why they're still a work in progress."
"They love to use the spread run game as a base and get creative from there."
"It’s a great offense to counter the rest of that division. They take that natural team speed and start disguising their looks to get the ball in the best player’s hands. Lots of different positions and motions. When they’re able to get the right guy out in space, that’s what they do best and they’re dangerous."
"They struggled a lot on defense, and they're still building it back. They need an identity. That's what separates a talented roster or a high-scoring team from a Northwestern or Wisconsin. You need a defense that can make it ugly."
"We see them out in recruiting showing in places they haven't in decades. That's the ability to score some points right away and promise immediate playing time in the Big Ten."
