The model knows Nebraska out-scored its opponents by 63 points in 2021. The Cornhuskers greatly outpaced their win-loss record from a metric standpoint, with a new offensive coordinator now in place in Mark Whipple. Nebraska also has a proven entity at quarterback after the transfer arrival of Casey Thompson. Northwestern returns a great deal on offense, headlined by NFL prospect Peter Skoronski. The Wildcats also project to be stingy on defense, and Northwestern projects to have a special teams edge in this matchup.
