If Nebraska is going to hit a 10–2 record in 2025, here’s how they’ll pull it off—and why it’s not as far-fetched as it might seem:
🧠 How Nebraska Can Go 10–2 in 2025
✅ 1. Win the Opener vs. Cincinnati
This neutral-site game in Kansas City sets the tone. Nebraska is favored, and a win here builds early momentum.
✅ 2. Sweep Non-Conference Games
Akron and Houston Christian are tune-ups. These should be easy wins.
✅ 3. Upset Michigan at Home
Michigan will be without head coach Sherrone Moore due to suspension for this game. Nebraska could capitalize on the home crowd and a fired-up defense.
✅ 4. Handle Business at Home
Michigan State, Northwestern, USC, and Iowa all come to Lincoln. If Nebraska defends its turf, that’s four more wins.
✅ 5. Split Tough Road Games
Away games at Maryland, Minnesota, UCLA, and Penn State are brutal. But winning two of those—say, Maryland and Minnesota—is doable with improved quarterback play and a deeper defense.
🔥 Key Ingredients for Success
Dylan Raiola (QB): Year two for the five-star phenom. With Dana Holgorsen calling plays, expect a more explosive offense.
Improved Offensive Line & WR Corps: Transfers and recruits have bolstered depth and speed.
Defensive Reinforcements: Despite losing Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher, the front seven is more athletic and aggressive.
Favorable Schedule: No Ohio State or Oregon. Only one ranked team from last season on the slate.
🏆 Final Thought
A 10–2 regular season would likely put Nebraska in the Big Ten title conversation and possibly the College Football Playoff mix. It’s ambitious, but not unrealistic—especially if they finally break their losing streak against ranked teams.
