Nebraska football is looking for its best season in nearly a decade this fall.
Heading into year three of the Matt Rhule era, many are expecting the program to take a jump. One sportsbook has put the line for Nebraska's win total at 7½.
According to Circa Sports, the Huskers are in the same win total window as Washington, Illinois, Iowa, and USC. The Big Ten Conference teams with the highest over/under win totals are Ohio State and Oregon at 10½.
Penn State is at 10, with Indiana and Michigan at 8½.
Nebraska has won more than seven games just once in the past decade. That came in 2016, when Mike Riley's second team went 9-4, finished tied for second in the Big Ten West, and made the Music City Bowl.
Rhule's teams have historically taken a jump in year three. At Temple, the Owls went from 2-10 to 6-6 to 10-4. At Baylor, the Bears went form 1-11 to 7-6 to 11-3.
The first two years under Rhule have gone 5-7 and 7-6. Is a jump to at least eight wins coming this fall?
The full list of Big Ten Conference over/under win totals is below.
