It’s alright for fans and everyone else to look ahead and say, “Oh, boy,” but there better not be anyone in Nebraska’s coaching offices or wearing a Husker uniform thinking 5-0 is a given. Shoot, Indiana better not be thinking it either. No…Nebraska’s full focus had better be on Maryland and the task at hand.
