Paul Harvey: B1G West looks particularly tough and balanced this year, with Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota all on the rise.

per Paul:

4. Does Iowa have enough talent to repeat as West champs?​

Losing players like Tyler Goodson, Tyler Linderbaum and Dane Belton is always going to hurt your chances at a division title. However, the Hawkeyes have a lot of talent coming back on both sides of the ball.

Iowa still has Jack Campbell, who led the team in tackles (140), and Joe Evans, who was the team’s sacks leader (7). They are also returning some key pieces in the secondary, with Riley Moss and Jermari Harris coming back. The receiving yards leader, tight end Sam LaPorta, is still in Iowa City as well.

The problem is, the B1G West looks particularly tough and balanced this year, with Purdue, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Minnesota all on the rise.

What the hell is he watching that says Nebraska is a team on the rise


I get they have some talent and could win. Losing a lot of games then firing a lot of assistants doesn’t really say you’re on the rise

If you are as far down as NE is then any slight improvement means that you are "on the rise".
Blending 15 transfers and a bunch of new assistants into winning conference games would be quite a feat.

Last year was literally frosts worst year at Nebraska. It was Nebraska’s worst conference record since 1957
