Big Power Rankings Week 8: Purdue causes big shakeup
. Cornhuskers . 11. team. 810. . 3-5 (1-4)
11. Nebraska (3-5, 1-4)
It was another tough day for Nebraska on Saturday as they fell to Minnesota 30-23.
Every time it looks like Nebraska has a chance to turn this season around, they fall on their face. Minnesota is a solid team, and this was a road game, so it’s not a terrible loss, but as the losses start to pile up, head coach Scott Frost’s future becomes less clear.
Quarterback Adrian Martinez continues to play strong. He went 18-33 for 241 yards and a touchdown in the game, but he hasn’t gotten much help from anyone else.
This Cornhuskers are battling, all five of their losses have been by one score or less, so it’s not like they are getting totally dominated and have no talent. They seem so close to turning this program around, but it doesn’t look like that turn around will happen in 2021.
The question becomes, how much longer will the school give Frost to turn it around?
