How many teams in the MAC do you think could beat ****braska, in Lincoln, in 2021? Not would, just could. According to the three MAC coaches I could text in 15 minutes, the correct answer is four or five, in no order: Buffalo, Kent State, Toledo, Miami, and maybe Western Michigan.
Northern Illinois is not on this list, despite accomplishing
this very feat in 2017. Yes, that was one season before the arrival of Scott Frost, revered alumnus and would-be program savior, hired fresh off UCF’s undefeated season to fix the ****ers. In 2018 ****braska opened the season on a six-game losing streak, including Troy at home. There are 2021 MAC teams as good as 2018 Troy.
