The experts at Althon Sports have weighed in on Nebraska’s chances for a bowl game in the 2022 season. Since taking over the Cornhuskers, Scott Frost’s team has gone 15-29 overall and 10-25 in Big Ten play. Nebraska hasn’t played in a bowl game in five years. The last time the Huskers had a postseason drought that long, Dwight Eisenhower was President. So, will the Huskers reach a bowl game for the first time since they lost to Tennessee 38-24 in the 2016 Music City Bowl?
