Nebraska vs Maryland Prediction: The Quietly Disrespected Huskers

If you're someone of a certain age, could you ever imagine Nebraska starting a season 4-0 and not be all that close to the top 25 in either of the major rankings?Yes, the Huskers beat two MAC teams, North Dakota from the FCS, and Michigan State, but they won all four games in blowouts, including a solid 31-13 performance last week in East Lansing. Beat Maryland (2-2), and they'll be 5-0 for the first time since 2016.The Terps were supposed to be stronger this season, but they lost at home to Virginia Tech, and then got steamrolled by UCLA 54-3 in the Big Ten opener. They're just dangerous enough to ruin Nebraska's great start, though.
