Ahead of Nebraska football's game against Maryland, Sam McKewon gives his three keys to a Husker win.

On Behind The Ballot, Sam McKewon and Ben Doody discuss whether Husker fans should expect their team to be ranked if Nebraska beats Maryland this weekend. Plus: Why Sam doesn't have a Big Ten team ranked higher than 10th, and why Michigan remains in his Top 25. 

Nebraska is 4-0 for the first time since 2016 — and for a program where a four-game winning streak has become historic, that alone says something. Gary Sharp and Tom Shatel break down what Nebraska’s 31-13 win at Michigan State really means. Is this simply a fast start, or are the Huskers showing signs of becoming a different kind of Big Ten team? Then comes the next challenge: Can Nebraska handle being a big favorite?  

Gary Sharp, Sam McKewon and Evan Bland discuss whether Michigan State is a must-win for Nebraska to prove this team is different, how winning impacts the future of the Memorial Stadium project, and what the Huskers actually learned from three comfortable nonconference wins before the real test begins.
