Nebraska is up to No. 6 in the country and heads into Saturday’s showdown in Madison undefeated.

But like last year’s Iowa squad, some are questioning how good the Huskers really are.

Last year, Fox Sports 1 host Colin Cowherd repeatedly called Iowa “the fake ID of college football.” He called them “posers” because they didn’t have five-star athletes and they didn’t schedule tough non-conference opponents.

This year, Cowherd said that title belongs to Nebraska:

Cowherd did say that Nebraska gets credit for scheduling tougher non-conference foes than Iowa, but he obviously believes the 7-0 start isn’t as good as it looks.

Will the Huskers quiet Cowherd and all their other doubters with a win in Madison this weekend?
