Sportbetting has the Nebraska Cornhuskers uncertain about their starting quarterback for Saturday’s game against Iowa State. Junior quarterback Zac Lee had started every game for the Cornhuskers this season but he played poorly in the sports betting online loss to Texas Tech last week. The Cornhuskers are 27.5 point favorites in sportbetting at the sportsbook in their game against Iowa State.
Sportbetting on Nebraska at the sportsbook has been up and down this season. It started well in sports betting online but has slipped of late. The play of Lee has really hurt Nebraska and head coach Bo Pelini said he won’t decide upon a starter until game time on Saturday. “It’s always open,” Pelini said, “That’s kind of how we always approach it.” Freshman quarterback Cody Green got playing time in the sportbetting loss to Texas Tech and could be the starter this weekend.
Nebraska has had major troubles this sports betting online season on offense. They had just 15 points in the loss to Virginia Tech. They did score 27 in the online sportsbook win over Missouri but most of that came in the fourth quarter against a weak Missouri defense. Many surrounding the Nebraska program are upset not only with Lee at quarterback but with offensive coordinator Shawn Watson. Pelini is upset with the criticism even though it is warranted. “Right now, nothing’s changed,” Pelini said. “If and when it changes, we’ll announce it.”
Nebraska will still play some important games this season in sportbetting and having a solid quarterback is critical. The Cornhuskers still have a sports betting online game left against Oklahoma that will be on the national radar and they could still win the Big 12 North considering how weak it is. Kansas State actually leads the Big 12 North at 2-1 while Nebraska is in a three-way tie for second at 1-1. Kansas, Colorado and Nebraska are all 1-1 in the division heading into this college football betting weekend. If Nebraska finds some solid quarterback play they could win the division and that would mean a sportbetting matchup against Texas in the Big 12 title game and that game could have a major impact on the national title picture and be a popular one at the online sportsbook. It is definitely important for the Cornhuskers to find a quarterback that can put points on the board this sportbetting season.
