Ooph, there is a quote that is could prove mightily ironic by late October when the wheels come off.

Driving for 6: Will the Big Ten start Week 3, Week 0 or somewhere in between?

The Big Ten, per sources, is more likely to move back than forward as fellow Power Five conferences aim for differing dates.

Multiple sources have indicated to the Journal Star this week that the Big Ten is more likely to move back, perhaps as far as Week 3, than it is to move up to Week 0. It is unclear, however, how close the league is to finalizing a plan.

Consensus among schools is going to be hard to come by, and it’s fairly easy to see why. Nebraska, for example, has started each new phase of offseason on time, beginning with voluntary workouts on June 1, formal summer access July 13 and the two-week “minicamp” period last July 24. Obviously, things can change fast, but head coach Scott Frost has been saying for weeks that he thinks his team is on the front edge of programs around the country in terms of working through this offseason’s challenges and getting prepared for a season.

The Huskers haven’t veered from their charted course since then, meaning there’s no reason to believe that sentiment has changed.
