Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh and Nebraska coach Scott Frost have much in common. Both were championship quarterbacks for their respective alma maters. And then each man has proclaimed a College Football betting savior when they were hired. Harbaugh has been better than what his critics admit. But a Big Ten championship remains missing. Frost has fallen short of expectations. Yet, there is a sense that Nebraska is close to turning the corner. Of course, the Wolverines and Cornhuskers are tradition-laden blue bloods. And former national powers aspiring for a return to prominence.
