Serious question I was asked today by a friend who’s an A&M grad.
“Would your opinion on Nebraska losing today be different had they not been blown out last week?”
It definitely made me pause and think. If you would have asked me in the off season if I would be happy being 5-3 and losing to Ohio State by less than a TD and a chance to win it, I would be ecstatic.
I’m not trying to breeze past the fact that last week looked horrible, but so far our 3 losses this year are to teams that are a combined 20-2 (20-3 if Oregon hangs on to beat Illinois).
Perhaps we’re not as bad as we think we are, perhaps we’ve just played some really stinking good opponents.
