What could a win do for Nebraska?

[TnHusker87]

A win would be huge.

On the road, top five opponent, nobody thinks Nebraska can beat.

It would be epic.

Glad to see you back from work purgatory Crab.

Yes, it would be epic ... gotta believe anything is possible. GBR!!!

Any thoughts?

If, big if, we happen to pull off an upset this weekend I hope that sitting at 3-1 and beating #3 we stay unranked around #35-30. Keep'em hungry.

I’d be fine with that, but I suspect at 3-1, and should it beat #3 on the road, somewhere between 18-22. At that point, everything is still on the table.

A win would be huge. Would be Frost's 1st marquee win at NU as a coach. It would erase the stench of the IL loss. It would also put the Huskers in a far better position to get the 6 wins and a bowl--assuming they would then go on to build from the win. Their path got so much harder with that opening loss that looks even worse with every week.

Beat OU and get a bowl game . . . and Frost buys a lot more good will and probably time.

Would Frost pull a Bo and say " NUs back and we're here to stay!" :O O:

That's what I'd be afraid of, keep'em out until they're 6-1

It would be incredible if it was the only game this season.

 

[Scott in NY]

Yes

Does a win against OU get us into the Top 25 even with the terrible loss to Illinois?

 

[Husker In Oklahoma]

That's what I'd be afraid of, keep'em out until they're 6-1

6-1 and they’d be in the top 10.

I don't care if they're ranked until the season is over. Too many times we've dropped out of the top 25 by the years end in the last 20 years.

Exactly, seems we get in then screw it up

Many of Buffalo's finest left the herd and headed for Kansas. The team Nebraska beat on Saturday was in no way shape or form the one originally ranked 25th.

Man, I think a win could and would do wonders. I just think back to when OU beat Nebraska in 2000. It was program changing for them. Maybe,NU makes it happen Saturday? A win like this would be huge for everyone, and eye opening everywhere. This is just a huge game for the Huskers. Like when Rocky was being pummeled by the Russian, and he finally tagged him back and cut him, he’s cut, he’s cut, you could see the confidence increase by the punch. Same with anything else. This is the type of win Nebraska needs desperately.

I like the thought, but this is a VERY different situation. OU was already ranked #3 in the nation (NU was #1 I believe) so it wasn't a huge upset of a far superior team. The win was big for them, but the true program changer for them was that they went on to win the NC.
