Lex_Ludorum 20 Talented team got their Husker moment out of the way for the season.
Maladroit44 20 "Nebraska wins all its blowouts and loses all its close games" is an easy narrative to buy into, and I told myself I wouldn't buy into it after last week. And then the Cornhuskers went and lost 17-14 on a last-minute miracle from Dylan Raiola, because of course they would do that. This team is now 5-2, but on the upside, it *will* be 8-2, provided it doesn't find a way to lose against Washington, Illinois, or Rutgers. The season now narrows to two decisive games: find a way to beat Ohio State on home turf and Iowa on the road, and NU is probably playoff-bound. Anything else, and they'll settle for a nice bowl.
ManiacalBlazer 20 74.890 (5-2) -8, -4.346, Did I suggest a late-season collapse might be incoming a week ago?

ChBass 23 The loss to Indiana doesn't hurt, but a loss to Oregon does. Nebraska still has top-25 offensive and defensive rankings.
