Bruins Wreck Husker Bowl Social gathering, 27-20

A narrative

A man goes to see his physician.
The physician tells him, “I’ve obtained some unhealthy information. You could have a terminal illness.”
“Terminal?  Oh no!   How a lot time do I’ve?”
“Ten”.
“Ten what?  Weeks?  Months?”
“9…eight…seven…six…”

That is the type of predicament Nebraska finds itself in.   

To make use of a baseball metaphor, the Huskers are trailing by one run within the backside of the ninth inning.  They’re right down to their final three outs.

And Mariano Rivera is the aid pitcher…

Wanting Again

It wasn’t way back (October 4th to be precise), NU was sitting fairly at 5-1 with six video games to go.  (I solicited readers’ predictions on what NU’s document could be in these six video games.  Due to all of you who responded. Then got here the embarrassing meltdown at Indiana.  That loss shelved any concepts I had of posting your feedback.  Sorry about that.)

At 5-1, Nebraska was a certain guess to win at the least one sport or perhaps a couple extra over the last half of the season.  However a month later, Nebraska has a disappointing 5-4 document.

Who’re the Huskers’ subsequent opponents?

1.)  @ USC (4-5)  November 16
The Trojans misplaced to Penn State 30-33, and beat LSU 27-20
The one frequent opponent the 2 groups have had this season is Rutgers.
USC gained 42-20.  NU won14-7.

2.)  Wisconsin (5-4)  November 23 
Misplaced to USC 21-38.  Widespread Opponent:  Rutgers.  The Badgers beat them 42-7.  NU gained 14-7.

3.)  @Iowa (6-3) November 29
The Hawkeyes and Huskers have one frequent opponent:  Ohio State.
Iowa misplaced to the Buckeyes 7-35 whereas NU misplaced 17-21.

Successful proportion of the above three foes?   
55.5%

Nebraska’s 10 12 months document vs the above three opponents:
USC:  (0-1)  The one assembly throughout that point was the 2014 Vacation Bowl.
Wisconsin:  (0-9)  The 2020 sport was canceled.
Iowa:  (2-8)

The Husker win fee of the above groups is a measley 10%.

The chances of geting one other win are fairly slim.  The place are UNI and UTEP if you want them?

I am a cautious optimist.  One factor in NU’s favor:  Oregon, Indiana and Ohio State should not on Nebraska’s upcoming schedule.

Are any of these groups beatable? 

Sure.

However NU must discover a strategy to play 4 full quarters of excellent soccer in at the least a type of video games to have any likelihood of bowl eligibility.  

Proper now, the Huskers should not bowl worthy.  The Husker vacation tune as soon as once more is perhaps:  I am going to Be Residence For Christmas.

Because the physician says, time is working out rapidly.
