I’m predicting a high potential for pitchforks and torches after this game.
If you’ve seen the commercial where the coach is put on the hot seat in Fanville, then you get the idea of what I’m talking about.
Except that our coach isn’t sponsored by Dr. Pepper.
I woke up this morning with my PTSD from previous Nebraska seasons in full force. What I’d like to see is Nebraska come out and take control of this game at the very beginning. I really don’t expect that to happen.
If we see a Nebraska team that walks around the field like Wisconsin is doing these days, then God help us.
