rwmctrofholz Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 If* we beat Penn State tonight and if* we beat Purdue on Saturday, should Nebraska concede the Michigan game and go all in on preparing for Michigan State? Feeling like we've got to have one of those two games in order to get in. I also thought Osborne should have kicked the extra point in 1983. Brick 1 Quote

Interesting thought but I think you prepare to win every single game. These are college kids and you never know when you run into a team whose star player is distracted by girlfriend issues, etc. What I remember from Mich. St is that it wasn't Ward who killed us but it was Winston owning Watson. If that script doesn't change, I'm not sure it matters who Michigan State is without as it seems like they go as Winston goes and we go as Watson goes. Also, Michigan doesn't appear to be firing on all cylinders at the moment, so who knows, maybe we can pick one off from them. Also, just noticed that Michigan plays Michigan St. a few days before our game with them so hopefully they beat Mich. St in a thriller and have a bit of an emotional let down against us!

hskr4life Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 If we go 2-0 this week, we need to prepare for every game. At that point, we are sitting at 1 win getting us very very near the bubble. Possibly in. 1 win and 1-1 in the Big 10 tourney probably gets us in. I personally don't believe that we HAVE to beat MU or MSU on the road to get in. So no, we want to win every game from here on out. Quote

Huskerpapa Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 We only have one game left that matters. We have to beat Penn State. At about 8:15 PM CST, there will be only one game left (whoever we play on Saturday). And so on, and so on. jayschool 1 Quote
thrasher31 Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 I'm just taking it one game at a time. Certainly a feasible strategy. But let's get past PSU and the house of horrors that is the Bryce Jordan center Quote

brfrad Posted February 19, 2019 Report Posted February 19, 2019 Michigan hit a last second shot to beat Minnesota at home. No way we should concede that game. Anything can happen. AuroranHusker 1 Quote

rwmctrofholz Posted February 19, 2019 Author Report Posted February 19, 2019 All great feedback. Was expecting a bunch of condescension; didn't get it. Still wouldn't put it past Miles. Didn't he have a reputation at Colorado State of working the schedule to game the RPI? Quote

IIRC our opponents had more of a normal rest period (or at least more than one day) prior to our games against them, at least for the most part. Quote
