So frustrating rematch to be sure. At times it almost felt like Nebraska had 'learned' from last time even when that's mechanically impossible. Probably a bit of psychology from facing them for all-the-marbles again so close together. So just got the 8 Team Playoff left to cap off this experiment and season; I haven't made up my mind whether or not to squeeze it into one article or split it up. I guess I'll see how I feel about it after I get down this far on that one. Stay safe Vocal Community!
