Steven M. Sipple: You know what would cheer up the AD? A few early upsets by the Huskers

Bill Moos felt deflated Saturday.

Deflated and defeated.

Let's be clear on something, though. The Nebraska athletic director wasn't whining. That wasn't his tone. OK, maybe a tad. But he sounded more like a prize fighter who trained hard for a fight and did his best, but came up short.

Moos was 0-for-3 as it pertained to what he sought from the Big Ten Conference for Nebraska's 2020 football schedule. To wit:

1. He recommended that, for this (pandemic) season only, the Big Ten's divisional champions would be decided by using division games only. Strike one.
