Years past Minnesota games have never been as important as the one we are going to play this week. Why? Well we have a bye week preceding before a two week stretch against Indiana and Purdue. Count those games up and we could be 7-2 going into the Wisconsin game.
The last three games are Wisconsin, Maryland, and Iowa(sucks). Could Nebraska get to 9 wins this year?! Not without beating Minnesota. Going from 4-8 to 9-3 would be a clear indication of trending upward, all the while slowly and quietly building a great recruiting class, which is looking to finish in the top 20.
