Without the aide of the SP+ analytics machine, I will attempt to make this tricky forecast. Nebraska loses yet another one score game on Friday and we remain so close to championship legitimacy.
The good news is that with the end of the season, comes the end of the predictable week ahead...
Saturday: Lose One Score Game - Conduct press conference outlining how close we are. "We are a good team."
Sunday: Review publications arguing how a play here or there would have made the difference with the result
Monday: HC to conduct presser explaining how well the team has responded in practice. "A lot of energy today"
Tuesday - Thursday: Assistant coaches explain how injured the team is, thus rationalizing the continued losing
Friday: Fans buy in to the notion that this week will be different. Players getting healthy, coaches gaining valuable insight, it is our time, etc.
Saturday: Rinse and repeat.
