i would agree if we won ugly, but we dominated them. sure that stretch was brutal, but who is to say its influence? a big part of the game was our execution, but more importantly was that we called a much better game than them.
There might be a point in there if Nebraska won a close game. The truth was the score could have been much worse if NU didn't drop a few passes. They got crushed. Excuses are worthless in that scenario.
