If the game gets canceled, it gets canceled. The last thing we should be doing is playing against a team that is currently experiencing an outbreak. We've seen in MLB and NFL that the virus doesn't magically stop being transmitted during a game, and we need to make sure we aren't putting players in danger.

Like I thought, 4-4 at best, hopefully a bowl, however that's figured out. 

 

I like Frost, and I don't think he will ever be on the hot seat in Lincoln. But seeing the Nebraska 'N' get mashed into the turf for 6 straight seasons is getting old. We did look better in some ways, but ball security is a real issue. 

 

The next game is one of the most important games in recent Husker history. Lost to a bad Purdue team last year, failed to make a bowl - again. Recruiting seems to have gone pretty well, but there is zero momentum on the field. Something has to happen, someone has to step up, or God knows when Nebraska football will resemble anything close to relevance again. 

 
You know every team is guaranteed a bowl right?

Let Nebraska get punched in the face and they hold up like a wet paper bag.   Probably an over reaction but there should be little faith this team isnt a 3 win team this year and a .400 .500 with the original schedule.

I mean if we are being honest this guy isn't wrong. This team isn't any better. And they are going to win 2 games max.

Just what we needed. More bad takes.

After almost 20 years of losing teams, I stopped watching at the half.  I will probably not watch another full game for another 10 years because I don't intend watching any game where NU goes down by more than two touchdowns.  Today was another embarrassing performance at the hands of Ohio State.  The Huskers would struggle in the Sunbelt conference right now.

I don’t like to do what I’m about to do...

You should maybe consider picking a new team. Are you really a fan if you don’t support the team through rough patches?

The score is not indicative of the game. 

Martinez is clearly our best QB.

I hope so.  Nervous for next week though.  It was already going to be a dog fight.  Now missing to starters on a suspect secondary for a half will hurt us.

Defense looked pretty good without them and OSU wasn’t pulling punches that drive. Just need to survive the first half. 

My hot take from this game: I think there is a chance we play OSU again in the plus one week.

Yeah. He didn't do us any favors. Or himself, based on how he's being used at TCU.

Honestly if it isn’t the right place for him I’d rather he leave than be a cancer in the locker room. 
 

Would I prefer the he be a Husker and be happy? Yes. But I think the way it turned out was best for both sides.

oh look, only the 2nd penalty of the game for OSU called.

Now that the game isn’t in question they need token penalties to prove they aren’t biased.

Good luck.... it'll be just like leaving the Big 12 again.

 

I wonder when they will quit giving NU the "welcome to the Big 10 treatment."

 

It's been what,  10 years now?

I don’t see how it could get worse than this. The last game to be this obviously biased against us was that infamous TAMU game.

Look at that catch. That's crazy.

 

There's about 127 teams in D1 football that are going to be outmatched by these guys.

 

How do you stop that?

Don’t bring sense to this conversation. We’re obviously the worst team to ever play and won’t win a game. 

Hell of a catch. Shame they were gifted the down. 

With these refs we never had a chance to win the game. 

Oh, we tackled Teague. That must be targeting.

How do you confirm that?

How in the love of god is that targeting?

These refs suck. 

That’s a hell of a sack. Love the delayed rush. 

Just now, knapplc said:

 

Zero pass rush combined with first-round-potential WRs and a Heisman Candidate QB.

 

Let's not rush to judgment on the defense based on this.

But... my hot take!

I think the most infuriating thing about this game is that OSU doesn’t need the help from the refs to beat us, they’re clearly the better team. 
 

And yet there is clear bias in how penalties are being called. How every call on the field goes OSU’s way. 
 

We probably lose in a fairly called game, but at least it would look competitive. 

How do they see that hold but none of the massive holds from OSU?

Olive laying on field again. I think he wants to opt out again. 

It’s a bad look making fun of injured players.
