I think its all about the attitude. Nebraska had a week to rest up. The mindset should be, "lets not even make it close. Nebraska needs it to be over in the 3rd quarter, and not just coast thru the 4th but continue to dominate.
I was really hoping that Purdue would be ranked. Imagine a win this week and an upset at home against Ohio ST. If Nebraska would beat Ohio St, I would be all for the fans rushing the field. Same goes with Iowa too.
IMHO, Nebraska has what it takes to finish 7-5. Not drinking the koolaid, just saying Nebraska knows what it has to do. 6-6 to finish is good. 7-5 would be great.
