How big is this game?

[jedburks]

Is today's game the most pressure filled and biggest game that is not a national title game in Nebraska's history?

Just look at the back drop.

Year long bashing the Big 12 and saying we deserve better.
Summer filled with conference expansion rumors which ended with us deciding to leave.
Preseason of saying we wanted to show everyone in the Big 12 what they are going to miss and how valuable we are.
A 2 game lead in the north going into the 10th game of the season.
A must win today to get to the Big 12 title game.

A loss today makes us a complete laughing stock for the remaining Big 12 schools on the way out the door.

Today is a HUGE game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With all that being said, I am confident we win this game by double digits.

This honestly has come to be the biggest game of the season with what's on the line, and with hand that we have been dealt. It's time to step up.

as big as every other game we've play

Eh, it's fun to say that during the middle of the season when we're playing Kansas or someone like that, but when it all comes down to this one final game.........it has to be the biggest game of the season. Even Bo said it before the game. He said it's obvious now that this is it......it's do or die today.

This game is big, no doubt, but I think the A&M game was just as big because beating the best Texas Big 12 team on their turf would've been one hell of a way to leave this stinky conference.

The refs and Bo's temper were partly to blame for our loss, but because Watson refused to change up the gameplan just a little for that game, we had to endure a loss. Scoring just 2 fields goals in a game with huge implications like that is just obscene and inexcusable.

Not trying to defend Watson but calling plays when you basically only have 10 guys on the field with a one legged Martinez can't help any offense. For the life of me I can not understand why Martinez was back out there in the second half of that game.

We were in the same predicament against CU, but look how much better the gameplan was for that game?

Also, why wasn't Burkhead given a chance to throw a couple of passes against A&M? Our offense had plenty of potential to, at the very least get into A&Ms redzone for a couple of field goal opportunities. Just pathetic offense, period!

I'm guessing he didn't because half the wildcat package (Helu) was hurt a little..

So you think only 6 points scored is justified then? Hmmm?

No we actually played 11 vs 11 in the CU game with a healthy QB. Completely different situation.

No excuse for not scoring at least 10 points total in that game.
