True or False: The Rutgers game is Nebraska’s most important of the season

[Fargo Husker]

I have to go with true.

It’s a winnable game against a quality opponent at home. To me, the bare minimum requirement for this to be a successful season is making a bowl game. Going into the back half of our schedule 5-1 would be HUGE as opposed to 4-2. I feel much, much better about us getting 1 of these last games than I do 2, as sad as that sounds.

An upset of Blowhio Std would be bigger, but that’s obviously unlikely

I get ya OP. My only counterpoint is:

1. Colorado was the most important game of the season, until it wasn't
2. Then Illinois was the most important game of the season (first real test)
3. Then Purdue was the most important game of the season (if we lost it, entire season wrecked)

Now Rutgers is the most important game of the season. I think we'll win by 10-14. Then people will say "Rutgers is overrated - they should have lost to Washington."

Then Indiana will be the most important game of the season.

I guess I'm just exhausted by all the "most important game of the season"s. There's a new one almost every week.

Now Buttgers is the most important game of the season. I think we'll win by 10-14. Then people will say "Buttgers is overrated - they should have lost to Washington."

Then Indiana will be the most important game of the season.

That's how it goes when we've sucked for decade. You can still see during the ILL game. We're still a very fragile team, maybe not as much as the past but still.

I say false. National title game will be more important.

 

[Scarlet ObsessioN]

I thought Illinois was… and if we win Saturday then I bet it’s Indiana.. then OSU..

 

[Ripping Lips]

Indiana, UCLA, Wisconsin and Cockeye are the most important game to win. Ohio State and USC will be tests to determine how far we are from being in the upper echelon of CFB again.

Oh shit did not read your post but no disrespect to @Fargo Husker but we can play that game every week.

Yeah, not being snarky toward OP....I just listen to a lot of NU podcasts, radio etc and literally every week is "this is our biggest game of the season."


There's a scenario where the UCLA game is our biggest game of the season (if we're at 5 wins when we play them).

None of it is technically wrong, I'm just exhausted by it.

No doubt but it’s been awhile since Nebraska has gotten past this point. The fan base just needs to take it week by week. They didn’t win 12 in the 90’s because they were consumed with how big each game was.

Only difference I have is USC is probably a tier below upper echelon. I think we'll lose but maybe we catch them on a bad day and we have a good day and it's winnable.

Ohio St is not remotely winnable.

 

[CornFed Gregger]

I thought we were set for a bowl when we were 5-3 last year so I’m sticking with the one game at a time mentality. No expectations & this team can’t hurt me anymore

I'm exhausted by your responses. Yore a great guy, but remind me of the friend that never stops texting. I could get through threads a lot quicker if you would slow down the replies. Thanks

Well I have posted some FIRE responses in multiple threads this week, and gotten far fewer accolades on them than I should have. Go read them & be entertained.

Maybe not, but they can't get pink socked by Ohio State
