Look familiar? They ended the season 6-7. Except two or three of those losses could (and arguably should) have ended in their favor. Of their games that came down to one play or one final drive, they were extremely unlucky statistically. The fact that we're 4-4 sort of feels like Nebraska last year except we didn't get statistically hosed like they did. Oh, and we had a more difficult schedule as well.
It's hard to win those close ones with brand new coaches and a brand new system.
Nebraska is 7-0 this year.
I'm finally getting over my disappointed from the BSU game. I'll be happy if we can win out and sneak into the Top 25. It would be great to have some momentum going into next year and try to have a second year run like Nebraska has had.
