Has to be one of the luckiest seasons of all time hahaha. Freaking DOINK off the upright to win.

I'm not even trying to knock them, they're the MASTER of the 4th quarter drive. Got the ball with 4:30ish left and drained the entire clock with LAC calling 3 timeouts. It's just a master work.

Real solid Olineman. 3 year starter and 4 year player. Freshman All American. Would start here day 1 clearly.

The one that got benched after the three game losing skid, not the one that has played recently.

Thought it would be interesting to look at this year's teams in past and future playoff scenarios.

This is the current bracket.

Time for the latest edition of the Conversations with Clouse live chat from 7-8pm.


Fire away with those questions!

Watched the SEC and BIG games and we are far back. Far back. The speed of the players made the Huskers look slow. There isn’t one Husker who would start for any of the 4 teams.

I’m still hoping for music city Bowl in nashville over the pinstripe in NYC…
When shall we hear which game we get?

Looks like a list of NFL team payroll

Purdue

Whoa baby.

How many players that enter the portal this year will end up not finding a team this year. There seems to be more players than roster spots. Many players might not be as valuable as they believe they are.
