well that Nebby win is huge because it pushes Minny down. Now if Nebby can hold serve against OSU and RU can win their two, RU cant get third

Minnesota isn't the problem since we hold the tie-breaker over them in a tie. Having them in a three way tie situation would help us because if that. But the OSU-Nebraska game is huge.

I wish Nebraska had saved about 20 of those "extra" points for use against OSU!

But RU has to take care of business against NW and that is the game that has had me worried for awhile now. Hopefully our shooters will be on target in ways that they weren't at MSU. That game must have been painful to watch.
