Preach! I know the transitive property should not be used too liberally in sports, but I have nothing from PSU that convinces me they are a league above Nebraska. Are we underdogs for a good reason and will it be really tough to pull out the W? Sure. However, we will not be intimidated by the atmosphere (it was rockin' in Lincoln), and PSU's marquee win so far (WVU) was lucky to get past KU at home. I think we can hang with them if we play well and minimize mistakes!
And if you are hanging with a team into the fourth quarter ... anything can happen. I know we keep saying each week is so huge for the program, but ... it's true. In 2022 when we were ranked, we had not beaten a single ranked team. When we last played in a top 25 matchup like last Friday in 2008, we had already stubbed our toe earlier in the year. In 2007, our loss to Iowa knocked us off of most people's radars until we upset OSU. I would argue we are currently in "program respect" territory that we have not been in since 2001 ... win Saturday, and what game left on the schedule "scares" us? None should. Doesn't mean we will win out (obviously), but WOW would it send an even louder statement than we already have!
