Welcome to the Hot Topic, a weekly look at the state of Nebraska football. Each week on the Husker Extra Podcast, Parker Gabriel, Steven M. Sipple and Chris Basnett will discuss an important topic heading into that week’s game, and that discussion will appear in the Journal Star’s Husker Extra section on the day before gameday.

Should Nebraska play in a bowl game this season if given the opportunity?

Parker: I’m not going to take a super-hard line on this, but I think yes. Part of the issue, as everyone from Bill Moos to Scott Frost, assistants, players, one of the things they said is that they fell behind because they didn’t make a bowl game last year, and then spring ball got canceled for everybody pretty much.

So I think any day you can practice is good. Now, are you going to get as much out of one extra week in December as you would from a fresh week in April? I don’t know. And obviously, it’s not an ideal situation. It’s not like a normal bowl year where you get 15 practices. If they play again after the 19th, it might be one more week that the season lasts. 

And Frost indicated today he wasn’t quite sure where his team would be in terms of if they would want to play that game or not. I tend to think that a good number of the guys would want to play, and it would be interesting to see how the seniors fall into that.
