Michigan’s Daxton Hill (30) pulls in an interception on a pass intended for Nebraska’s Austin Allen (11) in the second quarter on Saturday at Memorial Stadium.
Welcome to the Hot Topic, a weekly look at the state of Nebraska football. Each week on the Life in the Red 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 Huskers section on the day before gameday.
What are the chances Nebraska makes a bowl game if it loses to Minnesota?
Steven: Time’s running out. I don’t know what the chances would be, but they would be low. Now, I’m sort of hung up on the whole bowl thing. And maybe you guys could talk me off of it. I’m very hung up on, if this team doesn’t make a bowl, it wouldn’t be good. Because of what we’re saying.
Chris: They’re good. They’re good enough to be a bowl team.
Steven: That’s what I’m saying. This is a good team. Your eyes tell you it’s a good team. And if they don’t make a bowl, what does that tell you? I guess it tells you that the schedule is very tough. But, it needs to get to a bowl. So if they lose — you’re counting wins. Purdue, you feel confident getting to four, then you have Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Iowa left, and you’d have to win two of them.
I’ll tell you what I don’t subscribe to: ‘Oh, Nebraska will beat Wisconsin.’ Come on. Wisconsin, on its home field, with that defense, still feels like a tossup game.
