The emotional reaction to Minnesota’s 13-10 comeback victory over Nebraska is raw and irrational:
Nebraska’s football program is cursed.
And, of course, the corollary: There’s no hope. ‘Eff everything. Go Big Red.
But emotion isn’t rational, and the rational recognizes that Nebraska had this game under control for nearly the entire second half. The rational goes back to the line that is tiring to nearly every Husker fan: they’re close. (Again.) A handful of mistakes was the difference between victory and defeat. Much like it was the entire 2021 season and quite a bit of the 2022 season.
