I think it matters. We still need to show sustained progress. A loss will really leave a bad taste in our mouth and will result in a long off-season. Go Big Red!
While the outcome of this bowl game won’t change much, there’s a BIG difference between 7-6 vs 6-7 heading into the offseason. Beating Iowa would have made this game meaningless, but here we are
This game is huge, I disagree with this guy saying it doesn’t matter. We have an opportunity to have a winning season or a losing season. A losing season says we are not getting better, sure we played a bowl game but on paper it’s still a losing season that recruits see and national media. However if you win the game, it’s a WINNING SEASON! Shows progression. Moving in the right direction. We need to win this game! End of story…
What's really interesting about going to a bowl game is that 4 top ranked teams did not play in a bowl game this year. They lost their first game in the playoffs so wondering how important bowl games are in this new college football era? I would rather miss a bowl game and lose my first round in the playoffs. At least my team would be one of the elites in the nation so how much does a bowl game really mean?
your right about one thing bowls don't mean the same as they use to, players don't look as if their even having fun, IMO. the portal and nil took the joy out of the game and replaced it with 18, 22 yr old kids that just wanna be millionaires
Yeah, but I can see the point of wanting to get into the paying job instead of hoping you don't get a career-ending injury while volunteering your skills.
Steve, hope to hell yer wrong, bruh. vintage, they do not live in fear, or they would not be knocking skulls with a buncha behemoths for a living ( IMO) GBR
It's important to win this game, because it's the difference between a winning record and losing record and how Nebraska will be perceived going into 2025.
To me, we get our bowl practices and our bowl game, we get a chance to play players that have not played all year because others are leaving, and if I'm being honest all I want to see from the guys is four quarters of clean football and 100% effort. If we can achieve that, I will feel better about next year and how we will play going forward.
As far as who wins the game, I want to say Nebraska but it really just depends on whether or not we get a complete effort from the team. That is been the same for every game this year, whether or not we can play four quarters of football. We have to shore up the defense when it comes to the short and intermediate passes that have extended drives and killed us all year long, we have to scheme players open because our wide receivers just don't get open by themselves. I think if we can accomplish both of those things than Nebraska wins if we get a complete football game from our team.
So losing 5 of the last 6, backing into this low rank bowl game everyone was begging for, you can imagine what their confidence looks like as soon as the turn the ball over early.
Disagree. This game definitely matters. Nebraska has a chance to turn in its first winning season since what, like 2016? We have more to play for than Boston College and I know the offense will be looking to put up points In Holgorsen’s offense. We win by a couple touchdowns.
I don't understand the take that winning or losing this game doesn't matter.... Winning convincingly, finishing the season above .500, can be a huge catapult going into 2025. We should REALLY want to win this game. Also, their stud DE is not playing...
I hope they look different. And the more different the better. But I predict the offensive structure they use will look a lot more like what we've seen all year than something new.
@@thehojo15 “This oughta be good”…. was sarcasm. Our problem is not player personnel (which is hard to believe), the problem has been poor coaching on the offensive side of the ball(Rhuley/Satt/Dana), poor clock management. So change up the player line up, keep the same inefficient coaches in place including Dana, you’ll get the same result, then Rhuley will tell us at the news conference how proud he is of his guys, and “they just haven’t had enough time together”…. Losing 5 of your last 6, now you’re gonna resurrect things in a bowl game changing you personel. Lol.
As crass as bowl games have been pushed to. As far as momentum into the next season? That shit still I think, is a reality. Historically speaking. Teams that win their bowl games usually fair very well the following year. Teams that lose quit often suffer. The energy off a win moving into spring has some palpability to it.
Oh they will. As soon as they turn the ball over early, and find themselves down 14-0, watch Rhuley start wandering around the sidelines all lost looking like he can’t find his car keys, and players start laying down like an old farm dog. I’ve seen this movie for too many years.
A winning season matters. Those 2 opt-outs help considerably.. I think this game matters more to Nebraska than BC. Nebraska 31 Boston College 20 (it could be a blowout)
What I find hilarious is since ht last bowl Nebraska has spent like 150 million on coaches and faculties...and for that they get...a 6 win bad boy mowers pinstripe bowl.
I dont believe in that. That is not Nebraska football. You play to win the game. If you can't get fired up, you might as well stay home. There will be more young guys in, 25 ish players are gone.
You don't think this helps recruiting and the extra practices....this won't matter?!#....a win means 7-6 (look at it)....a lost looks like 6-7( look at it) .....that's a loosing season....that is a line in the sand on a teams season....for a program like nebraska who has so far done OK recruiting could turn the tide for committed recruits or keeping coaches
I Totally ....ing Disagree. When you are on a Football Team, NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE W TO WHOM!?! THE ...ING PLAYERS!!! No offense, but , have you ever played on a football team? ( no offense again, but i already Know the answer. No.) Tell them guys with the "N's" on their helmets this W means more to us dumbs...s who Sit Around Watching then it Does to Them. See their Reaction. Havagoodone, bruh, GBR!
Totally agree with that broken record “Nebraska has better athletes etc. etc.” Tell that to UCLA & Iowa for openers. Tomorrow will reveal the urgency to shore up the OL and replace Dowdell. Merry Christmas gents. GBR!
Rhule is an average coach. If you have watched the college bowls you realize Nebraska football doesn't have a high level of playmaker and isn't as organized as the better teams. This is a NY vacation for getting to a bowl BC wins by 2 scores. Rhule has all summer to explain.
Disagree on All those Takes. Rhule Rules. Taken us from Trainwreck to Bowling in 2yrs. He need explain Nothing, and is too busy building this program to explain anything to anyone if he did. He will Take us Back to the Top. GBR
Stop betting with your heart. BC beats NU to finish our season losing 6 of our last 7 games, and that’s not being negative nelly, this is the reality to continually, poor, inefficient coaches on the offensive side who are shuffling shells around because they have no clue. Then they’ll hard sell everyone how excited they are for “next season”.
"Little more than an exhibition game???" Doesn't mean anything???? Who are you? Do you really think some of these 4, 5 and even 6 year players don't care if they win? Please talk to Ty Robinson and ask him if he cares. I guess I know now why I don't watch these clowns. I can't even finish this video!
Ummmmm win, lose, draw. Husker fans are elated we are bowling....saying this means nothing......look at the stands come game time (RED)....dude with red hat is lost....like for real lost!
My takes on Motivation for this game, 1; the seniors get One More Chance to Up Their Stock, the ones who are going next level, those who aren't, this is their Last Game. Ever. B; they do not seem like the type who Live in Fear, but as Rhule puts it, "are Lions". 3; This Game equates to a Losing or Winning Season. Forever. In the History Books. Someone on that coaching staff has to be making That Point for Sure. I think their Hair will be on Fire, HellBent for Victory. GO. BIG. RED!!!
I think it matters. We still need to show sustained progress. A loss will really leave a bad taste in our mouth and will result in a long off-season. Go Big Red!
1 and 5 down the stretch hasn't left a bad taste in your mouth already?
@@thehappyhermit01a lot of the conference play choking was bad play calling
@@RainbowManification So, the 5 and 1 start was good play calling? Lol
@David, Agreed! Go Big Red!
A good showing, especially play calling, can still help with recruiting and the back end of the transfer portal
While the outcome of this bowl game won’t change much, there’s a BIG difference between 7-6 vs 6-7 heading into the offseason.
Beating Iowa would have made this game meaningless, but here we are
No game meaningless

Yeah that’s been the concern for 9 years

Winning is important because it builds confidence
Then why did they go 1 and 5 after starting 5 and 1?
So losing 5 of the last 6, backing into this low rank bowl game everyone was begging for, you can imagine what their confidence looks like as soon as the turn the ball over early.
Great points guys. You 2 are over how husker fans feel about this game. Hope you put out content during the off season. GBR

Totally agree see 🌽 37-28
👍
Sounds good to me GBR !!!
Why is Neyor in such a rush to be an undrafted free agent?
Exactly nobody is drafting him..
He's not going to the NFL now. Just transferring
Replacing Gifford with a guy that is speedy fast and tackles is an upgrade already for the defense. GBR
I don't understand the take that winning or losing this game doesn't matter.... Winning convincingly, finishing the season above .500, can be a huge catapult going into 2025. We should REALLY want to win this game. Also, their stud DE is not playing...
Nice! Without #6, #15 will pick them Apart! Even in crap weather GBR!
Really, bro. Doesn't matter if we lose. Wrong on every level. Cop out.
.
GBR, Merry Christmas fellas
Play this game like it’s Ohio state let’s go.
This game does matter and getting the win is huge for our program I think this portal crap has to stop
Transfer portal has completely ruined college football
Bc will be without trapilo and Ezeiruaku so idk why you are afraid of there d line
Bbo, is one a them #6?
Nobody cares about the outcome until we lose by a walk-off FG again… lol
“WE”?
Biteyertonguebruh!!!
@@BurntWorld bruh? Not a real word
@@robertmartin5308 Sure it is , Bruh!
@ I guess it is fir the uneducated
I hope they look different. And the more different the better.
But I predict the offensive structure they use will look a lot more like what we've seen all year than something new.
Huskers by 21
See ya tommorrow guys!
If you’re not gonna play the win . Why even play the game. Just one man’s opinion. I believe both teams are going to play hard.
Not having those extra practices over the last eight years takes its toll no doubt .
Backed in to our first Bowl Game in how many years, 6-6, and they think it’s a great time “to look different”…? This oughta be good…
Our?
Makes you wonder if we would have played the people who will be playing this game, all season, if we would have won more games?
@@thehojo15 “This oughta be good”…. was sarcasm.

If we don’t get to the BC QB it will be tricky to pull of the win. It’s time for someone new to step up. Shine on the diamond. GBR

Teams that win their bowl games usually fair very well the following year. Teams that lose quit often suffer. The energy off a win moving into spring has some palpability to it.
If this team can not get up to try to win their first bowl game in almost a decade, then they do not deserve to be called Huskers. It's that simple.
The significance to me is not having a losing record. It's not everything but another losing season won't help recruiting.
I just want to see the ball in Heinrich's hands at least 10 times. Dump it to him, let him run.
I totally disagree. It is a great way to build confidence and good PR for the program!!
I just want a good effort, don't show up and poop your pants on national TV. BC is good but not Miami good.
I agree
Oh they will. As soon as they turn the ball over early, and find themselves down 14-0, watch Rhuley start wandering around the sidelines all lost looking like he can’t find his car keys, and players start laying down like an old farm dog. I’ve seen this movie for too many years.
Meaningless game is insane to say
A winning season matters. Those 2 opt-outs help considerably.. I think this game matters more to Nebraska than BC. Nebraska 31 Boston College 20 (it could be a blowout)
Actually, it doesn't look like Ezerauku will play for BC
It matters! Why talk it down so much? Nobody should like to lose!
I completely agree they will look way different. Especially offensively
What I find hilarious is since ht last bowl Nebraska has spent like 150 million on coaches and faculties...and for that they get...a 6 win bad boy mowers pinstripe bowl.
Facts. Better win a minimum of 8 games next year starting with a bc win. We will see
We're on the up
@BurntWorld I'll believe it when I see it.
I’m surprised this game isn’t played in Fargo, ND.
Get under center, put in a FB, play Husker Football.
Ditch the screen, ditch the shotgun, get receivers who block.
BC 45 Neb 9
😆
Bold Prediction...wrong, IMO, but bold. Enjoy the game , may the Best Team Win!🏴☠️☠️🌽🐻❄️🌽☠️🏴☠️❗GBR!!!
I dont believe in that. That is not Nebraska football. You play to win the game. If you can't get fired up, you might as well stay home.
There will be more young guys in, 25 ish players are gone.

this is a program that needs to win where it can get it, we have been in a fog for over 20 years
damn boys I don't think either of you played competitive sports. They will come out fired up and they will play with hair on fire.
Outside of Gybor and Dowdell we didn’t lose much production anyway
Having to win the game is more important to the fans than the players.

Stop drinking the koolaid. We’ve heard to for 9 years, we’ve heard this over a record setting 27 straight losses to Ranked Opponents.
Not true at all
Quit being silly
