So you’re saying that we can lose tomorrow and then make it up by beating the same team on the road later,.Again, this is not a must win. Probably only at Nebraska is a must win. Lets say we lose tonight, but then beat Northwestern, Indian and Maryland at home. We also win at Nebraska and Minnesota. That puts us at 11-9, a loss tomorrow won't matter at all.
There are many paths to 11-9. Winning tomorrow makes the journey easier so to me it’s as must a win game as any on our schedule.
