Since we play Nebraska this week, it is worth calling out their 79.2% number. Almost all of that success has come against the weaker competition.

In their last three games (all losses), Nebraska got into the redzone a total of 6 times, scoring only 4 times (three of them touchdowns -- one against IU and two against Oregon). They only got into redzone one time last week, and did not score.

Hopefully that downward trend continues and they get 0 trips to redzone this week.

For late fall, give me the 11am BTN game. We can play while the sun's out and avoid the colder night games.

I really miss when games were 11am or 2:30pm. I'm not a fan of the Thursday night or Friday night games. 11am games you are able to tailgate a little and then after the game, hang out and still make it home for the late games in primetime.

(And it may just be me, but it feels like there are fewer commercial breaks on BTN)
