Getting to a bowl game while putting in players for next year.

We need two wins to get to a bowl game with three opportunities remaining. Obviously Nebraska should try as hard as possible to get to a bowl game this year, however, we should also try to get our younger players as many repetitions as possible. We still have a bunch of guys from the 2019 class to get experience in these last three games, so we can go into next year with more guys ready to contribute but still with four years to play here.

On to Flakes. GBR.
