What’s the difference really?

Vols still have some hope because it's in a much better area and closer to talent than Nebraska. That's the main difference. You could still see the Vols get top talent, Nebraska not so much. So a small amount of hope vs no hope basically 😂. Vols just need a good coach. Nebraska could get a good coach and still be in a **** situation.

Nebraska REALLY hurt their program by moving to the B1G. They left the XII when it was still a strong conference, severed their ties with historical rivalries, and lost influence in their best recruiting grounds of Texas & Oklahoma. No one cares about Nebraska in the B1G.

Personally, if they wanted to rejuvenate their program, I think they should try and make a move to the SEC. I’d trade Mizzou for them, haha. But, such a move would reunite them with some old conference foes of Texas, OU, TAMU, and Mizzou. They would gain the advantage of selling SEC football to recruits and crawl their way out of irrelevancy. While it won’t necessarily help them pull the top players again, it would assist in bringing-in more of those high mid-tier guys in their sphere of influence.

I had a terrible dream in which all 3 of our QB's got injured against Bowling Green, and out of nowhere JG comes running out of the tunnel to lead the Vols to a loss.

Really wouldn't want that to happen though. They're too West to be in the SEC imo. It wouldn't add much revenue to the SEC. And the SEC should focus on bringing in quality programs.

Oh no, the sheer terror of JG coming back to play for us. Disaster.

Nothing more frustrating than being down a couple of scores and not being able to stop simple running plays

If I was the AD for Nebraska, I would fire Frost after the game. He’s a QB coach, and his QB is terrible.

If the ‘Huskers don’t score on this drive, this game is done.

I, for one, am hoping for a close, drama-filled ending.

Instead, we’ll probably see some pick-6 by Martinez to seal it with a 3-score lead.

First of all JG running out of the tunnel like that would never happen. Minute the fan base saw him coming out of the tunnel, half the fans in the stadium would be jumping on the field to stop him. The guy that handles Smokey might even turn the leash loose to let the old boy join the chase

Even if JG survived all that, he would throw a pick 6 to a security guard while warming up

Nebraska has to move quickly here. They seemed to do better with the hurry-up offense.

One thing Martinez has over JG is that he is actually a threat with his legs.

And...a fumble. Good Lord.

I will say, while Martinez has done some very JG-esque things this game, he is still out there playing with some grit & heart. JG’s problem was that he quit mentally when things got bad. Some good running by AM.

Nebraska should just go back to the triple option with Martinez.. this offense sucks
