Nebraska might just have scored its most significant win of the season this week. We aren't talking about the 37-27 win over Purdue. The victory we are talking about is the satisfaction of knowing you were right along. Now, even the Huskers' most staunch detractors have to admit it. 

On this edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast presented by the Rimington Trophy, Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss another crazy COVID week in the Big 10. Ohio State has just five games played this season. When Conference leadership wrote the rules at the beginning of the season, that would not have been enough to play in the Big 10 Championship game. But the Buckeyes have a chance at the College Football Playoff and a National Championship. This league was so hell-bent on not changing its stance for anyone (especially Nebraska) caved under pressure.  And rightfully so! 

So Nebraska heads into its game with Minnesota full of confidence after a win against Purdue and the satisfaction of waving a big middle-finger at the likes of Pat Forde, Paul Finebaum, Dennis Dodd, and Steward Mandel. Maybe this season a'int so bad after all.
