CORN NATION REACTS Poll Results: Well, Washington Happened. Now What?
The vote closed on Friday morning before the game. Now, how will it play out?
Another week, another 4th quarter collapse for the Nebraska Huskers. As the Huskers took over with a solid chance to win or tie the game following Anthony Colandrea's pick-6, a press box spectator quipped, "Well, shit. Of course we are. Why not?" The gloomy atmosphere continued to grow around the team, with one player calling it "Rodney Dangerfield's Night at the Improv" as jokes and laughter filled the room.
The Huskers, much like last year's Halloween bucket of candy corn and toffee, have seen many similar results, as they snacked on Kit Kat bites and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Despite this, the majority of poll results indicated that this game would be a turning point for the team, with 91% believing they would secure a victory and charge towards the last four games as a changed team.
Only 7% thought a loss was inevitable, but still viewed the game as a turning point, possibly resulting in a 1-3 finish. Only 2% believed the team could quickly revert to "business as usual" after this game. The pressure was on the Huskers to turn this game into a win, as the next Big 10 Friday game looms, which no one wants to play and the conference's favored teams are not participating.
