Josh On Nebraska
“I bled big red last year because I had him in the playoff at 10 and two.”
“Just because you see someone on a journey doesn't mean you have to take the journey with them.”
“Anthony Calandria goes for 40 total touchdowns, helping Nebraska win 10-plus games, and Nebraska sneaks into the playoff under Matt Rhule in year four. Yeah, that's drugs. That's a 9.75 on the boldness scale.”
“I saw Will Compton last year. I looked in those eyes last year. So, you you don't know what it's like. I know what it's like. Not just on the camera, but off camera, to watch that hope build, and to watch that chest get bigger and bigger as those predictions come in.”
