Gotta think the O/U goes up some before kickoff. But I hope it doesn't. This season needs that total for posterity.

I'm hoping we rest any/all players who are dinged up and those who would benefit from some rest. In fact, I would be OK with resting our entire starting offense and defense. If it insults Nebraska, all the better.

Respectfully, but strenuously, disagree.

If we rest our banged up guys, that doesn't help us get McNamara, Lachey, All, or DeJean back, and those are the guys that would materially impact the outcome of the title game. Maybe having our banged up guys a bit fresher for the B1G title game moves us from being a 20 point underdog to being an 18 point underdog. Is that worth the cost of decreasing our odds of winning a trophy game vs. a border rival in which we are slightly favored?
