Nebraska football's Week 2 game against Colorado and the Sanders clan has 'must-win' written all over it
Before I make my case, it's important to note that I typically don't throw around terms like "must-win" willy nilly. In the, I don't recall ever referring to a game as "must-win". If I have, it would have been for a division title or bowl eligibility, not a Week 2 nonconference game in a coach's second season.The offseason optimism in Lincoln is higher than it has been in years. Nebraska could get off to a very big start in 2024. NU opens at home against UTEP.
Now, it's time for those seedlings to start poking through. Getting off to a quick start in 2024 would be like a sunny day after a nourishing rain shower.

Kansas State held that top spot for a while. Mizzou too. Heartbreaking losses against Miami, Florida State, and Texas put them high on the list as well. And since Nebraska joined the Big Ten, Iowa is definitely in the conversation. As someone with the distinct displeasure of seeing Nebraska lose in every stadium of the original Big XII North, I can assure you that the scariest walk back to the car was in Boulder, with another black and gold team a distant second.
