FLAG! I WON THE HEISMAN!!!". The guy just got up time after time and kept making play after play. Tough kid. And don't worry, I won't jinx him and buy his jersey.
I love his moxy...about how he wanted to return Nebraska to prominence. Well, he is going to get a shot to do that in Cincinnati, and 2-14 was more than worth it.
Could you imagine if we had completed that Miami win for the "moral" of it and then missed out on Burrow?
I know rooting for your team to lose FEELS like you're not a true fan (as Dalton said, I guess), but this was an opportunity that we could not pass up. Burrow for a decade is going to feel WAY better than a meaningless win against a shit team just to make us feel better for a few minutes.
