Look, Nebraska will only improve by playing teams similar to them and by recruiting better. Building this takes baby steps.
I get the mentality of wanting to see where we are, but Ohio State is a team stocked full of NFL talent at nearly every position. Over our last several meetings, forcing Ohio State to even punt was a challenge. There is no growth to be had getting obliterated, they are out of our league.
Every fan, coach, and player knows how this is going to shake out. You don't have to be a football genius to predict what happens when a team full of NFL talent plays a team without it.
