I was very adamant that against OSU the extreme temp and humidity were the reason we lost (which I still stand by), so to be fair, I think we lose this game with a 5pm start time.

Nebraska played us very tough, but I don't think physiologically you can operate at peak performance at 2am.

It's the same reason for pac12 after dark craziness playing at 11pm, but on steroids for Nebraska with such a late time for their body clocks.

Yes DR came in and started making key throws , but there were straight ahead plays that weren't working all game that started to working better the later it got. Nebraska didn't wear down like that against Indiana (they just got coverage beat twice by NFL level receiver talent).

Still happy we won, but circumstances were definitely in our favor with Nebraska playing in a foreign environment way past their bedtime.

UO, UW, USC and UCLA are asked to do the same only in reverse and a lot more often. Game prep starting at 6am is equally difficult.

Add travel miles and UO is at an even greater disadvantage as the season wears on and travel starts to compound.

I don't think I will be feeling sorry for any B1G team around body clock and travel miles.
