If you could replay one game...

This season has been interesting and I can't say I predicted it as it has played out, but one thing I did predict was that we'd see a team playing better by the end of the year then earlier in the season. I think we can make that claim.

Knowing that, if you could pick one team to play again (obviously we'd probably like to play several of them) which game would you like to play over to flip a loss into a win?

I'd probably pick BYU or Purdue.

BYU because who knows how momentum works if they win that game and Purdue because it looked like Nebraska had a chance of turning the corner after the Minny win and then fell flat.

I'd prefer building on success rather than starting out with a loss, so it would be the BYU game.

I suppose in a literalist sense we are playing better near the end of the season.

BYU for sure. This is a mentally fragile group and that win could have changed the complexion of the season.

I agree with all. My personal choice would be BYU or Miami. Would have set a completely different tone for the season IMO.

For the potential momentum it would have given NU I'd go with BYU. If it's about erasing one loss it has to be Purdue... by a mile.

you replay the Illinois or Purdue games because those are the ones with the best chance of winning

very real chance we lose to BYU, Miami, Wisconsin and Northwestern again

if it is just one play --BYU certainly, but not replay the entire game
