if we lose, the narrative will be “no one expected them to beat Ohio State, but they still have momentum.” That will be the perception and perception is reality and recruiting reality.
Take a quick break... perceived reality matters. Have recruits left Buddahaw U in Lincoln en masse? No. Have they gotten new recruits as the losses have piled up? Also no. We avoided the perception of an overrated team. At least for now, the worried are gone.
Say we beat Ohio State though? Allow yourself to dream for a minute? What changes?
1) we are almost guaranteed a bowl. Even just beating IU and fluffy hype up in the twin cities gets us in.
2) we become a team that is seen as a favorite or even THE favorite in the Big West. Few teams in the NATION will be seen as having as much momentum as us.
3) we clean house on the remaining recruits we want. Nothing KFC U has done is going to be seen as being on the level of beating OSU on the national stage. We may even flip a guy or two. Graham might be in anyway... we may be wandales new favorite for more than five minutes
4) we get off to a great start with 2020 recruits. Especially with those in the building.
5) the Brohm is too good for Purdue talk will ramp up to ludicrous speed. So we better have a new raise ready that night lol.
