Northern Illinois shocked Nebraska at home on Saturday afternoon, beating the Cornhuskers 21-17 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln behind Jordan Huff's 145 rushing yards and a score.
Tanner Lee offered a mixed bag for Nebraska at quarterback, finishing 25-of-47 with 299 yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. The loss was the latest disappointment for a Nebraska program that has struggled in recent seasons under head coach Mike Riley, as Stewart Mandel of The Athletic and Darren Rovell of ESPN.com noted:
Stewart MandelWhat a bad, bad loss for Mike Riley. Sad state of affairs for Nebraska football.
