Fresno State missteps pile up as Nebraska pulls away
LINCOLN, Neb.
You kinda knew the outcome beforehand, right? You knew Fresno State wasn’t going to march into Memorial Stadium, in front of 90,013 of the nicest football fans on Earth, and knock off Nebraska.
All you wanted was for the Bulldogs to put up a strong fight. Your expectations were reasonable.
And Fresno State did put up a fight, showing more competitiveness and combativity (at least 75 percent of the way) than we’ve seen the past two seasons against Power Five conference opponents.
Why does Saturday night’s loss to Nebraska leave a slightly acidic taste? Because it would’ve been much closer if the Bulldogs didn’t make a litany of little mistakes before their big letdown.
