Horrendous spot costs Nebraska, gives Northwestern free TD

Related Topics: Nebraska

"Refs you suck," rained down from the stands during the third quarter of Nebraska's game versus Northwestern. In a day when the referees have been the usual degree of Big Ten refs bad, their blown call on a 4th and short call for Northwestern was easily the most egregious. Not just of the game, but perhaps the season.

With the Huskers leading the game 21-6 and looking to take all the momentum, Northwestern ran a short pass play that was caught, then bobbled, and as the receiver ran backwards, short of the first-down line, seen again.
