Huskers Fall Short in Loss to No. 19 Wisconsin

Nebraska pushed No. 19 Wisconsin to the limit before falling, 35-28, Saturday afternoon at Camp Randall Stadium

The Huskers (3-8) trailed by seven following Braelon Allen's 53-yard touchdown run with 3:50 remaining, but Nebraska made one final drive. Adrian Martinez completed four straight passes before a pass interference call put the ball at the Wisconsin 11-yard line. After a holding penalty pushed the ball back to the 21, three straight incomplete passes set up a controversial fourth down play. Martinez threw toward Zavier Betts, who looked to be interfered with but no call was made, and the Badgers held on to keep their Big Ten West Division hopes alive
