2002 Nebraska Football Team

The 2002 Nebraska football team was a disaster of historical proportions. Everything was fine as our beloved Huskers cruised to a 3 – 0 record to start the season. Then came the trip to Beaver Stadium against Penn State. #7 Nebraska rolled into town expecting victory. They came away with a one-sided thrashing not in their favor as the Nittany Lions won 40 – 7.

Everyone was shocked at how poorly Nebraska played and how badly they were beaten. The following week I made the trip to Ames, Iowa with a couple of good friends.
