Nebraska players and coaches are keenly aware of the program’s ongoing drought away from Memorial Stadium.
The Huskers (2-1), who travel to Illinois (2-1) this weekend and opened the week as approximately a touchdown favorite, have not won a road game since Oct. 28, 2017, when Tanner Lee threw a last-second touchdown to Stanley Morgan against Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium for the final victory of the Mike Riley era.
Fast forward 693 days and the Scott Frost-led Huskers will take the field in Champaign, Illinois looking to stop an eight-game road skid and notch the first win away from home since Frost took over.
