Report Card: An Ohio State University 26, Huskers 17
Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Well, it wasn’t a “one-score” defeat at nine points. Yet, it’s still in the neighborhood of “close”. And so, it’s yet another sad episode of a formulaic television series; you don’t know how it’s going to get there, but you know exactly how it ends each week.
We’ve been through ten episodes of this series, and the amazing thing to me is that (a) the players showed up and did their damndest to try to get to a different ending against a top five opponent, and (b) about 70,000 Husker fans showed up to see if somehow game ten would somehow be different.
