LINCOLN, Neb. -- One week after first-year coach Scott Frost said Nebraska hit rock bottom with a blowout loss at Michigan, the Cornhuskers returned home Saturday and fell 42-28 to Purdue to establish a school record for futility.
Going back to last season, it marked the eighth straight loss for the five-time national champion program, surpassing the seven straight losses endured in 1918-19 and 1957.
The Huskers have not won a game since Oct. 28, 2017, at Purdue and last won at Memorial Stadium 53 weeks ago over Rutgers. This season's 0-4 start is the worst for Nebraska since 1945, when it opened with five straight losses.
