Wolverines throttle Huskers in Big House rout

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The calendar hasn’t yet turned to October, but the Big House on Saturday afternoon quickly became a house of horrors for visiting Nebraska.

Who knows where this Huskers team will be by Halloween, but right now must feel a bit nightmarish for coach Scott Frost's first team.

NU suffered one of the worst defeats in school history at the hands of the No. 19 Wolverines, who wasted little time establishing themselves as the far superior outfit in every phase of a 56-10 victory.

Jim Harbaugh’s team spent a beautiful autumn afternoon simply dominating the line of scrimmage, piling up 39 points and holding the Huskers to 17 total yards of offense in a first half that goes into the NU record book as the most lopsided in at least the modern era.
