LINCOLN — In a game dominated by defense, Northwestern (1-4, 0-3 B1G) broke in the final minute, falling 13-10 to Nebraska (4-2, 2-1 B1G) in one of the ugliest games either of the teams have played in recent memory.
A costly Aidan Smith interception on what looked to be a pretty blatant pass interference call in the game’s dying moments gave the ball to the Husker offense who took advantage on the game’s only turnover and converted a field goal to seal the win for Scott Frost’s team as time expired.
The call was far from the only factor that determined this game, but the replays show the Huskers got away with one.
