Nebraska recorded its fifth straight losing season when the Huskers suffered a 28–21 loss to No. 16 Iowa on Friday afternoon. But, for Nebraska, that was not all.
The Huskers (3–9) became the first team in college football history to lose nine games by single digits in the same season, according to Big Ten Network's Dave Revsine. Nebraska finished the season 1–8 in conference play—and their combined scoring margin in those games was 0.
Four of the five Huskers consecutive losing seasons have come under the direction of Nebraska football coach Scott Frost. With Friday's loss to the Hawkeyes, the Huskers suffered eight losses by a combined 49 points.
