New season, same Nebraska.
Nebraska’s miserable 3-9 record in 2021 included an impressively bad 0-8 mark in one-score games. To start off the 2022 campaign, the Huskers added another one-score loss to Scott Frost’s resume.
In a brutal 31-28 loss to Northwestern on Saturday in Ireland, Nebraska blew two double-digit leads. The Huskers jumped out to a 14-3 lead in the first half and then again went ahead by 11 in the third quarter.
But Frost’s team never scored again as Northwestern stormed back for a big upset victory.
The turning point was an inexplicably-called onside kick by Nebraska.
