BOULDER — The Huskers Hangover?
Still real. Still spectacular.
Since 1996, the Buffs have had to lace ‘em up six times the week after playing rival Nebraska. They’ve now lost four of those matchups — and this one, a 30-23 overtime defeat at the hands of Air Force, was as painful as it was thorough.
The first meeting of the state’s two most storied Football Bowl Subdivision programs since 1974, and the first at Folsom Field since 1973, lived up to its billing — especially late.
Over the final 3:53 of regulation, quarterback Steven Montez drove the Buffs 60 plays to knot the score at 23-23, thanks to some timely assists from partner Laviska Shenault.
