Nebraska has one thing to thank for its historic sellout streak continuing this season: The hiring of coach Scott Frost.
"Last year was hard for the people here because we went 4-8. I don't think the stadium would have been sold out," former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne told Chris Low of ESPN. "We've been sold out for 50-plus years. I think that streak would have gone had Scott not come back, so there's a significant renewed enthusiasm."
Nebraska has sold out 361 consecutive home games, a streak that began in 1962. Once a perennial contender and Top 25 fixture, Nebraska has lost at least four games in every season since 2003.
