The Nebraska Cornhuskers went 2-0 last week for the first time in conference play in years, and defeated two ranked teams on the road in consecutive games for the first time in program history. Nebraska defeated No. 23 Ohio State in Columbus Tuesday and No. 10 Wisconsin Sunday in Madison. The win over Wisconsin was just the fourth over an AP Top-10 program in history and the first by the Huskers since 2014.
Coming off such a spectacular week for the program, freshman Bryce McGowens picked up his eighth Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors this season, and it marks his fifth in the last six weeks dating to Jan.
