Nebraska’s offense hit the first of two bye weeks this fall in a lull the likes of which head coach Scott Frost has not experienced since he first started coaching at the Football Bowl Subdivision level 11 years ago.
The Cornhuskers have scored just one offensive touchdown in each of the past three games and needed a last-second field goal against Northwestern on Oct. 5 to notch a win in that stretch. Remarkably, NU hasn’t turned the ball over either of the past two weeks and still totaled just 13 and 7 points, due mostly to the fact that it is averaging just 4.
