Nothing comes easy for this team. Nothing comes without drama either, good or bad. In a season full of gut wrenching losses and games that go right down to the wire, a season full of frustration was released in a euphoric celebration after Connor Cook's pass sailed out-of-bounds and incomplete as time expired, completing the wild comeback win over #7 Michigan State.
The Huskers found their ground game after, running for 179 yards, but it was the passing game that won it for the Huskers late. In another wild 4th Quarter rally, NU quarterback Tommy Armstrong was 6/10 for 140 yards and a TD.
