Nebraska was down 10-0 and reeling midway through the second quarter against Troy on Saturday, when Will Honas got his.

Things had just gotten worse for Nebraska in the process, however, as junior linebacker Mohamed Barry lowered his head and dove into a pile.

He connected with Troy quarterback Sawyer Smith’s head and earned an ejection for the rest of what became Nebraska’s first 0-2 start in more than 60 years.
