The only bright spot for Nebraska’s football team on a forgettable night came when quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., still wearing the bottoms of his hospital scrubs, came trotting back into Ohio Stadium during the third quarter.
Armstrong, who’d accumulated 93 yards of offense to push his career total 10,254 yards, surpassing Taylor Martinez for first place on the Nebraska career charts, had left the stadium via ambulance in the first half.
Nebraska trailed 24-3 when Armstrong, after gaining 11 yards on a third-and-7 run, banged his helmet against the turf as he was tackled along the sideline with 6:02 remaining in the second quarter.
