We won a damn one-score game!
Granted, we had to completely shut down the offense in the second half again, much like in the first three games. But this time we were playing with a much smaller lead on the bingo card. Thankfully, when Rutgers took over on their 11 with 2:17 to go and plenty of time to make the Huskers’ ultra-conservative strategy bite them in the cheeks, they did so with Athan Kaliakmanis tasked with slinging it.
The ineffectual way he had been doing that all day (15-37 186 1 TD 2 INTs) coupled with the harassment the Blackshirts were unleashing on him (four sacks and seven more hits), gave fans a little comfort as Rutgers began their final drive.
