There you have it.
The Blackshirts won a game for the Huskers.
They created four turnovers and scored two touchdowns. This was during a day in which the Nebraska “high-powered” offense struggled to sustain drives. In fact, the Nebraska “high-powered” offense was out gained 38 yards.
Unfortunately, however, is that the defense should not have had to do this against a team like South Alabama.
Nebraska was not alone in that regard across the college football landscape. Iowa State (ranked 21st) needed three overtimes to beat Northern Iowa. Minnesota pulled out a squeaker against South Dakota State.
