Nebraska Cornhuskers: Wide receivers had best game of year

The Nebraska Cornhuskers needed an extraordinary effort from the entire team to defeat the Michigan State Spartans, 39-38. However, one of their offensive units came into the game with plenty of injuries.

If you haven’t noticed, the Huskers’ wide receivers have looked like the walking wounded for much of the season. Despite some explosive games, they were marred by inconsistency throughout the season.

Whether it was dropped passes, or injuries, there was always some dilemma getting in the Huskers’ way. However, they seemed to put it all together on Saturday night. Before the game, there was uncertainty on how much the entire wide receiver corps could contribute.
