It would have been the greatest comeback in Nebraska Cornhuskers Football history. Instead, it was a buildup to a disappointing finish.
The Huskers, who were down 23 points in the Fourth Quarter, fought their way back to tie their game with the Miami Hurricanes at 33 to send it to the extra frame. However, a interception & personal foul allowed the Canes to win the game 36-33 in front of 53,580 spectators at Sun Life Stadium.
Nebraska (1-2) was outgunned, outmanned and outschemed by the Hurricanes (3-0) through the first three periods of play. However, the Huskers used a massive fourth quarter output fueled by Tommy Armstrong Jr.
