Earlier this year, when the Nebraska football team lost to Michigan 56-10, head coach Scott Frost told Cornhuskers fans the program had officially hit bottom. The allusion there was that it could only go up from there.
Since that proclamation, the Huskers have kept digging. Bottom was followed by a loss at home to Purdue and a loss at Camp Randall to Wisconsin.
The loss to the Badgers was called somewhat successful by the staff because they felt the team was playing better and a turnaround was just around the corner. For three quarters on Saturday, it felt like they knew exactly what they were talking about.
