It was another typical late finish for Nebraska vs Northwestern as the Wildcats scored a touchdown in overtime on a 4th and one quarterback sneak by Clayton Thorson to win 31-24.
Nebraska missed opportunities while Northwestern’s offense doddled around the field in the third quarter and the result was history making as the Wildcats became the first team in college football history to win three consecutive overtime games.
It was a disappointing outing for Nebraska quarterback Tanner Lee as he went 21-for-38 for 225 yards, two touchdowns but three interceptions. Nebraska’s defense gave up 475 total yards, 232 on the ground and 243 threw the air.
