Turning point: Darrion Daniels’ first-quarter interception was nearly a turning point in favor of Nebraska. Instead, by no fault of his own, it goes down as a turning point the other way.
The Huskers failed to score a touchdown from inside the 5 after Daniels’ pick, settling instead for a field goal. That was a harbinger of what was to come on a frustrating day for the offense.
It was over when: Not until sophomore quarterback Adrian Martinez’s final pass attempt of the day was batted into the air and fell harmlessly to the turf for a turnover-on-downs with less than a minute remaining and the Huskers trailing by four.
