You have to admit that Nebraska looked like it was waiving the white flag on the season early against Rutgers with four first quarter fumbles, losing two of them. Let’s get back on the plane and go home. Enough of this totally crappy year.
But Nebraska didn’t head to the airport at halftime; the Huskers came back to a frozen football field in Jersey and made a statement. Three touchdown drives of 90, 96 and 92 plays showed us a taste of what Scott Frost has been trying to implement at Nebraska. It was why Nebraska pushed so hard to play football in this pandemic year.
