Since about 2:30 pm last Saturday, I think every Husker fan dreaded what might happen in Columbus this weekend. So much so that if asked, most Husker fans would have said this week that a four point lost to the Buckeyes sounded just fine to them.
I dare say that no Husker fans were saying that during the fourth quarter...especially when the Huskers had a 17-14 lead. It was a solid game by Nebraska’s Blackshirt defense, which prevented an Ohio State first down on 8 of 12 possessions. Spectacular, if you will, considering that’s less than half of Ohio State’s 43.
