WHAT’S AT STAKE: Nebraska has won two straight home games as it returns to Memorial Stadium following a narrow 36-31 loss at No. 8 Ohio State – a performance that has players, coaches and fans encouraged for a strong finish to head coach Scott Frost’s first season. The Huskers can’t reach bowl eligibility status, so winning these final three games is their primary goal, and to send this senior class out on a winning streak and set a positive tone for the offseason.
