LINCOLN, Neb. -- First-year coach Scott Frost warned last week things could get worse for winless Nebraska Cornhuskers before they get better.
Anyone who watched 14th-ranked Michigan's 56-10 throttling of the Cornhuskers on Saturday would be hard-pressed to imagine how things could get worse than they are now.
The Huskers (0-3, 0-1 Big Ten) are off to their worst start since George "Potsy" Clark's 1945 team opened 0-5. They've lost seven straight games since last season, with the opponents scoring 31, 54, 56, 56, 33, 24 and 56 points.
A loss at home to Purdue Boilermakers this Saturday would give Nebraska an eight-game losing streak and seven-game home losing streak, both unprecedented in the program's 129 seasons.
