With the Nebraska offense set to take the field at its own 7-yard line and needing 93 yards to tie Indiana in the fourth quarter, Scott Frost looked at athletic trainer Mark Mayer and had a simple question.
That’s what the Huskers’ quarterback situation devolved to as a 38-31 loss to Indiana progressed on Saturday.
McCaffrey had just one miss in the passing game, completing 5 of 6 passes for 71 yards. The best throw was his first college touchdown. In the final minute of second quarter McCaffrey rolled to his right and made a quick throw to open receiver Kanawai Noa for a 24-yard touchdown that gave Nebraska a 21-16 lead.
