Nebraska’s first game without Scott Frost started out perfectly. And then it turned into a disaster.
The Cornhuskers gave up 49 consecutive points to Oklahoma on the way to a 49-14 loss to the Sooners on Saturday in interim coach Mickey Joseph’s first game. Nebraska was overwhelmed in every facet of the game and somehow looked worse than it did in the 45-42 loss to Georgia Southern that led to Frost’s firing.
Nebraska stopped Oklahoma from getting a first down on the first possession of the game and immediately drove down the field and scored as Casey Thompson hit Trey Palmer for a 32-yard TD.
