Nebraska has given up as many first downs in two game (73 combined to Arkansas State and Ohio State) as Michigan has given up in six games.

 

Nebraska is getting outscored 80-38 in the first quarter.  We're getting outscored in the second quarter 67-48.  So 147-86 before halftime.

 

The bolded trend didn't just start this year.  Last year, we were outscored in the first half 143-178.  We were behind at halftime in eight games.  It wasn't just the better teams either.  Illinois was winning at halftime last year.  Purdue was winning at halftime last year.  Minnesota was winning at halftime.  We came back and won those games, but we were a slow starter.

Huskers fall from #72 offensive scoring efficiency for the season to #102 for the last three games.  Obviously playing Wisconsin and Ohio State have a decent amount to do with that.  But we've still only scored 3 TDs in the last 2 games.  That's not being competitive.

I watched the whole game w a sorta neutral fascination at our inability to stop them even once-the probability of that happening is next to zero.

 

Plus I bet my cat that we wouldnt, and we didnt, so I won.

Nothing, really. Just remembered that we could never stop them last year either
