Big games letdown

When is the last time Nebraska won a big game since Tom Osborne retired?

Depends on what you mean by 'big game.' Our last win vs a top 5 opponent was Black 41 Flash Reverse Pass against Oklahoma in '01. Since then, we are 0-9. 

In 2010, we beat #7 Missouri, a game in which Helu broke the single game rushing record, and I think it still stands to this day. 

In 2011, we beat #9 Michigan State and #12 Penn State. That year also included a 27 point comeback against unranked Ohio State.

In 2012, we beat #20 Michigan.

In 2013, we beat #23 Georgia, a team that included Todd Gurley.

In 2015, we beat undefeated #6/7 Michigan State. Probably the biggest upset win this program has had since beating #4 Texas in 1960

In 2016, we beat #22 Oregon. This is probably our last big win, though the win over Michigan State last year was nice.

The times we beat Michigan State since joining the B1G felt pretty great, even if I knew we weren't going to win the conference.

Thanks for the correction. I'm getting senile, my brain thinks one thing and my fingers type something else.....
