Nebraska's stunning collapse just the latest Cornhusker head-scratcher as Indiana's winning streak lives on
The Huskers were up 17-6 at home against defending national champion Indiana. The streak was 12 minutes away from being broken. And then it all came crashing down for them.
Nebraska's stunning collapse is just the latest head-scratcher for the Cornhuskers, as Indiana's winning streak continues. In a shocking turn of events, the Huskers fell 20-17 to defending national champion Indiana, marking their 31st loss to a ranked opponent since September 2016. The Cornhuskers were up 17-6 against Indiana, hosting the game at home, with the 12-minute mark approaching a potential break in the streak.
However, Indiana mounted a rally and the final score will forever burn in Huskerville. The Nebraska Cornhuskers have struggled at home, losing eight consecutive games by three points or less. A massive coverage failure in the secondary allowed IU's Nick Marsh to score two crucial touchdowns, one on a fourth-and-1 play. The Nebraska defense had miscalculated the Indiana personnel package.
Meanwhile, Indiana's coaching staff, led by Curt Cignetti, has endured a remarkable 22-game winning streak. Cignetti believes his team's comeback kids "took a deep breath and relaxed and forgot all the garbage in the first half." Indiana now faces Ohio State, potentially tying Ohio State for the longest winning streak in Big Ten conference history.
