There’s something to be said about how Nebraska has played against the most challenging competition on its schedule.
Saturday’s effort against No. 5 Ohio State was another perfect example of that, as the Huskers had every opportunity to pull out the most significant win of the Scott Frost era up until the final minutes.
However, just like it was at Oklahoma, at Michigan State, and vs. Michigan, NU couldn’t make enough winning plays when it mattered the most.

Once again, their reward was having to watch the team’s other two phases fail to live up to their ends of the bargain.
It’s hard to consider a game in which the other team racks up nearly 500 yards and over 400 through the air an impressive outing. But the Blackshirts stepped up when they had to and held the most prolific scoring offense in the country to just 26 points.
That marked Ohio State’s lowest point total of the season and 21 points under their nation-leading average. The last team to hold the Buckeyes under 30 points in a game was Alabama in the 2020 national championship.
